Rexford | google.com/+Nkansahrexford | sent from Smartphone ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Pine W" <wiki.pine(a)gmail.com> Date: Sep 9, 2014 7:58 PM Subject: [Wikitech-l] Individual Engagement Grants Committee recruiting for members To: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <Wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, " wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org" <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Wiki Research-l" <wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, "Individual Engagement Grants Committee" <iegcom(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Dear all, The Individual Engagement Grants Committee is seeking new members. We are diverse, consensus-based committee with members on five continents and a variety of skills. As a group we speak 16 languages and have over 500,000 edits to a variety of Wikimedia sites. We review grant applications twice per year in four categories: Research, Tools (usually software), Online community organizing, and Offline outreach and partnerships. Members may specialize in as few or as many areas as they wish. We look for the following qualifications. This information is taken from our Meta page. Mandatory: 1. Experience with the Wikimedia movement and at least one Wikimedia project <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_projects>. 2. Experience with some aspect of Wikimedia programmatic or project-based work, e.g. editor engagement, WikiProjects or other on-wiki organizing processes, outreach, events, partnerships, research, education, gadget or bot-building, etc. 3. Ability to edit basic wiki-markup (grant proposal discussions are largely conducted on meta-wiki). 4. Reasonable facility with English, for reviewing and discussing grant proposals. 5. In good community- and legal- standing (not currently blocked or banned, involved in allegations of unethical financial behavior, etc). 6. Availability to actively engage in the selection process during the published schedule for that round (time commitment is about 3 hours per week, plus 1 extra day for scoring). Preferable: 1. Experience leading, coordinating, or managing projects with an intended on-wiki or online impact. 2. Experience handling externally provided money and working within budgets, preferably in a non-profit context. 3. Experience applying for grants or working in grants programs (in the Wikimedia, academic, or wider non-profit world). 4. Ability to read and write in multiple languages. Acceptable: 1. Members may apply for an Individual Engagement Grant themselves, but they will recuse themselves from reviewing proposals in the same category as their own during that round. 2. Membership does not conflict with membership in other Wikimedia committees, including the Grant Advisory Committee < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Grants:PEG/Grant_Advisor… > or the Wikimania Scholarships Committee. Please apply at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Committee#ieg-candidates. The close of the application period is September 21. The Committee will review the applications internally and announce new members by early October, coinciding with the start of the public review period for new grant proposals. For the Committee, Pine _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

monitoring articles for delation related to Africa on Wikipedia in English
by Iolanda Pensa 08 Sep '14

08 Sep '14

I have just discovered that there is a page where it is possible to monitor articles for delation related to Africa. you find it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Africa maybe it can be relevant to put this page among your favorite pages or to check it once in a while if you want to provide your opinion. I think people in this mailing list might enrich significantly the discussions related to delation. it is healthy to delate articles which present topics and people that are indeed not notable. but as we know, sometimes you need to have some background knowledge to actually know what is notable and what is not. your contribution in this would be great. thanks, iolanda/iopensa
