Dear all,
I just wanted to let you know that Michael Maggs has taken over from me as
Chair of Wikimedia UK. Michael has served as chair of the Governance
Committee since his election to the Board in June, is a long-serving
Wikimedia Commons bureaucrat, and I am sure he will do an excellent job.
Greyham Dawes continues as Treasurer and Alastair McCapra continues as
Secretary.
Regards,
Chris
Please find below a link announcement for the hire of two Wikipedians in
Community (*).
One candidate is meant to be working in Uganda whilst the other will be
working in Ivory Coast. Positions are for one year
:http://www.wikiafrica.net/call_for_wir_en/
If you know people/media associated to Uganda or Ivory Coast, please
relay the call !
More info about Kumusha:
* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kumusha_Takes_Wiki/en (EN)
* https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kumusha_Takes_Wiki/fr (FR)
(*) After much thinking, we decided to name the people we are looking
for, "WiC" as in Wikipedian in Community rather than Wikipedian in
Residence as previously. Our reasoning was that in most cases, WiR are
typically Wikipedians "planted" in institutional context (Museums,
libraries etc.) whilst we wanted to avoid this situation and get us to
focus on people or communities (already-existing or to-be-created).
Hence the new name.
Thanks
Anthere

The role of "company secretary" was abolished. Alastair remains
Secretary of the Board of Trustees.

Dear Wikimedians,
Here is the monthly report of Wikimedia Argentina for November 2013.
You can read the full report (in Spanish and English) here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Argentina/Reportes/2013-11
Also, the full reports of past months are available at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Argentina/Reportes
1. «Wiki Mundo» classroom in Aulas Creativas
2. Wiki Hackathon
3. Virtual training for teachers
4. Activity in Salta
=== «Wiki Mundo» classroom in Aulas Creativas ===
Within the framework of our educational outreach program, we started to
collaborate with the educational platform Aulas Creativas (Creative
Classrooms in Spanish). This platform, aimed at teachers, consists of a
space to share innovative resources in education. «Wiki Mundo» (Wiki World)
is the first classroom in Latin America and the only space to talk about
wiki culture and resources in education. This collaboration is, as well,
the first to be taken to an end within the new coordination model
established in the last Iberoconf meeting.
In this way, Carmen Alcázar, from Wikimedia Mexico, current coordinator of
Wikimedia Iberoconf; and María Cruz, communications coordinator at
Wikimedia Argentina, are both content editors of this blog. A schedule for
future posts has been created, that involves all the chapters in Latin
America, as far as their educational initiatives are involved. This will
enable us to generate a colourful patchwork of the experiences in the
region.
Aulas Creativas owns a very vast and active audience. The website has over
6,000 unique visitors per month, and the project has 21,000 followers on
Facebook, especially teachers from different places within Hispanic
America. With this action, we expect to widen the audience of our actions
beyond the movement's limits, and also bet on the local integration with a
very concrete project.
=== Wiki Hackathon ===
On Saturday, November 30 and Sunday, December 1, we held the first Wiki
Hackathon, a space where volunteers of the movement offered presentations
on technical aspects involved in the different wiki projects. The crowd
analyzed Wikipedia tools and also offered trainings on Git, Python, PHP,
Bugzilla and Mediawiki installment.
The event was held in the Government Lab, a space for developers that
belongs to the Ministry of Modernization of the Buenos Aires City
Government. 16 people took part of this activity. During the first day, the
participants discussed users and edit metrics, geolocalization of recent
changes and census data from Argentina. These projects were coordinated by
Jonas Augusto and Ignacio Iglesias. Two presentations focused on
introducing newcomers to Wikipedia, directed by Osmar Valdebenito, and
other about Pywikibot and Mediawiki's API, directed by Jonas.
The second day of the hackathon started with the creation of a map of edits
located within the City of Buenos Aires. This allows the location in a
visual timeline where are the most edited articles by neighbourhood, which
is a first step towards georeference for the data hosted in our projects
and its connection with the local reality. A series of improvements were
applied to the Linha do Tempo, a project for metrics implemented on the
Portuguese Wikipedia. The crowd also discussed the need of a bot that
allows to categorize based on another wiki, according to existing
categories. The presentations of the second day were two: an introduction
to Git, coordinated by Patricio Molina, and another one on error
management, coordinated by Dennis Tobar.
=== Virtual training for teachers ===
During the month of November, the Center for Innovation in Technology and
Pedagogy (CITEP), which belongs to the Secretariat for Innovation and
Academic Quality of the University of Buenos Aires, organized a massive
online course oriented for training of teachers in the area of new
technologies and learning teaching practices associated with them. The
course «Technology scenarios: between the real and the possible» had a
participation of about 2,500 Spanish-speaking teachers from around the
world (including territories as far away as Albania or China), of which
approximately 200 were directly involved in all the proposed practical
activities.
As part of this course, one of the weeks was specifically oriented to the
subject of collaborative learning environments, with a strong emphasis on
Wikipedia. For this, it was created a video called "Wikipedia: open and
collaborative construction of content" featuring Patricio Lorente
explaining the main features of Wikipedia to teachers. A video conference
was held on November 27th, with the participation of Juan Sebastian
Quintero (Colombia), Fernando Da Rosa (Uruguay) and Osmar Valdebenito
(Argentina) to discuss the specific activities on Wikipedia conducted in
educational settings; various teachers joined the Hangout and made their
own questions.
Finally, a virtual learning space was opened for editing in Wikipedia.
Through a forum, teachers presented their topics of interest and were
contacted by Wikipedians who acted as tutors, teaching them about various
aspects of Wikipedia, guiding them through the steps of editing and
encouraging them to join the site. Through this real-editing experience,
many people who had never edited in Wikipedia could do it for the first
time.
=== Activity in Salta ===
On November 22, the long-time Wikipedian and member of the WM-AR Board
Esteban Zárate gave a presentation at the 6th Free Software Conference
organized in the city of Salta, by SaltaLUG group. There, Esteban gave a
talk to the attendees about opportunities for Wikipedia as an educative
tool, besides explaining some basic concepts regarding the Free
Encyclopedia and other Wikimedia collaborative projects. This talk is given
under the Federalization project, which has enabled the conduct of
activities in other cities in northern Argentina, as Jujuy and La Rioja.

Hi everyone,
Each year that we run the fundraiser, readers write in really lovely notes.
Please take two minutes to listen to our readers.
Enjoy!
The story I like to tell is that whilst I had heard of Wikipedia but only
looked at it a few times thereafter, when the 2004 Tsunami occurred the day
after Christmas, mainstream news organisations (TV, newspapers) were all
away from their offices. That day I turned to Wikipedia to try to
understand the scale of the event. It was Wiki editors 'on the ground' that
created the sort of information and coverage usually considered the
province of rolling news organisations only. This I now dub my 'Wiki
Epiphany'.
Wikipedia is an amazing service. Almost always, I am able to find
information on subjects I am interested in. Thanks and Kudos to all staff
and volunteers!!
My world has been opened up time and time again by Wikipedia. From studying
Detroit and computer programming to finding unbiased information on
America's history, Wikipedia has been a beacon of free speech and
information for over ten years. Sometimes, I just sit in awe of the fact
that the greatest accomplishment of man was assembled mostly by volunteers,
people who just wanted to make the world a better place.
Its made life easier for me and expanded my knowledge by allowing me to
more easily find trusted and verified information on the internet. It
organizes all the noise out there on the web and gives a great concise to
the point fact summary of what I want to know. Thank you and thank you to
the millions of volunteer editors. Wikipedia is a necessity in my life and
not just a luxury.
Wikipedia is a source of unbiased information. The caveats and notes from
the editors alert to questionable information. The links within the
articles are amazingly helpful and have led me on wonderful information
expeditions.
I'd like to thank the entire staff of wikipedia and its editors for my high
school graduation.
It's impossible to put in words. I cannot imagine Planet Earth without it
[Wikipedia]. It has changed my life forever.
My 17 year old son uses you constantly. You have made him a smarter human
being.
You guys are ^^%$#&* unbelievably awesome, keep it up!
web sites like Wikipedia are invaluable and I felt it my duty to try help
even if only a tad.
so much of the Internet has turned into self serving and unreliable junque;
so I am very, very grateful for the Wiki resource.
I regard "W" as the best and most reliable source of information available
anywhere. I don't know how you do it so please keep on with your Excellence
}i{ < That;s a butterfly for you
This is one of the best things on the internet. It goes back to the
original development of the internet and has remained ethical and true to
its origins. There appears to be no discrimination and it is available to
everyone at no cost.
I am 60 years old and I am still so cruious and interested in so many
things. Wikipedia gives me reasonable information whenever I may want it.
I use wikipedia all the time and credit it more toward my education than
college did!
It's nice to see humanity get together without any external forces for a
common good!
I am inspired by the high quality of Wikipedia and the high ideals of its
founder and its myriad contributors and editors. What a magnificent
collaborative human achievement you are building!
It has simultaneously answered and given me more questions than I can
comprehend.
This represents to me what college should be like. Free and collective
knowledge by and for all.
When I want to know something, I google it and 99% of the time Wikipedia
has what I want to know. Even drinking arguments, about what Biff from Back
to the Future is doing now, are solved by Wikipedia. It's all there.
Without Wikipedia I would be about 30% less intelligent. :(
it is like a gift from the gods of knowledge
I am a teacher and a writer, and I am amazed how often Wikipedia is useful
to me. I consider Wikipedia to be one of the great democratic projects
maybe ever, and it is one of the reasons why I try to stay optimistic about
the world. Thank you.
I honestly feel like the next generation of humans in general, will be much
smarter than the previous because of this site. Well, at least they will
know a whole lot more useless shit. I've heard (don't know for sure if it's
true, doesn't matter) that the bigger a person's brain is, typically, the
smarter that person is. So, if that is true, I think it's likely that
because of this site, in about 50 years, humans will have huge heads. Their
heads will look like the aliens' heads did in "attack from mars." If y'all
ever get into commercials for whatever reason, you could use that and
probably make it really funny :)
It's like that reliable family member or friend who's an expert at
something or the other.
I extend my heartfelt thanks to the men and women who tirelessly work on
keeping Wikipedia the wonderful website it is.
There's nothing you can't find on Wikipedia, I'd be shattered if it was
shut down.
As a computing and communications engineer I imagined an information
resource like Wikipedia before the Internet existed. I'm happy I didn't
have to be the one to build it.
My 72 year old life is easier and more fun. I read a lot and look things up
all the time, and that is now easy. That itself is fun.
It gives me hope and makes me feel connected to an invisible but powerful
community. And it settles lots of arguments before they get out of hand at
the dinner table!!!
My Dad's addicted to Wikipedia. Seriously. I can't think of a single day
I've seen him not go on here at least once. The man craves knowledge, and
one blue link leads to another. Soon enough, he has dozens of tabs open
leading to a million different things. As I hear quite often, I am my
father's daughter. I was in third period US History today reading the page
on Dmitri Kabalevsky during our homework time. I came on here right now to
make sure it would be okay to refer to France as Gallia in the book I'm
attempting to write. I come on here so many times a day, you wouldn't even
believe. I absolutely love the system you all work so hard to run, and I
hope Wikipedia stays online and banner free for dozens of years to come!
You have my full support. :)
100 years ago they said we would have flying cars, instead we got smart
phones with access to almost every book ever written, fair trade.
When i was a kid, I used to watch 'Star Trek". When Captain Kirk had a
question asked Mr. Spock and the computer with female voice. Wikipedia is a
combination of Mr. Spock and Computer.
It was my constant savior through the pitch-black hell that was high school
and has guided me through college and into my career as a nurse.
I have lived in the world without Wikipedia but it was darkish all the time
and I never want to live in our world without it again.
Wikipedia is like a playground for me. I love you for what you do.
It is easy to find reliable or at least semi-reliable information on just
about any person, place, or thing that exists. Even if it's something as
stupid as "white chocolate". The reason I was on wikipedia this evening.
Thank you.
"Look it up" is what our dad always told us when we asked a question, even
if he knew the answer. Back then we ran to the encyclopedia or dictionary;
now it's Wikipedia. Different but the same. And beyond Wikipedia's being a
tool to learn something, it makes me happy to know there are smarties out
there, collaborating in this vital, fluid, living system, spreading
knowledge. Thank you!
I remember researching in the days of microfiche & card catalogs! This is
like having the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, the OED, and so much more
at your fingertips!
I just truly enjoy getting the succinct and straight info without a lot of
bullshit.
I passed my university degree, settled numerous arguments, checked sports
stats, researched my great grandfather and just today found out the
probable origin of sheep farming! The list goes on... and on…
was one of those kids who read the encyclopedia for fun, so Wikipedia took
that to the next level.
Wikipedia is what the internet can be.
I use Wikipedia to live my life.
I, as an ordinary citizen, am able to learn and access information in a way
that would make preeminent scholars of 3000-odd years fall to their knees
and weep with joy and shock.

Hello community,
this is to inform you that in response to the trademarking of the
Wikimedia community logo[1], created in 2006 by Artur “WarX”
Fijałkowski, which was discussed on this mailing list[2] as well as on
Meta[3] back in March, a small group of community members—Artur, myself,
Federico Leva (Nemo) and John Vandenberg—have initiated a formal process
of opposition against the registration of the trademark by the
Foundation in order to *reclaim the logo* for unrestricted use by the
community.
We appreciate the Foundation’s protection of the other trademarks they
have registered so far, including the logos of Wikipedia, Wikisource and
some other sister projects. In the case of the community logo, however,
it is our belief that the Foundation’s actions are exactly opposite to
what the community logo stands for and contradict the purpose behind its
very existence.
We would like to make it clear that it is not our intention to damage
anyone; our actions are a challenge against what we perceive as
unilateral declaration of ownership of an asset that has always belonged
to the wider community, and not to one or another organisation that is
part of the movement. By formally opposing the registration of the
trademark we hope to ensure the history of this logo is not disregarded,
and we wish to protect the community against unnecessary bureaucracy
and, to use another quote, let “groups who do not purport to represent
the WMF”[4] to continue to be able to freely associate with a logo that
has been part of their identity for so long.
We also want to note that this is in no way a legal action against the
Foundation, but a simple notice of opposition against the registration
of the logo in the European Union. If we assume good faith, we can only
be confident that the WMF, having now a formal occasion, will withdraw
its registration of the logo rather than continue using movement
resources to force the community into lengthy, expensive proceedings.
We invite all community members interested in this issue to express
their opinions at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_Logo/Reclaim_the_Logo
If any of you would like to help us in any way (covering the costs of
the opposition, promoting the discussion, etc.), please feel free to
contact us off–list.

Here is notice that this issue has been resolved.
A few days ago Christian Aistleitner patched webstatscollector to filter
bogus requests.
After that I patched the raw data files since last July, substracting all
bogus counts.
