UCoC vote notice

From the notice you've been posting around: "We would like to kindly ask you to encourage your staff members to vote." <- I think this statement is quite inappropriate. It's one thing to allow staff to participate, it's quite another to advise people to potentially pressure staffers into doing so. --Yair rand (talk) 21:46, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Yair rand. Thanks for your comment. That line intends to remind affiliates that they can encourage their staff's participation, as they are elegible to vote (it has not been always like that). We understand it's important to encourage everyone to vote and participate, as well as to inform properly on voting criteria, making sure that every elegible wikimedian is aware of their right to cast a vote (no matter how they vote). But I see your point and thus I've shared your concern with the team to check about rephrasing as to clarify meaning. Thank you. TCappelletto (WMF) (talk) 17:14, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia Survey, help for banner translation validation

hello @TCappelletto (WMF)

I contact you because I need help/advise: We are launching a survey of the Wikipedia users in German, Spanish and Portuguease after English, French, Turc, Italian, Ukrainian (the survey is here, if you want to have a look). To do so, we need the banner to be checked and authorized by a translation administrator. The questionnaire in Portuguese has been translated by @Danielly Figueredo The banner is here in Portuguese

Who could help us with the validation of the banner? Could you, by any chance? (if you could also check/validate the Spanish banner*, that would be great; the German has already been reviewed, but maybe not published)
