Hauptseite

Hallo Lyzzy, ich möchte endlich einmal die Gelegenheit ergreifen und mich bei Dir dafür bedanken, daß Du Dich im vergangenen Jahr um die Hauptseite gekümmert hast. Vorher war die Situation fast schon als peinlich zu bezeichnen. Ich hatte eigentlich vor etwas daran zu ändern, bin aber leider nicht dazu gekommen. Habe nochmals vielen Dank für Deine Arbeit. Zudem möchte ich Dir ein schönes wie gesundes neues Jahr wünschen. Viele Grüße --Marbot 18:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hallo Marbot, hier auf Meta weiß man nie genau, ob Änderungen überhaupt bemerkt werden. Schön, dass es doch so ist. Gruß --Lyzzy 15:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hallo Lyzzy, ich bin davon überzeugt, daß die allermeisten Änderungen auch hier bemerkt werden. Es ist vermutlich wie im richtigen Leben: Zehn Leuten fällt es auf und einer sagt oder schreibt was dazu. Ich hab Dir gerne eine Freude gemacht, denn es tut einfach gut! Viele Grüße --Marbot 17:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

OTRS for Esperanto ("info-eo")

Hi there.

I'd like to start an OTRS queue in the Esperanto language. (According to the page OTRS, you are one to contact about it.) I am an administrator in the Esperanto Wikipedia, and I am monitoring and cleaning up the images there. Some of the people I contact, our only common language is Esperanto. Is this something you could please set up? Thanks... -- Yekrats 17:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

This barnstar is given to you for your help with the 2011 fundraiser translation.

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 13:32, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Lyzzy, habe dir soeben den Mop gegeben, nachdem ich alles erstmal in Ordnung gebracht habe. Das Flag wird dir am 31. März 2012 wieder entzogen, siehe hier. Wenn du irgendwelche Fragen hast, einfach bescheid geben. Gruß, -Barras talk 15:30, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Indonesian story

I reread Siska's report from 2010, Chapter_and_Wikimedia_Project_Primary_Challenges -- it's really quite excellent. And I liked the WM-ID memo on strategy/chapters-council best of all the published comments. We should all be referring to these ideas more often. –SJ talk  18:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Your thoughts on the FDC recommendation to the board

Hi Lyzzy,

I’m a consultant on the Bridgespan Team, working with the Wikimedia community to develop the Funds Dissemination process for the Wikimedia movement. We’re in the process of drafting the recommendations that Sue will give the Board of Trustees on what the FDC and the Funds Dissemination process will look like. As we do this, we’re seeking community input on the draft, and on the process more broadly. From your experience with the movement, you’d be a great person to provide thoughts on the draft recommendation, if you’d be willing to share them. It would be great if you could take a look at the latest draft proposal and provide any input that you have. Or, if you’d rather talk over your thoughts, I’d be happy to do a call with you – you can leave a message on my talk page or email me if you’d prefer that!

Thanks in advance!

Thank you

I wanted to thank you for being generally just very helpful and on the ball. :) Specifically, I'm thinking of your assistance with communicating about mobile feedback issues with the German OTRS team and keeping this current to improve feedback from the German community. I understand you've also begun spreading the word individually there. Thank you for all you do. --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 14:29, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Translation of Guidelines on conflict of interest

Thank you for your work on translating this. :) I've placed on the talk page the text of a professional translation. I think we all know that translations from within the community are typically much better than those prepared by people who do not understand us or our work, but I thought it possible that the professional translation (one of a suite commissioned) might be used to supplement what we have, since it says it needs updating, so we can get it published on the WMF wiki. If you have time and interest to compare the documents to see what might be usable, that would be very much appreciated. (I am also asking User:Niklas 555 and User:Pajz if they are able to take a look.) If you don't, of course, I understand completely. I just thought to ask. :) --Maggie Dennis (WMF) (talk) 13:44, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Frage zu OTRS

Hallo Lyzzy, ich habe mal eine Frage zu OTRS: Zu welchem Bild bzw. zu welcher Quelle gehört {{PermissionOTRS|id=2011020410004955}}? Es wurde seinerzeit hier eingestellt. Jetzt habe ich es zu diesem Bild verschoben, in der Annahme daß es so richtig ist. Danke im Voraus --Botaurus (talk) 14:54, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Der Text in der Notiz (siehe dein Diff-Link) stammt aus der Mail an das OTRS, das Ticket bezieht sich auf die Londoner Version. Hilft dir das weiter? Alice Wiegand (talk) 15:06, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Wenn ich das jetzt richtig verstehe, handelt es sich also nicht um eine Freigabe seitens der National Gallery London (das Bild ist ja ohnehin frei), sondern nur um die Erkenntisse oder Weisheiten eines Users zu diesem Bild, wegen der nicht passenden Bildbeschreibung? Und der hat das dann als OTRS-Ticket losgeschickt? --Botaurus (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Simple fix

Hi Lyzzy - sorry I didn't see your message earlier. It was quite a simple fix actually! Thehelpfulone 21:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, it's so confusing that our own projects are not consistent in dealing with templates. --Alice Wiegand (talk) 07:36, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Personal and Moral Rights?

In a discussion with Jimmy Wales on the moral rights of the photographers and the personal rights of the subjects, he said "I think that the commons community has gone down a very sad and disappointing path with respect to ethical matters. My views on this are not new, and are well known. Our project is a grand humanitarian effort. That it has been hijacked by people who do not share our values is something that needs to be fixed."

We further requested him to bring this matter to the attention of WMF and make a resolution or something to force Commons make enough policies to protect our rights as a photographer and our commitments to our subjects. He replied: "I am just one board member on this issue. I will continue to call this to the attention of the board and staff, but I need help from the community to illustrate that this is a problem that concerns many of us."

So we would like to bring that discussion to the attention of every member on board. JKadavoor Jee 11:06, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Privacy_Policy_—_Information_We_Collect_:_proposed_disclosure_is_misleadingly_incomplete

Apropos Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard#Privacy_Policy_.E2.80.94_Information_We_Collect_:_proposed_disclosure_is_misleadingly_incomplete: I understand that privacy is taken more seriously in the EU than the US; I'm no expert, but if I recall correctly the concern I raise is more critical there, in that a site must disclose what information it will be collecting per EU law. Please share your thoughts on the panopticlick browser sniffing disclosure issue I raise and on the EU angle.--Elvey (talk) 06:53, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

BoT questions

Hi Alice,

I've left you a note on :de, but since you haven't reacted yet I'm trying here (hopefully you get email notifications for changes to this talk page). There is a couple of questions awaiting your answer(s) here. Thanks, Popo le Chien (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Popo le Chien, I've noticed it but due to professional and other obligations I couldn't answer yet. Will try to follow up in the next days. Alice Wiegand (talk) 19:50, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Why Did You Support Granting Private Information of Editors to Anonymous Administrators?

Dear Ms. Wiegand,

I am dismayed that you and the rest of the board of trustees approved an "Access to No-Public Information" policy that allows totally anonymous administrators on the English and all the other Wikipedias to see the IPs and other potentially personally-identifying information (browser version, settings) of volunteer editors. Even though not usually immediately identifying in itself, this information can obviously be used as a stepladder to identifying through tools like Geolocate and TraceIP, as well as supporting indicators in websearching other clues from the editor's edit history.

Would you please inform me the factors that led to your support of the non-identification revision to the policy? Why would you have done this?

For your reference (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Access_to_nonpublic_data_policy) "[t]his policy has been replaced by a new Access to non public information policy, which was approved by the Board of Trustees on 25 April 2014."

I don't deny that Wikipedia's administrative participants in some cases do constructive work, in policing clear vandalism for example, or reporting to the WMF the rare cases of threats of violence. But access to personally-identifying information is not needed for that. If there are cases where volunteer administrative participants do somehow need that information, it should be entrusted to identified individuals, not anonymous usernames like "Wizardman" and "Beeblebrox" and "Dord" and so forth. Authorizing checkuser and the other tools to anonymous participants is going to attract, and has attracted, exactly the wrong kind of individuals. It's emboldening, frankly, creepers and cyberbullies. And those who participate in Wikipedia as if it were an online computer roleplaying game, without regard to the fact that those they choose to sniff and snoop (and pursue) are actually people as opposed to a computer game's NPCs (non-player characters).

Have you ever been snooped and sniffed, cyberbullied, websearched, by some creep online? I have, and it's not nice. I think if you'd been treated that way, and really understood the reality of the cyberbully culture, that you'd stand up now and reverse your support of the WMF's granting of these invasive privacy-violating tools to wholly anonymous and thus unaccountable administrative participants. Is that what it's going to take for you to change your mind? Somebody has to do it to you?

Please respond as to why you supported granting access to IP-invasive and potentially personally-identifying tools like checkuser to anonymous administrative participants.

Superschutz-Benutzer

Hallo Alice,

ich würde es begrüßen, wenn Du die unvermittlte Einführung des "Superschutz-Benutzers" (WMF-Mitarbeiter können Seiten selbst vor Bearbeitungen durch lokale, gewählte Admins schützen) im Board kritisch ansprechen würdest. Die Einführung bringt imho das Gefüge zwischen Community und WMF aus dem langjährigen Gleichgewicht, in dem nicht mehr allein auf die lokalen Selbstregulierungskräfte und Kommunikationsprozesse sondern auf Hierarchie und Kontrolle gesetzt wird. Das ist imho eine sehr ungünstige und kurzsichtige Entwicklung die zu sehr viel Frust und Unmut geführt hat und führen wird. Vielen Dank und Grüße --Superbass (talk) 22:55, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Invitation

Thank you for using VisualEditor and sharing your ideas with the developers. My apologies if you're getting this message more than once, and/or not in your favorite language.

Hello, Lyzzy,

I am contacting you because you have left feedback about VisualEditor at pages like mw:VisualEditor/Feedback in the past. The Editing team is now asking for your help with VisualEditor. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work well for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too. 

You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.

More information (including a translatable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.

Ready for translation: VisualEditor News #2—2015

Hi! This is an invitation to join translators working on the April's issue of the VisualEditor monthly newsletter, which will be widely delivered towards the end of next week. The previous bulletin was published in 26 languages—the translation was completed only for ten of them. Will we do better this month? We'd like to reach many more communities in their own language this time, as VE recently became the main editor at other 50+ Wikipedias, and we're announcing interesting developments (auto-fill features for citations, improved special character inserter, drag and drop for categories, invisible templates now marked by a puzzle piece icon, and more). Thanks a lot for your help! Elitre (WMF) 22:38, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

PS: Here are some instructions. Please go to the translation page: your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. Once you've selected it, you'll see the document in English side by side with any translation work already done in your language. You can add new translations or modify existing ones. If you need further help or would like to change the page where you're notified of future translations, please contact me directly.

Early invitation: join VisualEditor's 2015 Translathon

Hello!

You are invited to join the 2nd edition of the VisualEditor Translathon! It is a translation rally, focused on interface messages and help pages related to VisualEditor.

In order to participate, you need to sign up on the Translathon page. The top 3 contributors will each win a Wikipedia t-shirt of their choice from the Wikipedia store. Translations made between July 15th and July 19th (CDT time zone) qualify.

If you are attending Wikimania Mexico this year, you are also welcome to join a related sprint during the Hackathon in Workplace 1 - Don Américo, Thursday 16 July at 4:00 p.m (CDT) at the conference venue, so you can meet other fellow translators and get support if you need some.

Interface messages have the priority. You will need to create an account at translatewiki.net in order to work on them, if you don't have one. It is recommended to create the account ASAP, so that it can be manually confirmed in time.

You can also help translate documentation pages about VisualEditor on mediawiki.org. You can use your Wikipedia account there. You will find instructions, links and other details on the Translathon page.

Thanks for your attention, and happy translating! Elitre (WMF) 02:59, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lyzzy

You have been nominated to receive a free t-shirt from the Wikimedia Foundation through our Merchandise Giveaway program (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Merchandise_giveaways). Congratulations and thank you for your hard work!

Please email us at merchandise@wikimedia.org and we will send you full details on how to accept your free shirt.

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 31 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Introducing the Wikimedia Affiliates mailing list

This is an update from the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee. Translations are available.

The Wikimedia Affiliations Committee is pleased to introduce the launch of the Wikimedia Affiliates mailing list, which is basically a place for all the affiliates (chapters, thematic organizations, user groups) to discuss issues related to affiliates, make announcements to other affiliates, and collaborate on activities and community-wide events. The idea is to help facilitate the dialogue affiliates across our movement, plus collaborative discussions like community-wide activities, joint edit-a-thons, regional conferences, blog/report posts, or other communications from affiliates.

Each Wikimedia movement affiliate is allocated three spots on the mailing list. All affiliates may contact the Affiliations Committee to request additional spots if needed.

Please find a bit more information on Meta-Wiki and do not hesitate to contact the Affiliations Committee if you have further questions.

Thank you - Wikimedia Affiliations Committee

2015 Affiliations Committee call for candidates

This is an update from the Wikimedia Affiliations Committee. Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!

The main role of the Affiliations Committee is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and advise the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

The committee consists of twelve members, six of whom are selected every twelve months for staggered two-year terms.

Key skills

Being a part of the Affiliations Committee requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We try to get a healthy mix of different skill sets in our members. The key skills and experience that we look for in candidates are:

• Excitement by the challenge of helping to empower groups of volunteers worldwide.
• Willingness to process applications through a set, perhaps bureaucratic process.
• Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliations, and similar questions.
• Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly ~2 hour voice/video meeting.
• International orientation.
• Very good communication skills in English.
• Ability to work and communicate with other languages and cultures.
• Strong understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the WMF.
• Knowledge of different legal systems and experience in community building and organising are a plus.
• Effective communication skills in other languages are a major plus.
• Experience with or in an active affiliate is a major plus.
• Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.

We are looking for people who are not afraid of the workload and are motivated by helping other volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world.

Selection process

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2015 member selection process will include a public review and comment period. All applications received by the committee will be posted on Meta (at Affiliations Committee/Candidates/2015), and the community will be invited to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.

At the end of the public comment period, the applications will be voted on by the members of the committee who are not seeking re-election, taking into account comments put forward by the committee's members, advisors, WMF staff and board liaisons, and the community. A final decision will be made by mid-January 2016, with new members expected to join later that month.

How to apply

If you are interested in joining the committee, please send an application to affcom@lists.wikimedia.org by 31 December 2015. You will get a confirmation that your application was received.

Your application should include the following:

• Your full name
• Your contact information (including e-mail address and username)
• A statement describing your relevant experience, skills, and motivation for joining the committee.

Your statement will be published for community review and feedback, so please do not include any information that you are not comfortable sharing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me and/or the committee as a whole. We are happy to chat or have a phone call with anyone about our work if this helps them decide to apply. Please distribute this call among your networks, and do apply if you are interested!

Best regards,
Carlos Colina
Chair, Affiliations Committee

Uncontrolled spending increases

In my essay at User:Guy Macon/Wikipedia has Cancer I make several proposals.

Whether of not you agree with the essay as a whole, would you be willing to propose and/or support the following?

• Make spending largely transparent, publish a detailed account of what money is being spent on and answer any reasonable questions asking for more details.

• Limit spending increases to no more than inflation plus some percentage (adjusted for any increases in page views). Are you willing to support any limit at all on spending growth, and if so roughly how much? 10%? 20%? 30%?

• Build up our endowment and structure the endowment so that the WMF cannot legally dip into the principal when times get bad.

--Guy Macon (talk) 02:43, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Guy, with regards to your essay I don't agree with the cancer picture and I don't see that WMF's growth is unhealthy. We still have money to bring into the reserve. Spending when we have a good reason to (and when it's covered by your revenue), is exactly what I want the WMF to do. Underspending for several reasons is much more worth a look from my view.

What I agree on is that spending should be made as transparent as possible, and I think there have been made improvements over the years. The question of course always is on the grade of detail and on the actual question you want to answered. Effort and benefit of detailed reports always needs to be in a proper balance. Transparency is a means to an end, so what might be still missing is a common understanding of which data have to be published to serve the WMF, the community and our mission best.

I'm not a friend of general cuts of budgets. This happens with my professional budget regularly and the damage in motivation, understanding and loyalty in the team is much higher than the benefit of "spending less". For me spending should always have a good reason and a projection to be conducted successful, in our case it has to be additionally closely linked to our mission. Your question about the endowment confuses me a bit, since this is exactly what I think the endowment is set up currently and the question was already answered by Lisa a few days ago on a different page. I admit that I might misunderstand your question, please let me know if I missed any key information. Alice Wiegand (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Discussions held

• In late February there was a discussion around how Commons generally sees data being modeled.

• The first discussion on copyright and licensing with Commons was held in March. This was a "high level" discussion, there will be a consultation later this summer about the deeper mapping of copyright and licensing in a structured way.
• In April there was an exercise for GLAM partners in metadata and ontology mapping.
• A discussion about the design for Multilingual Captions on the file page took place in May. You can still review the designs and leave feedback.
• There was an IRC office hour in June to discuss progress so far and future plans.

Wikimania 2018

• Three sessions about Structured Commons are officially scheduled for Wikimania 2018 - Cape Town, South Africa - July 2018.
  • Wikimedia Commons and GLAM needs around the world (Friday 20 July, 10:30 local time)
  • Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons and knowledge equity (Friday 20 July, 14:00 local time)
  • Design challenge workshop: How can multilingual structured metadata bring knowledge equity to Commons? (Friday 20 July, 14:30 local time)
• Structured Data on Commons is also a focus area during the Wikimania 2018 Hackathon. We will, among other things, do 'live' modelling of Wikidata properties for Commons - an offline spin-off of the community consultation taking place on wiki.

Partners and allies

• We are still welcoming (more) staff from GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) to become part of our long-term focus group (phabricator task T174134). You will be kept in the loop of the project, and receive regular small surveys and requests for feedback. Get in touch with Sandra if you're interested - your input in helping to shape this project is highly valued!
• Structured Data on Commons was presented to GLAM audiences during EuropeanaTech 2018 in Rotterdam (15 May 2018) and at the Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek Forum in Berlin (4 June 2018).

Research

Two research projects about Wikimedia Commons are currently ongoing, or in the process of being finished:

1. Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

Development

• Prototypes will be available for Depicts soon.

Stay up to date!

• Follow the Structured Data on Commons project on Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/34/
• Subscribe to this newsletter to receive it on a talk page of your own choice.
• Join the next IRC office hour and ask questions to the team! The date for next quarter will be announced soon.

Structured Data Newsletter - Research link fix

Greetings,

The newsletter omitted two interwiki prefixes, breaking the links on non-meta wikis as you might see above. Here are the correct links:

1. m:Research:Curation workflows on Wikimedia Commons—a project that seeks to understand the current workflows of Commons contributors who curate media (categorize it, delete it, link to it from other projects, etc.).
2. m:Research:Technical needs of external re-users of Commons media—soliciting feedback from individuals and organizations that re-use Commons content outside of Wikimedia projects, in order to understand their current painpoints and unmet needs.

My apologies, I hope you find the corrected links helpful.

Captions in January

The previous message from today says captions will be released in November in the text. January is the correct month. My apologies for the potential confusion. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 20:43, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - file captions coming this week (January 2019)

My apologies if this is a duplicate message for you, it is being sent to multiple lists which you may be signed up for.

Hi all, following up on last month's announcement...

Multilingual file captions will be released this week, on either Wednesday, 9 January or Thursday, 10 January 2019. Captions are a feature to add short, translatable descriptions to files. Here's some links you might want to look follow before the release, if you haven't already:

1. Read over the help page for using captions - I wrote the page on mediawiki.org because captions are available for any MediaWiki user, feel free to host/modify a copy of the page here on Commons.
2. Test out using captions on Beta Commons.
3. Leave feedback about the test on the captions test talk page, if you have anything you'd like to say prior to release.

Additionally, there will be an IRC office hour on Thursday, 10 January with the Structured Data team to talk about file captions, as well as anything else the community may be interested in. Date/time conversion, as well as a link to join, are on Meta.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to seeing those who can make it to the IRC office hour on Thursday. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Structured Data - blogs posted in Wikimedia Space

There are two separate blog entries for Structured Data on Commons posted to Wikimedia Space that are of interest:

• Working with Structured Data on Commons: A Status Report, by Lucas Werkmeister, discusses some ways that editors can work with structured data. Topics include tools that have been written or modified for structured data, in addition to future plans for tools and querying services.
• Structured Data on Commons - A Blog Series, written by me, is a five-part posting that covers the basics of the software and features that were built to make structured data happen. The series is meant to be friendly to those who may have some knowledge of Commons, but may not know much about the structured data project.

I hope these are informative and useful, comments and questions are welcome. All the blogs offer a comment feature, and you can log in with your Wikimedia account using oAuth. I look forward to seeing some posts over there. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 21:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

Advocacy clean up

Thank you for noticing that issue. I'll fix that this week.

The "iteration 2" draft rec. (I mean, the Tunis versions) were published on sub-pages of naming that was, with no reason, different from the naming of the first versions (first "iteration"). At some point, I decided to clean this up (by making a logical distinction between iteration 1 and 2), step by step, working group by working group. Given that we've been focusing on having the 13 recommendations published and having the round of community discussions launched, I simply had to change my priorities. But definitely this shouldn't and won't stay as is. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 18:51, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, Szymon. That's fine, just realized that this is somehow broken. Alice Wiegand (talk) 20:26, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Danke

Hey Alice, danke für deinen Beitrag in der laufenden Strategie-Diskussion. Dein Erfahrungsbericht hat mir sehr geholfen, das Zustandekommen der Empfehlungen besser zu verstehen. Ich bin erstmal bis Sonntag außer Gefecht gesetzt hier, weil am Freitag und Samstag mein eigenes Aufsichtsratstreffen hier in San Francisco stattfindet. Bevor ich mich also ein wenig hier zeitweilig aus der Diskussion zurückziehe, wollte ich nur kurz loswerden, wie sehr ich dein Engagement schätze und wie sehr ich es bewundere, dass Du so aktiv an der Gestaltung der Strategie teilnimmst. Ganz liebe Grüße nach Deutschland, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:43, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

2018-20/Reports; tagging section titles

Hi, I am translating Reports, and came to thank you pushing it for translation. By the way, could you help a translator with limited time window to support wmf? Please kindly tag section/subs titles _separate_ from body text block. That makes it much encouraging to tackle the task, and practically, at least Table Of Contents will show in local languages (not idealistic tho) in case a sub section is long but title could be dealt in two minutes. (; Thank you in advance to squeeze a tiny work into your super packed to-dos. Cheers, domo arigatow. --Omotecho (talk) 07:08, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Hallo Lyzzy,

The InternetArchiveBot team has come up with a new header for its documentation and user pages designed to make important links as easy to find as possible. We use this header on the bot's global user page, and we have it set up to show the labels in your interface language, meaning that the labels will appear in Russian on Russian Wikipedia (unless you override the interface language).

In order for this feature to work, we need translations of those labels. There are only six labels:

• About the Bot
• Report Problem
• Contact Us
• Documentation
• Configure
• Disable Bot

If you know how to say those things in another language, you can help! And your work will make it easier for non-English speakers to use InternetArchiveBot.

(We have since added one more link to the header – "Translate" – translations are appreciated!) This page I am requesting translations for is the "report problem" page for InternetArchiveBot, directing the user to different places depending on the kind of problem they are having. There are a total of 17 terms to translate, consisting of short phrases and sentences. This page is directly linked from the header on InternetArchiveBot's global user page, so your work will likely be seen.

Sunday September 26 SWANniversary Party and All-Affiliates Strategic Meeting

Celebrate our first anniversary with SWAN-shaped desserts!

Join the SWANniversary on September 26 as we mark the first year of the Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network!

We will have the regular All-Affiliates Strategic Meeting, to be followed by a SWANniversary Party in the after hours session, likely through spatialized chat on WorkAdventure.

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas on the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for a future Global Council.

Following up on the August, September, October, November, January, February, March, April, June, and July SWAN meetings, as well as last June's All-Affiliates Brand Meeting, we'll look together at strategic and outreach topics of mutual concern to all affiliates including Movement Charter + Drafting Committee, WMF Board elections, Wikimania 2021, and Grants Regional Committees.

This month we are meeting on Sunday September 26, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for candidates - January 2022

Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!

The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.

Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.

Responsibilities

• Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month

• Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings

• Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.

• Facilitate and support communications

• Affiliate Support and growth

Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members

Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills

Required

• Fluency in English
• Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.
• Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.
• Strong track record of effective collaboration
• International orientation

Relevant for all members

• Public Communications (English writing and speaking skills)
• Skills in other languages are a major plus.
• Understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
• Documentation practices
• Interviewing experience
• Experience with, or in, an active affiliate is a major plus.
• Teamwork: Project and people management skills to coordinate and collaborate with different parties on a shared plan and see it through to completion.
• Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate various solutions, consider multiple interests and points of view, revisit unresolved issues, seek compromise and work and communicate across languages and cultures.

Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2022 and preparing for potential 2022 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict.

Relevant to Affiliate Recognitions

• Administration & Attention to detail
• Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
• Awareness of the affiliates ecosystem and models and understanding of community building, organizational development, and group dynamics

Relevant to Conflict Prevention & Intervention

• Communication skills for active listening, clear instruction and turn-taking.
• Stress Management skills for maintaining patience and positivity
• Emotional intelligence to maintain awareness of emotions of oneself and others to practice empathy, impartiality, and mutual respect.
• Facilitation, negotiation, and mediation skills to guide diverse individuals and groups toward cooperation.
• Ability to work within a team

Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?

We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.

Selection process

As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at January 2022 page. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.

Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.

A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.

How to apply

If you are interested in joining the committee, please:

Step 1. Post your application on the nomination page by 31 January 2022. Your application must include the following information:

1. Your full name and Wikimedia username
2. A statement describing your relevant education, experience, abilities, skills, knowledge, availability, and motivation for joining the committee.

Step 2. Complete the self-assessment survey between January 1, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

• The privacy statement that applies to the survey can be found here.
• NOTE: The survey will take 15 mins. Please do not close your browser. If you need a break, you are advised to keep the browser open. In case of losing the link, please reach out to mkaur-ctrwikimedia.org
• This survey must be completed before Steps 3 & 4, as it will provide more background as to the type of work and expectations of members of AffCom.

Step 3. Answers the following questions:

• NOTE: Questions 1-3 are required for all candidates.

• Question 4 & 5 should be answered by those interested in joining the Recognitions subcommittee.
• Question 6 & 7 should be answered by those interested in joining the Conflicts Intervention subcommittee.
• If you are willing to nominate yourself for both subcommittees, answer all questions.

1. What roles have you served across any Wikimedia projects and affiliates that you think have prepared you for this role?
2. AffCom members need to manage time, confidentiality, conflicts of interest, and diverse situations across the global movement. How do you envision managing these?
3. Members of AffCom serve on one of two subcommittees: Recognitions OR Conflicts Intervention. Which one of these are you most interested in serving on?
4. If you are interested in serving on the Recognitions subcommittee, what do you think makes a group of Wikimedians ready to function together as an affiliate?
5. If you are interested in serving on the Recognitions subcommittee, what do you think are the benefits and responsibilities of functioning as formal affiliates?
6. If you are interested in serving on the Conflicts Intervention subcommittee, please describe your experience working with conflicts resolution.
7. If you are interested in serving on the Conflicts Intervention subcommittee, please describe how you have helped build consensus and support diversity.

Step 4. Once you have completed the above, send an email announcing your application to affcomwikimedia.org before the application deadline.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me and/or the committee as a whole. We are happy to chat or have a webinar call with anyone about our work if this helps them decide to apply. Please distribute this call among your networks, and do apply if you are interested!

I need the help of a translationadmin in moving a page

Dear Lyzzy,

How is your day going? I don't mean to take so much of your time. I raised a little issue on Babylon's Talk and would be so lucky to have you help out. Thank you Danidamiobi (talk) 22:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikimedia Deutschland: Unsere Werte

Sehr geehrte Frau Alice Wiegand, welche Möglichkeiten sehen Sie als neue Präsidiumsvorsitzende von Wikimedia Deutschland, durch Wikimedia Deutschland, dem maßgeblichen Förderverein der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, deren interne Strukturen im Sinne von Unsere Werte zu verändern und zu demokratisieren?

Die Funktionsträger der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, Bürokraten, Administratoren, Mitglieder des sogenannten Schiedsgerichts, üben eine quasi-autokratische Herrschaft aus, deren Entscheidungen faktisch nicht anfechtbar sind. Die Ausübung der freien Meinungsäußerung der ehrenamtlich am Projekt Wikipedia Mitwirkenden wird systematisch unterdrückt. Kritische Textbeiträge werden unter dem Vorwand Vandalismus, persönlicher Angriff (KPA) oder Editwar (z.B. [4]) ohne nachvollziehbare Begründungen entfernt. Kritische Autoren werden mit Schreibverboten belegt, mundtot gemacht und von der Mitarbeit ausgeschlossen. Benutzer, die kritische Autoren unterstützen, werden durch Vandalismusmeldungen eingeschüchtert (z.B. VM wegen des Wiedereinsetzens eines kritischen Artikels im WP-Kurier [5]).

Die Wikipedia:Grundprinzipien werden missachtet, die Wikipedia:Regeln werden willkürlich und einseitig ausgelegt. Gegen die im Grundgesetz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland verankerten Grundrechte wird massiv verstoßen; siehe hierzu: Das Schiedsgericht und die Grundrechte.

  Zitat Lukas Mezger, ehemaliger Präsidiumsvorsitzender von Wikimedia Deutschland, “Wir müssen mehr Widerspruch wagen”:  Wikimedia steht für einen faktenbasierten Diskurs, in dem nach wissenschaftlichen Methoden erarbeitetes und nach journalistischen Grundsätzen recherchiertes Wissen die Grundlage für Entscheidungen ist. ...

Müsste gemäß dieser Aussage von Lukas Mezger eine Entscheidung wie DIESE für null und nichtig erklärt werden?

Diese sogenannte Entscheidung zur Patroziniumsformulierung ist nicht faktenbasiert und nicht nach wissenschaftlichen Methoden erarbeitet, sie wird weder durch Belege (Fachliteratur) gestützt, noch berücksichtigt sie die in der Diskussion hierzu aufgeführten, mit zahlreichen Belegen (Fachliteratur) untermauerten Gegenargumente gegen diese Entscheidung wie HIER, oder hier (Patrozinium), oder hier (Und da wundert sich noch jemand...) etc.

Siehe hierzu: Weil nicht sein kann, was nicht sein darf: Eine wikipedianische Sprachregelung? sowie Diskussion:Kurier.

Diese willkürliche Sprachregelung ist nicht enzyklopädisch und verstößt gegen sämtliche Wikipedia:Grundprinzipien wie

• Wikipedia:Belege: Artikel sollen nur überprüfbare Informationen aus zuverlässigen Veröffentlichungen enthalten.
• Neutralität: Daher sollte das Ziel darin bestehen, eine für alle rational denkenden Beteiligten tolerable Beschreibung zu formulieren.
• Wikipedia:Keine Theoriefindung: Grundsätzlich beruhen Artikel in der Wikipedia auf überprüfbaren Aussagen. Überprüfbar ist, was mithilfe verlässlicher Informationsquellen belegt werden kann. Ob Aussagen wahr sind oder nicht, ist – insbesondere in umstrittenen Fällen – nicht in der Wikipedia zu klären.

Siehe auch:

• Ist die deutschsprachige Wikipedia als rechtsfreier Raum zu tolerieren?
• Brauchen wir Menschen mit Haltung: Licht ins Dunkel der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia? (zur Diskussions-Veranstaltung Wikimedia auf der #rp22: Wir brauchen Menschen mit Haltung!)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen--GFreihalter (talk) 16:37, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hallo @GFreihalter, die verlinkten Werte wurden für den Verein Wikimedia Deutschland entwickelt. Die Wikipedia hat ihre eigenen von der Community entwickelten Strukturen, Prozesse und Regelungen. Ich habe volles Vertrauen in die Instanzen der Wikipedia Community und sehe keinen Anlass, ihre Entscheidungen infrage zu stellen. Alice Wiegand (talk) 13:59, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Zu volles Vertrauen in die Instanzen der Wikipedia Community ? Diese - regelwidrigen - Entscheidungen sind eklatante Verstöße gegen die Wikipedia:Grundprinzipien und Richtlinien und mit rechtsstaatlichen Prinzipien nicht vereinbar:

• Regelwidrige Sperrentscheidung [6] (einmonatige Benutzersperre) - ohne Diskussion und Gelegenheit zur Stellungnahme der Betroffenen - in einer Nacht- und Nebelaktion (nach Vandalismusmeldung am Sonntag-Abend) am Montag-Morgen um 6.55 Uhr erfolgt.
• Regelwidrige Sperrentscheidung [7]:
  • a) Administrieren in eigener Sache während einer laufenden Schiedsgerichtsanfrage [8]: Benutzersperre durch den Administrator, dessen - regelwidrig - verhängte einmonatige Benutzersperre in der laufenden Schiedsgerichtsanfrage überprüft werden sollte.
  • b) Unzutreffender Sperrgrund Editwar: Das ausschließliche, einmalige Enfügen von zwei Zitaten in einen Wikipedia-Artikel [9] aus bereits zwei in diesem Artikel aufgeführten Literaturangaben ist kein Editwar (siehe [4_Sperre_mit_welcher_Begr%C3%BCndung?]).
• Regelwidrige Sperrentscheidung [10] wegen der Wiederholung und Präzisierung meiner Anfrage an das Schiedsgericht ([11]): Erneute Sperre wegen des Vorwurfs des angeblichen persönlichen Angriffs, der eigentlich in der Schiedsgerichtsanfrage überprüft werden sollte. Dies widerspricht Art 103/Grundgesetz für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland: Niemand darf wegen derselben Tat auf Grund der allgemeinen Strafgesetze mehrmals bestraft werden.

Die Frage, ob es sich um einen persönlichen Angriff handelt, wenn man die Behauptungen eines Benutzers als unwahr ([12]: Du verdrehst - wie ich gestern bereits aufgezeigt habe - wieder einmal komplett die Wahrheit!) bezeichnet und mit Links belegt, dass diese Behauptungen nicht der Wahrheit entsprechen, wurde nicht erörtert.

• Regelwidrige Sperrentscheidung [13] aufgrund eines drohenden Verstoßes und eines angeblichen persönlichen Angriffs:
  • Diese Arbeitskopien [14], [15], [16] mit der Vorlage:Temporärkopie stellen keine Urheberrechtsverletzung? dar - laut Email-Auskunft eines Administrators: Löschgrund war vielmehr die drohende Umgehung eines Schiedsgerichtsbeschlusses. Dies widerspricht dem Rechtsprinzip Nulla poena sine culpa.
  • Die höflich formulierte Kritik an der Arbeitsweise eines Benutzers ([17]: eine der vielen unsorgfältig ausgeführten Artikeländerungen) mit Nachweis durch Links ist kein persönlicher Angriff, sonst wäre jegliche kritische Äußerung ein persönlicher Angriff.

Eine höflich formulierte Kritik und der nicht erfolgte (nur angeblich drohende) vermutete Verstoß gegen eine Auflage rechtfertigt keine dreimonatige Benutzersperre - ohne die Möglichkeit der Sperrprüfung und mit Erweiterung des Schreibverbots auf meiner eigenen Benutzer-Diskussionsseite (siehe [18]) wegen meiner Kritik an diesem Edit Halali!. Gegenseitiger Respekt?

  Unsere Werte - Respektvolle Zusammenarbeit: Aufgabe des Vereins ist es, Bedingungen und Räume für alle Beteiligten im Verein und den Wikimedia-Communitys zu schaffen, die eine respektvolle Zusammenarbeit ermöglichen, vor allem wenn Meinungen unterschiedlich sind.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen--GFreihalter (talk) 07:24, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi all!

The community vote of this year's Board Elections are close. As always voter mails will be sent out. To invite as many community members as possible in their native tongue your help is very much appreciated. While there are already plenty of translations we would appreciate you to check for languages still missing and to contribute translations for these.

The mails are short, just a bit about two times 200 words, a few minutes of work.

Your support is very important as it helps communities to learn about the election and to cast their vote.

Best, Denis Barthel (WMF)

Respektvolle Zusammenarbeit

Ich verweise auf Unsere Werte: Respektvolle Zusammenarbeit: Aufgabe des Vereins ist es, Bedingungen und Räume für alle Beteiligten im Verein und den Wikimedia-Communitys zu schaffen, die eine respektvolle Zusammenarbeit ermöglichen, vor allem wenn Meinungen unterschiedlich sind. Der Verein will Respekt im Umgang miteinander vorleben und bewahren. Denn seit ihrer Entstehung lebt die Wikimedia-Bewegung von respektvollen Aushandlungsprozessen zwischen einer Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Stimmen. Erst wenn Beteiligte sich anerkannt fühlen und gegenseitig respektieren, wird eine Zusammenarbeit wirkungsvoll, so dass unsere Bewegung für Freies Wissen gedeiht und wächst.

Sehr geehrte Frau Alice Wiegand, welche Unterstützung bietet WIKIMEDIA Deutschland für Autoren der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, um allen eine respektvolle Zusammenarbeit zu gewähren, wenn die Administratoren und die Mitglieder des Schiedsgerichts der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia ihrer Aufgabe nicht gerecht werden?

• Wenn Autoren durch Falschbehauptungen diffamiert werden?
• Wenn Benutzer, die diffamieren und falsche Behauptungen aufstellen, durch Administratoren und Mitglieder des Schiedsgerichts geschützt werden (siehe hierzu: [19]: Es ist allein schon unglaublich, daß diese, durch Bot geerlte VM gestellt wurde. Aber die Abarbeitung konnte es noch toppen. --(Benutzer:E 09:11, 9. Aug. 2021) ... Wobei ich es zumindest Jakob, ehrlich gesagt, nicht zugetraut hätte, (gezielt?) etwas Wahrheitswidriges zu behaupten, um dann den Hinweis ebendarauf zu melden...--(Benutzer:E 13:00, 9. Aug. 2021)?
• Wenn Administratoren der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia durch regelwidrige Sperren - unter Administrieren in eigener Sache ([20]) - Autoren von der Mitarbeit ausschließen?
• Wenn Administratoren der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia Benutzersperren aufgrund unzutreffender Sperrgründe verhängen (wie Editwar: dies [21] ist kein Editwar; [22]: unzweifelhafte Falschaussage, [23]: erneute wiederholte Falschaussage - dies Sperre Nr. 1 (1. November 2020), Sperre Nr. 2 (21. Februar 2021), Sperre Nr. 3 (9. August 2021), Sperre Nr. 4 (16. Oktober 2021), Sperre Nr. 5 (22. Dezember 2021), Sperre Nr. 6 (22. Dezember 2021) sind sechs Sperren und keine Falschaussage.
• Wenn Benutzer, von Administratoren geschützt, hounding betreiben und Autoren der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia in ihrer Artikelarbeit behindern?
• Wenn (angebliche) Urheberrechtsverletzungen einseitig geahndet werden?

Ist dies eine Urheberrechtsverletzung?, die fast wortgleiche Textübernahme von hier [24] nach hier [25] jedoch nicht? Stellen diese willkürlichen Umformulierungen [26] ein Plagiat dar, zumindest sind es grobe Verstöße gegen Wikipedia:Korrektoren.

Benutzer und Administratroren, die verhindern, dass Autoren die deutschsprachige Wikipedia durch Artikelbeiträge bereichern, sind projektschädigend. Bereits im Jahr 2020 wurde mir eine Mediation in Aussicht gestellt, leider gab es nie einen konkreten Vorschlag dazu.--GFreihalter (talk) 10:57, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
