Hello Wikimedians :-)
The Wikimedia Foundation Support and Safety team, along with the
Anti-Harassment Tools Team, is conducting a survey on the use of the
English Wikipedia Administrator Noticeboard/Incidents to handle conflicts
and harassment.
It’s the first survey of it’s kind and is important information for
deciding on improvements. We are trying to get as many diverse opinions and
voices as possible. In addition to the people that use it often, we need to
hear from people who post on it rarely but read the board frequently.
I want to make sure that you folks in Africa who edit English Wikipedia
know about the survey. And I encourage you to participate if you have some
experience with noticeboard..
Here is the link to sign up and more information it.

Warm regards,
Sydney

Subject: [Wikimania-l] Call for Scholarship Committee, Help wanted for new
applicants and African community
To: Wikimania general list (open subscription) <
wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List <
wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimaniacs,
we are now calling for the Scholarship Committee.
The Scholarship Committee is an important and diverse group of volunteers
who help to run the scholarship program. We encourage people from all
Wikimedia wikis to apply for this position so that the committee can handle
applications in many different languages.
The main duties of the committee members prior to Wikimania 2018 are:
* Participation in periodic online meetings with scholarships program
manager and other committee members.
* Review and edit communications material (e.g. application questions).
* Assistance in determination of scholarship applicant requirements.
* Assurance of due consideration and speedy response time to Wikimania
scholarship applications in multiple languages.
For further information please visit
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Handbook#Scholarships and
https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships.
We are looking for Wikimedians from all over the world, who are:
* fluent in written English and have good communication skills, or can name
local community member(s) who help them with English translations.
* discreet and able to handle confidential applicant information, and
objectively assess candidates.
* willing to review scholarship applications remotely in early 2018,
estimated time is 30 hours. A review guide can be found on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS/Wikimania_scholars/Reviewer%27s_…
.
* having either or both:
** previously attended Wikimania,
** strong knowledge of the cross-project Wikimedia community.
Scholarship Committee members may not apply for a scholarship themselves
but there is a small budget for supporting committee members to attend
Wikimania. Please tell us if you need financial support in case you’ll be
selected.
If you're interested in serving on the Scholarship Committee, please send
us an email to wikimania-scholarships(a)wikimedia.org. If you have any
questions, please don't hesitate to contact us there as well.
Deadline to apply is Sunday, December 10, 2017. The organizers will contact
all candidates and publish the list of scholarship committee members right
afterwards.
Proposed timeline
* Nov 30–Dec 10: Call for Scholarship Committee
* mid-December: Selection of the Scholarship Committee and start of the
submission time
* 5–26 February (estimated time frame): main review time
Before the start of the submission time, we are adapting the application
process to take recent activities more into account than the years before,
as proposed on wikimania-l. On the one hand we want to encourage returning
Wikimania participants to share their knowledge, on the other newcomers to
Wikimania to apply for a scholarship at all. Former scholarship recipients
can help us with the latter by sharing their successful applications on
MetaWiki:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS/Wikimania_scholars#2017_WMF_Wiki….
In case you don’t have your text at hand, you can send us a confirmation
mail to wikimania-scholarships(a)wikimedia.org where you allow us to publish
it for you.
Above all, we want to support African community members with applying for
scholarships. To achieve that, we are especially looking for volunteers who
want help us with encouraging people, assisting with the application form,
finding the right level of presenting one’s activities, etc. Please reach
out to us if you'd like to help.
Many thanks,
David Richfield

Dear Wikimedians
Hello!! Wiki Loves Africa has had amazing entries this year - REMEMBER … THERE ARE STILL 7 DAYS TO ENTER!!
You can view them here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2… <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2…>
It is that time when we are looking for judges across the continent to decide on who takes away the prize money! We have had some amazing judges in the past - but I don’t want to presume they have the time this year.
We are looking for
1. commonists (so, people who have an idea of what the community is about and how it works),
2. notable photographers
Please let me know your thoughts either on-list or off, by the 27th if possible.
thank you!
warmest
Isla

Hi there,
The Wikimedia Foundation Community health initiative’s Anti-Harassment
Tools team is developing a new feature to allow users involved with dispute
resolution to understand the sequence of events between two users in order
to confidently make a decision about how to best resolve a user conduct
dispute.
It is important to hear from a broad range of people who are interested in
the design of the tool, so we hope you join the discussion.
You can read more about the Interactive Timeline here
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_health_initiative_on_Engl…>
and leave comments on the talk page
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Community_health_initiative_on…>
or email me off list. Alternatively, you can join a discussion on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Interactio…>
wiki about the same topic.
