Budget proposal
by Mikael Häggström 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hello WikiJournal participants, Please have a look to check if any further changes are needed for the budget proposal for 2019: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal_2019 Also, please endorse at the bottom if you think it is alright. I will submit it to the grant committee when we feel it is ready. We still have the funds for social media outreach. Perhaps after we've hired a technical editor I may get time to join in creating online posts to promote. Best regards, Mikael

A quote
by Dr. Diptanshu Das 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

In context of a happening in the recent past, I feel the following quote <https://www.facebook.com/tarabrach/posts/215611995178239?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.…> may bear some context to the participants of WikiJournal. [image: image.png] "Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a small dog sitting by a tree. As you approach, it suddenly lunges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Immediately your mood shifts from anger to concern: You see that the dog’s aggression is coming from vulnerability and pain. This applies to all of us. When we behave in hurtful ways, it is because we are caught in some kind of painful trap. The more we look through the eyes of wisdom at ourselves and each other, the more we cultivate a compassionate heart." -Tara Brach <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_Brach>, "True Refuge <https://www.tarabrach.com/truerefuge/>" I can only hope that the board members of the respective WikiJournals be wise. This is especially relevant to people who deal with issues pertaining to equality and/or empowerment of certain minorities. It can be awefully problematic if they lack such wisdom.

Re: [WikiJournal-en] About publishing a Wikipedia review in Wiki J Hum
by Houcemeddine A. Turki 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Dear Mr., I thank you for your answer. I already contacted two years ago the authors who have made more than 10 edits. Only five authors accepted to provide their names: Csisc, Drmaik, GeekEmad, Tounsimentounes, and Omar-toons. So, we do not any problem regarding this. However, before submitting the work, we should adjust it on Wikipedia. In fact, we found many additional information about Tunisian and we would like to add them to Wikipedia. I ask if we can do that on Wikipedia and then just send the final edition of the work for review. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki -------- Message d'origine -------- De : "Dr. Diptanshu Das" <das.diptanshu(a)gmail.com> Date : 07/10/2018 07:17 (GMT+01:00) À : "WikiJournal (currently at Wikiversity)" <wikijournal-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc : wikijhum(a)googlegroups.com Objet : Re: [WikiJournal-en] About publishing a Wikipedia review in Wiki J Hum Dear Mr. Turki My response is independent of what the WikiJHum board members would have to say. Firstly, I would like to congratulate you for the great work that you have done and are still doing. I assume that getting the article developed further in accordance to the peer review (following submission) would additionally make it eligible for consideration as a Good article on Wikipedia. You can definitely submit a particular version of the article (assumably the latest one at submission) for publication in WikiJHum. Please go through the instructions for authors<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Humanities/Publishing> and make a submission<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Humanities/Submission>. Please note that you would need to sign the authorship declaration form and also share credits with all the authors who have been contributing to the article since 2004<https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Tunisian_Arabic>. Also consider whether you want to consider publication using real names or Wikipedia usernames (pseudonym). Note to the board members: You could: * Prepare a list of prospective B class articles which could be candidates for submission in WikiJHum. * Look up the list of contributing authors and whether there are a few significant primary contributors who can be approached through their talk pages or through the email facility that might be available. * Based on the response from the contributing authors you can go ahead with the publication process. Additionally, * Sometimes back I had proposed that the participants of respective wikiprojects (a preliminary list was submitted as well) be contacted either through the talk pages of the WikiProjects or individual talk pages of the users, as applicable. No eagerness for the same has been displayed in this regard over the last few months. * I had urged for a list of template messages to be prepared for the above purpose. No eagerness for the same has been displayed in this regard over the last few months. I assume that the WikiJHum board will have to take a pro-active role as the number of submissions<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Humanities/Potential_upcomin…> in WikiJHum is limited as of now.

Reviewing Wikipedia articles through WikiJMed
by Dr. Diptanshu Das 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Dear James, Can you please coordinate with Mikael, GM and Thomas and prepare a list of medicine related Wikipedia articles which would benefit from getting reviewed through the peer review process of WikiJMed. The list can be shortlisted from - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:B-Class_medicine_articles which currently contains 2142 articles. - https://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Medici… currently containing 42 articles - https://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Medici… containing 314 articles After shortlisting the articles the primary authors can be contacted and invited to submit the same to WikiJMed. I assume that getting such articles reviewed and accordingly updated would make them qualify for the GA (Good Article) status and would thus enhance the Wikipedia movement as well. Meanwhile, we are still short of the 40 article mark to be eligible to apply for pubmed listing. So, getting articles submitted should be a priority. I hope that other board members would surely like to help in the process. Regards Diptanshu Please do not print this e-mail unless you really need to.

Twitter Account verification
by Dr. Diptanshu Das 08 Oct '18

08 Oct '18

Dear Mikael and other EiCs, Till now none of the official Twitter accounts of the respective WikiJournals @WikiJMed @WikiJSci @WikiJHum do not have the verified blue tick as in case of @Wikimedia account. It has been suggested earlier that we get the blue tick. On 22 Jul 2018 I had suggested the methodology needed for the same. I repeat it here. For a twitter account to be verified you need to add the birth date (foundation date) as on the registration document, and then leave a note on Twitter Verified (@verified) page. They will evaluate, contact via the given mobile number and email and the person has to provide the registration document when asked for. So, the document(s) would need to be made pre-available with the person handling the respective email account and phone number that has been listed for the given accounts, before the application is made. I would urge you to get that done. This is important. A verified sign (blue tick) imparts credibility and it would be useful to get that for the WikiJournals. Regards Diptanshu Please do not print this e-mail unless you really need to.

Hi I have taken the liberty to post on the facebook page of WikiJMed <https://www.facebook.com/WikiJMed/> about the recent interview <https://wikimediafoundation.org/2018/09/24/wikijournal-interview/> post at https://www.facebook.com/WikiJMed/posts/1949742395107574 Requesting Gwinyai to tweet the same and other members to like and share. Also feel free to update the article WikiJournal - A new form of open access publishing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bGaW9ROEmP8S2jE-TOAwmdT9Czr3iU45bICLu1b…>. The abstract for the same <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324888576_WikiJournal_-_A_new_form…> has been published. But the original article has not been published anywhere yet and can easily be updated and published elsewhere. I would urge the board members to discuss potential avenues of making use of the article for promotion of WikiJournals. Regards Diptanshu Former Editorial Board member, WikiJournal of Medicine N.B. > No discussion about my removal from the position of admin of the facebook has taken place as a part of any discussion. The current bylaws of the journal does not mention the eligibility criteria of being an admin of social media profiles. Mikael may feel free to update the bylaws in case he feels justified.

About publishing a Wikipedia review in Wiki J Hum
