Instagram and Creative Commons
by Andrea Zanni 27 Nov '22

Dear all, a doubt: is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons? Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for WLM)? Please consider that I'm not suggesting Instagram pics are good for WLM (they are filtered and all, probably not very suitable for illustrating monuments on Wikipedia) but is a legal matter. Aubrey

[WLM announce] Submission Form
by Erina Mukuta 24 Dec '20

24 Dec '20

Hi everyone! As you may be aware, the deadline to submit national nominees to the international process is by the end of December. In previous years, this all happened via email. In order to minimize the possibility for mistakes and improve reliability of this process, I would like to ask you to fill a form with your nominees. This will generate an email to both a jury member, and an organizer. Both will be asked to confirm the correctness of this overview by responding to that email. The link will be sent to the organizers ON REQUEST. Please have the main organizer email Erina (me) for this. Thank you again for this effort! I'm looking forward to a lot of exciting submissions this year. Best regards, -- *Erina Mukuta*International Jury Coordinator _______________________________________________ WLM-Announce mailing list WLM-Announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce

New online learning courses on Building Partnerships and Identifying and Addressing Harassment
by Cassie Casares 15 Dec '20

15 Dec '20

Hello all, The Community Development <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development> team at the Wikimedia Foundation is launching the WikiLearn (Online Learning Pilot) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development/WikiLearn>, a capacity-building project. This project will deliver two courses over an 8-week period that will begin on February 1, 2021. Courses are free to take part in and will be hosted on Moodle <https://moodle.com/>. During this pilot project, each course will be taught, and assignments are to be prepared, in English. At the end of the pilot, we will be making course materials available for anyone interested in self-study, and for translation. The two courses we will be launching on February 1, 2021, are: 1. Identifying and Addressing Harassment <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development/WikiLearn/Identifying…>: This course will focus on developing skills that will help volunteers respond to on- and off-wiki harassment. - This course will combine scheduled sessions and independent study. The weekly commitment of this course is 2-3 hours per week. - Target Audience: Volunteers with administrator or other advanced user rights. 1. Partnership Building: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Development/WikiLearn/Partnership…> This intensive course will provide an in-depth curriculum on how to develop meaningful programmatic and organizational partnerships within the movement and with external partners. - This course will consist of scheduled sessions and individual assignments with a weekly total commitment of up to 6 hours. - Target Audience: Volunteers with intermediate-level experience contributing to Wikimedia projects and beginner-level experience with building partners with Non-Wikimedia groups and organizations. To ensure our small team can provide each learner individual support, we are limiting each course in this pilot to 40 participants. We ask that all interested applicants commit to attending weekly for the full course. All efforts will be made to ensure that scheduled sessions are time-zone friendly to the greatest number of enrolled participants. However, with the wide distribution of volunteers, that may not always be possible. Key Dates: - Applications open Today (December 15, 2020) and will close on January 14, 2021. - Successful applicants will be notified on January 18, 2021. - The first session for each course will be held on February 1, 2021. To Take Part in the Online Learning Pilot: To participate in the Partnership Building online course, fill out this application form <https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cYEpR0q2CoodQTX>. To participate in the Identifying and Addressing Harassment Online course, fill out this application form <https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e99EaQJPKUlhwDX>.
