Invitation to share your ideas on Wikimedia’s Innovation Idea Wall edit

Dear @Kizule:

Thank you for being part of our, the Innovation team at Wikimedia Deutschland's, journey in developing a new innovation format for the Movement this far (you can read more about it here:Re-imagining_UNLOCK). As we are moving along with our process, we would love to hear your ideas on how to address the challenges that you have helped us identify – challenges that are keeping us from fostering innovation in our communities.

To facilitate collaborative ideation, we have created an Innovation Idea Wall—a virtual space where you can freely scribble down your ideas whenever you find a moment of inspiration. We believe that by putting together the collective wisdom and creativity of Wikimedians like yourself, we can unlock new possibilities for innovation in our Movement.

To access the Innovation Idea Wall, simply follow this link [1]. You will be directed to our concept board, an online whiteboard, where you will find the instructions on how to get started. We assure you that the process is easy to follow along. In brief, we have formulated some questions that we invite you to brainstorm on – any idea is welcome! Your opinions matter greatly to us, as we firmly believe that Wikimedians possess the firsthand knowledge and expertise needed to identify the necessary improvements in our approach to innovation.

We look forward to watching this Idea Wall grow over the coming weeks. The idea wall will be accessible until July 3rd.

You can watch the livestream here, and ask question via IRC on #wikimedia-office.

Would you please translate VisualEditor/Newsletter/2019/July into your favorite language for me? I'd really appreciate it. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 17:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Can you make a small fix on a translation? edit

Hello

You have recently helped to translate an announcement in Serbian. Thank you for your help!

We have added a date to the text, and we need your help to review it. I should literally take you one minute to change the translation.

Sorry for this last minute request, and thank you for your help!

Story points in Phabricator edit

I saw you asked.

This is briefly documented on mw:Team_Practices_Group/Glossary#Story_points and was briefly discussed at mw:Phabricator/February_2016_upgrade#What_will_our_norms_be_around_Story_Points_on_all_tasks?. It usually matters only for the individual team, see for instance mw:VisualEditor/Backlog_design#Story_points.

If you need to know more, it's probably best to ask on the specific team page's talk. Nemo 07:49, 13 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

SRG edit

I think that you need to take some time to educate yourself about the value of blocking IPs, and IP ranges, etc. prior to reacting like you did in SRG to an LTA. In the end you are making yourself a target of an LTA (feeding the troll) rather than providing useful solutions to the community. A noisy LTA is so very "so what?", our management should not be excessive to the nuisance value.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:20, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

About marking a page for translation edit

Hello Kizule, You have massively marked pages for translation. I would like to thank you for that because the backlog was huge! However you don’t seem to have checked additions before marking them for translation. As translation admins, we should ensure text complies with internationalization guidelines so pages are easily translatable. Regards, Pols12 (talk) 15:07, 31 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

GIPBE removal edit

Hello Kizule, based on the indefinite block placed on you by English Wikipedia, I decided to remove your GIPBE flag, because having a global block exemption is not compatible with being (indefinitely) blocked on an well-estabilished wiki.

Personal Invitation to the Open Innovation Café of Wikimedia Deutschland edit

Hello @Kizule:

This year we are setting out on a journey to build a new format for the Wikimedia Movement, a safe space that will foster innovation and allow members of our community to experiment with and build new ideas for Free Knowledge. This is why we would like to extend a personal invitation to you to join our Open Innovation Café where we want to tell you all about what we are planning and how we would love you to be involved!

We are reaching out to people, affiliate representatives and Wikimedia community members who specifically indicated in some capacity that they are either working on or interested in innovation in the Wikimedia Movement and/or recommendation no. 9 “Innovate in Free Knowledge” of the Movement Strategy 2030. We will be a diverse, international group. The Café will be done in English and will be hosted by us. There is no preparation required, simply drop in as you are.

When and where will the Open Innovation Café take place? We will be running two identical open cafés, so choose the slot and time zone that suits you best:

We look forward to seeing you at the Open Innovation Café and diving deeper into this exciting, pan-Movement endeavor!

--Kannika Thaimai (WMDE) (talk) and Lucia Obst (WMDE) (talk) 15:05, 2 March 2023 (CET). Feel free to reach out to us at unlock@wikimedia.de

Dear @Kizule:, We saw that you were not able to make it to our Open Innovation Café, but we have set up a page on Meta-Wiki documenting our Re-Imagining UNLOCK journey. So be sure to have a look at what we are planning and join any future discussions! In short: We are setting up a new innovation format for the WIkimedia Movement, but we cannot do this on our own!
How can you get involved? We have created a quick 4-question survey (anonymous) that will help us in better understanding the needs and challenges of our Movement in innovating in Free Knowledge. This will form the basis of any new innovation format to take shape in the future. It would be wonderful if you could give us a few minutes of your time as we are grateful for any response.
Many thanks for being a part of this journey. We are also happy to keep you in the loop of any future developments, outcomes of the survey and the next Open Café! Best wishes,--Lucia Obst (WMDE) (talk) 12:44, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Personal Invitation to the Open Innovation Café volume 2 of Wikimedia Deutschland edit

Hello @Kizule:

We asked – you delivered: After asking all our stakeholders for input through our Open Innovation Café volume 1, a survey and interviews, we have collected the research data and compiled some insightful problem statements. These cover the needs and challenges our Movement faces in innovating in Free Knowledge – quite eye-opening!

Join us at our Open Innovation Café volume 2 to hear about what we have found and how we will use these insights in building a new innovation format for the Wikimedia Movement. Maybe some insights will also be helpful in your community work as well?

When and where will the Open Innovation Café take place? We will be running two identical open cafés, so choose the slot and time zone that suits you best:

This will be done in English and is hosted by the Innovation team at Wikimedia Deutschland. There is no requirement for joining, simply drop in as you are. Looking forward to seeing you there! --Lucia Obst (WMDE) (talk) 09:45, 11 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
