Hi, so Board Election begins soon. As always, I expect your help for translation. You might be need more help, so for recruiting fellow translators, the boilerplate below might be helpful (made by Schiste).

== Hi Wikimedians,

As you might be aware of, now we are holding the Board of Trustee elections.

Those elections are international and the statement will be published on the multi-lingual core project meta. As it's multi-lingual, and as we would like the more Wikimedian possible vote, it's needed for the statements to be translated in as much languages as we can as well [[m:Board elections/2007|Election notice]].

It's a huge amount of work, and we'll need you to give an hand. If you are competent in a language, and you'd like to help, just contact foobar or list yourself on [[m:Board elections/2007/Translations]] and often check [[m:Board elections/2007/Candidates]].

Greetings, == If you like it, please use it (after translation:) on your project discussion page: Village pump, Bistro, Bar, whatsoever .... anyway Ich brauche Hilfe.

Cheers,

Dear all,

We, the election committee, hereby announce the opening of a new election for members of the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees. At least three positions will be filled from this election, with the elected members serving a two year term.

It is important to note that election processes are slightly different this year than in previous years: all candidates should be certain to thoroughly read the FAQ at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/en

From today, June 10th, we're accepting candidates for the Board of Trustees. If you're interested, you must make a candidate statement and list yourself on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Candidates/en

We also need the help or translators for the elections, so if you're fluent in any language other than English, and willing to help, please list yourself here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/Translations

If you have any questions, please first read the FAQ, then list your questions to the talk page: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/FAQ/en

The official announcement is available on Meta: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_elections/2007/en

We are confident that this election will draw very qualified candidates, and we wish them the best of luck.
