Dear Community,
I hope this email finds you well and that you don’t mind me reaching out.
I’m Valentina from the Global Advocacy team at WMF. I’m working with
Costanza, our Anti-Disinformation Strategy Lead, to help Wikimedians
counter disinformation. We’re reaching out to learn about your experience.
If you are working on disinformation or have combated disinformation on any
Wikimedia project in the past, we want to learn from you. This
conversation would be part of a larger project.
Context: We’re speaking with volunteers and community members to understand
what initiatives, activities, and tools you may have already deployed to
counter disinformation. We want to crowdsource best practices and help you
amplify them so that they can be helpful to other members of our community.
The goal is to create a public map
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/08/09/help-wikimedia-counter-disinformation/>
of existing activities and tools, and in the process to better understand
what each community needs and how we can support and connect.
If you have experience with disinformation across Wikimedia platforms,
would you have 30 minutes in the next two weeks to speak with us?
Please extend this invitation to anyone in your network, or let us know if
there’s someone else you think we should contact.
Looking forward to scheduling time to talk,
Valentina
