by Felix Nartey 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

To commemorate Wikipedia's birthday, we will once again be adding citations to improve the reliability of the platform. This year's 1Lib1Ref campaign however is very different as Wikipedia turns 20; we are celebrating the humans that make Wikipedia possible, highlighting their contributions and commitment to the platform. In view of this we are asking every human out there to join us in the celebration by gifting Wikipedia a citation to make it more reliable, starting from the 15th Jan to 5th Feb 2021! We are adding a new layer of contribution to celebrate the humans that contribute to the success of the platform as part of the Wikipedia20 celebrations. Join the #1Lib1Ref Human Challenge by contributing citations to improve the quality of articles around human rights on Wikipedia and with top contributors receiving swags from the Wikimedia Store.[1] How can I contribute? Add a citation 1. Let the tool suggest a citation needed statements for you, or use the search menu at the bottom to choose a category (Wikipedia's version of a tag) of an article that you have a special expertise in (for example, British novels or Provinces of Afghanistan ). 2. Go to the article, find the statement 3. Click edit in the section header 4. Add the source following the source guidelines 5. Remove the "Citation needed" template (highlight and backspace in Visual Editor, or remove the template which adds that tag (it looks like {{citation needed}} )) 6. Add the hashtag #1lib1ref to your edit summary 7. Save the page. Visit the participate page to learn more.[2] Communicate - Share a post from our communicate and share page.[3] - We will be sharing a post on diff on Friday, as part of the Wikipedia birthday communication, keep an eye out for that. Help organize? If you are from the CEE don’t miss out on the 1Lib1Ref CEE regional competition, contact Gorana Gomirac WMRS (gorana.gomirac(a)vikimedija.org ) and Natalia Szafran-Kozakowska WMPL (natalia.szafran(a)wikimedia.pl ) for more information.[4] You can also find an activity around you as some countries and institutions such as Canada, Israel, France, Spain, AfLIA, etc. are organizing their own activities.[5] If you are organizing, add your event to the 1lib1ref Event Dashboard or your virtual event to digital events list to enable people across the world participate in your activity.[6][7] It is not too late to schedule an event -- the campaign runs through February 5th and in past years organizers have run #1lib1ref events year round or scheduled activities for #1lib1ref May during the January campaign. Remember to add #1Lib1Ref in the edit summary of your contribution to help us track your activity! Happy 20th Birthday!

Movement Strategy - Interim Global Council and other Follow-up Discussions
by Kaarel Vaidla 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Hi everyone, After more than 3 years of movement-wide collaboration, we are putting movement strategy into action. And what a great time to celebrate this accomplishment as we near Wikipedia’s 20th birthday. Quick recap Despite a challenging and unprecedented 2020, we came together to discuss what initiatives from the recommendations should be prioritized in 2021 and began identifying steps to put those initiatives into action. Around 600 people took part in the discussions. The initiatives began emerging first based on priorities from nearly 60 communities, affiliates, and groups <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…> [2]. At the Global Conversations in November, community members from around the world further discussed those priorities to select the most important ones to work on in 2021. Together we identified 8 sets of initiatives <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…> [3] from the recommendations. For more detail, please see the report from November <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…> [4]. At the Global Conversations in December <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…> [5], on wiki, and at community events since, Wikimedians are discussing the next steps for implementing the top initiatives. There is a dedicated discussion space <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…> [3] for each set of initiatives. You can find text and video summaries as well as the interested communities listed. Global Council priority The Movement Strategy team is happy to share plans for finalizing the transition to implementing the movement’s recommendations. From the conversations that took place in small and large communities around the world, it is clear that the Global Council, Movement Charter, and Interim Global Council are top priorities. They are the important first steps to enabling more global decision-making and distributed leadership. Global Conversations for establishing the Interim Global Council will take place on January 23 and 24 — please register early <https://forms.gle/FwEBS5TbA2EPbmFt7> [1]. What’s next The approach for implementation will vary from one initiative to another depending on the contexts and community priorities. At follow-up discussions in January and early February, interested communities and affiliates will come together with different teams from the Wikimedia Foundation to plan the next steps for the 18 months ahead. We have plans to communicate further information on these meetings soon. The Wikimedia Foundation is committed to resourcing the movement’s top priorities, including the Interim Global Council, and the discussions that will help shape them. The path forward for some of the initiatives is clear. Others need further discussions to narrow the scope or to select from different ideas to experiment and learn. How to prepare Conversations are open and ongoing <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…>, so please help to enrich them and express your interest to join follow-up discussions [3]. Join follow-up discussions of your interest with your thoughts and suggestions. We will be communicating the dates and times for the other follow-up discussions very soon. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Support Team with your questions, comments, or ideas at strategy2030{{at}}wikimedia.org On behalf of the Support Team, Kaarel [1] Register for global conversations on the Interim Global Council: https://forms.gle/FwEBS5TbA2EPbmFt7 [2] Map and table of priorities from communities, affiliates and groups: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit… [3] Discussion space for each of the top 8 sets of initiatives: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit… [4] The report from the November Global Conversations: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit… [5] The report from the December Global Conversations: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit… -- Kaarel Vaidla (he/him) Movement Strategy <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/2030> Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

The thousand millionth edit on the English Language Wikipedia
by WereSpielChequers 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

The English Language Wikipedia passed an interesting milestone a few hours ago. The thousand millionth edit was at 1:03 AM this morning https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Death_Breathing&oldid=1000000000 the article on the album Death Breathing was amended by Wikipedian Ser Amantio di Nicolao, one of over 3.9 million edits done by the Wikipedian with the highest edit count other than bots. Pedants may be aware that this is only the thousand million since the move to MediaWiki software and not all of the hundreds of thousands of previous edits have since been reloaded. So if we could work out the true counts since edit one it probably came one, maybe two days earlier. But Death Breathing got the edit with the thousand million counter. Happy editing everyone. WSC

Local partnerships and funding sources towards multilingual Wiki-Smart Humanity
by Фархад Фаткуллин / Farhad Fatkullin 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Dear colleagues, This is 1 to introduce a reworked concept for Wiki-Smart Humanity ([[m:WISH]], https://w.wiki/QGD ) project page 2 to update you on the groundwork in Tatarstan and around Russia for growing local and regional public support for Wikimedia community projects, as well as discussions about funding Outreach and other local activities (since my previous report back in early April https://w.wiki/MFm ) 3 to inform you of the upcoming pilot regional procurement tender initiated by one of our partners as the easiest way for them to incentivize multilingual article creation and improvement regarding important regional phenomena of Tatarstan. Below you will find detailed description of for each point above. Comments would be greatly appreciated. regards, farhad P.S. I am in an uncharted territory, so very grateful to all Russia and international colleagues that help me with listening, advice and ideas. Tatar is a non-dominant language community, though in a much better shape than many others around the world - this opens my eyes to the reality that long-term preservation of currently living human languages (over 7000) and their inherent riches of cultural knowledge would require significantly more effort, funding and attention than needed to have enWP, ruWP, trWP and all others in official state languages of UN member countries (about 50) to describe everything that's currently missing. We are talking about amounts that no fundraising will ever bring - something that can only be achieved by staying true to the powerful Wikimedia Vision and aspiring to win the hearts of our existing and potential volunteers for them to be ready and willing to help us with something much more precious than money. -- Farhad Fatkullin - Фархад Фаткуллин http://sikzn.ru/ Тел.+79274158066 / skype:frhdkazan / Wikipedia:frhdkazan / Wikidata:Q34036417 1) [[m:WISH]] (https://w.wiki/QGD) is community-supported (myself so far) undertaking to collect and chart initiatives that bring us closer to Wikimedia vision: - various initiatives that help making all forms, types and categories of knowledge equally well described in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, - as well as those that help make everyone a Wikimedian. No individual or even a group can give equal attention and priority to everything in the world, but we can chart initiatives that help us to move towards the world where things are more equal. This started as a Meta-page for the project around regions, languages, and different topic-specific initiatives I started in Wikimedia Russia wiki, but Meta offered a great chance to bring together similar initiatives that exist elsewhere. 2) I am in Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan / Russian Federation), so that's where I start with regarding the Russia-regions' specific part of m:WISH - https://w.wiki/WDk My first priority is to make editing Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects something widely respected, so I'm working with institutional partners. Locally I am still in touch with or contacted since last update: * Tatarstan Presidential Administration (description https://w.wiki/WDz ) * Municipality of Kazan (description https://w.wiki/MFH / stats by Wikimedia projects https://w.wiki/JZh in Russian) * Tatarstan Tourism board (description https://w.wiki/WDD / lists https://w.wiki/WDC ) * Tatarstan Investment Promotion Agency (description https://w.wiki/MFL / articles for creation list https://w.wiki/PSU ) and * Tatarstan Ministry for Culture (proposal in Russian https://w.wiki/R7g) Russia's Wikimedians helped me in reaching out to Moscow Trade and Industry Chamber Committee on cross-regional and international cooperation, as well as National Tourism Union - I spoke about Wikimedia opportunities for growing international awareness about regional realities (https://w.wiki/Qht in Russian) at their joint Online meeting on "Tourism post COVID-19" https://mostpp.ru/guilds_news/budet-li-turizm-posle-covid-eksperty-obsudili… - very much interested to see how Tatarstan project will evolve to learn and copy 3) We've advanced most with Tatarstan Investment Development Agency (TIDA) WHY: TIDA has English-speaking staff with global exposure (came across Wikipedia before), the head of the Agency has an MBA from UK, and she happens to know and trust me with interpreting various important events for over 10 years. PARTNERSHIP: * March 19 in-person meeting https://w.wiki/WEP to present the idea https://w.wiki/MFL * Issues discussed - developing articles for creation lists and Wikidata element creation for them first in agency specialization area, then to cover all phenomena of importance in Tatarstan - 3+8 target languages for TIDA - presentations, training session to staff and various stakeholders and WiR-type ongoing consulting - ways to prepare the ground to have targeted Tatarstan Presidential or Government grants to local Wikimedia community, to avoid Wikimedian-in-Residence positions (complicated for TIDA and other agencies) and otherwise available procurement tenders (perceived low efficiency due to too much red tape and legal complexity vs. Wikipedia's strict policy compliance requirements for content) * current Wikidata based multilingual (3+8) priority articles for creation list https://w.wiki/PSU WHERE WE ARE: TIDA will be announcing a pilot public procurement tender for multilingual Wikipedia content creation (at this stage Tatar, Russian, possibly allow for English) any day now. It's expected to be organized at Tatarstan public procurement entity's https://goszakupki.tatarstan.ru/eng/ (CC-BY 4.0) dedicated procurement portal http://portal-zakupok.tatar in line with Russian Federation Public Procurement Law (FZ 44). It's expected to amount for RUB 1 million (USD13900) & open to bidding for by any legal entity or private proprietor that would like to apply. References: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_procurement_in_Russia * Full text of Federal Law 44 Inofficial English translation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Antimonopoly_Service portal - https://en.fas.gov.ru/netcat_files/File/44-FZ%20eng.pdf HOW DID WE GET THERE: 1 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_Map_November_2019_Huge.png - we need to get whole of the map bright and info available in all languages. 2 TIDA is interested to help with Tatarstan, would like to advance with small trial steps, being guided by those with experience and readiness to help them. They are capable and comfortable to organize a procurement contract first, meanwhile observing how others work on topics in the area they feel comfortable with 3 I am keeping Wikimedia Russia informed of all my contacts and progress, so during April 2 Online Meeting https://w.wiki/LsZ WMRU director Vladimir Medeyko https://w.wiki/WFi stated that our partnership or its individual experienced members should take part in TIDA-originated and other similar regional procurement procedures 4 Once TIDA got the approval to initiate procurement (approvals by Tatarstan Ministry of Finance, then Prime Minister, then President of the Republic, May 29, communicate to [wikimedia-ru] Russian-language list https://w.wiki/W7q & English-language Telegram group https://t.me/WikimediaGeneral/15582 ), I inquired with Wikimedia Russia colleagues and identified three respected editors from Russian Wikipedia (that have extensive experience with Paid editing and disclosing COI), who then agreed with my request to take part in the upcoming bidding procedure & provide a detailed response to preliminary request by TIDA: * Anna Biryukova - https://w.wiki/WEZ * Dmitry Erokhin - https://w.wiki/WEa * Dmitry Rozhkov - https://w.wiki/WEb OVERSIGHT I was unable to identify previous Wikimedia experience (and thus templates) for large scale cross-project and multilanguage declaration of Paid Editing & disclosure of possible Conflicts of Interest, as well as providing for Community Oversight of such projects, so I'm trying my best to keep the caravan moving whilst assuring everybody is informed and feels in control. TIDA and others agreed with my request that: 1 / Project is advancing stage-by-stage (first only Russian and Tatar, possibly some English) 2 / We do things publicly, including open statements on mandatory compliance with sourcing and other Wikipedia quality standards in the tendering procedure 3 / I keep Russia & International Wikimedia Community informed at all stages 4 / When preparing tender documentation, TIDA analyses links to specific policies that I provided them with in the project description, experienced Wikipedia editors' comments and other available experience 5 / I don't take part in either preparation or the tendering process to avoid COI as both initiator and an acquaintance of various parties, and my role of impartial communicator (3), 6 / As an interested party (citizen of Kazan, Tatarstan & Russia, as well as project initiator who wants to see this experience then scale globally), I am ready and willing to consult all parties, and open to engaging at the later stages (article analysis, improvement, translation, Wikidata Elements or Commons categorization etc.) MOVING FORWARD * I was informed that Russian Government Procurement Law does NOT allow setting too stringent qualifications for bidding participants, so the process will only set content qualification criteria. Keeping in mind how these can be interpreted by those without any prior Wikipedia experience (let's assume some copyrighting or PR company is willing to bid), I asked our partner to be ready that they might end up with a contractor who is unable to prepare content in line with target language Wikipedia communities' policies, practices and other expectations. TIDA seems to understand this and is willing to mitigate this possible outcome by breaking the process into stages, for necessary improvements to be done at later stages. I also calmed them down that whoever wins the bidding is better be ready to play well, as this case will most likely end up at the radar of Russia's and international Mass media, might be investigated and then forever described in Wikipedia. * I will post the link to this on English-speaking Facebook groups and Telegram channels of Wikimedia movement * I will inform respective Wikipedia language section's Village pumps once procurement contract details are out (Russian and Tatar for certain, possibly English). * Meanwhile, I start hearing similar interest from Tatarstan's Tourism Board (to be continued) -------- Пересылаемое сообщение -------- 30.05.2020, 15:26, "Фархад Фаткуллин / Farhad Fatkullin" <frhd(a)yandex.com>: Dear Richard and WREN colleagues, I have good news to share and a request for comment - one of my counterparts in Tatarstan receiving regional department of finance approval for funding Wikipedia related services via tendering state procurement contract in line with Russian regulations. Details below, grateful for any advice. regards, farhad -- Farhad Fatkullin - Фархад Фаткуллин http://sikzn.ru/ Тел.+79274158066 / skype:frhdkazan / Wikipedia:frhdkazan / Wikidata:Q34036417 We will start with them by making sure that https://w.wiki/SBF list entries (plus a few more Wikidata entities to be created) are equally well developed and sourced in Tatar, Russian and English, after which the intent is to venture into other domains (images, data, etc.) and 8 more languages of initial interest to them. I'm now thinking on how to structure all this in a way that our first engagement with the regional government entity is seen as a mutual success, as this is an important step to get backing of Tatarstan President necessary to have local GLAMs and Education entities more willing to consider cooperation with Wikimedia. In parallel, we are discussing a WiR position for training their staff, organizing events for their local and foreign partners, and moving their investments portal to CC-BY. I seem to be the only experienced local Wikimedian to be both active internationally and proficient in regional language (Tatar), so I am still undecided if I should concentrate on getting local partners happy or, instead of doing the raw writing and sourcing work they are ready to pay for, I better concentrate on making sure global Wikimedia community is comfortable with this activity. I understand that myself and other Wikimedia Russia members serving as eyes to assure material meets Wikipedia and wider Wikimedia principles and policies would be good, with international oversight from outside of Russia likely being an important component as well. On top of this, I am also talking to Tourism, Youth Affairs and Culture departments, as well as Office of the President for their Tatar language related initiatives, was recently invited to join an Advisory Committee on Preservation and Development of Tatar language. -------- Конец пересылаемого сообщения --------

Wikipedia 20 on the radio in Malta
by Toni Sant 11 Jan '21

11 Jan '21

Hello to all - Wikimedia Community Malta is supporting a weekly 60-minute radio series called Vjaġġi Enċiklopediċi (literal trans: Encyclopedic Voyages), which sees the start of season 2 next week. For the program planned for the week of 12 January 2021 we'll be marking Wikipedia's 20th birthday, which as most Wikipedians know is on January 15th. We'd very much like to hear from anyone who is preparing to celebrate Wikipedia's 20th birthday is some way or other. Please contact me directly to arrange a recording (in English and/or in your language) over the coming days. If you prefer, you can also record a brief audio message yourself (in English and/or in your language) and email it to me by Monday 4 January. I know there's a list of events on meta [1] but I'm not sure how to go about spreading the word about this call out for messages from celebration organizers around the world. If I get nothing from this, I'll directly target some of the local even organizers through their user talk pages. Many thanks and happy new year!

Invitation to the Community Resources Grants Strategy Relaunch 2020-2021
by Kassia Echavarri-Queen 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

Dear Friends/Wikimedians, The Community Resources team is reviewing its current grants programs (Annual Plan Grants, Simple Annual Plan Grants, Project Grants and Rapid Grants) to ensure we are aligning with the strategic direction, with a focus on equity and building a thriving movement. The redesign process will take into consideration the Movement Strategy recommendations and discussions around the recommendations. It will integrate direct feedback from applicants and grantees that we have received over the past five years. It will also continue to seek feedback from community members as it is developed. We want to move towards implementing and learning new models for grant programs that will feed into the broader resource allocation discussion of the Global Council. In this redesign process, we are examining: - Our role as a team to support communities and the movement - Our processes: applications, reporting, metrics, and participatory decision-making processes and their alignment with equity - Our programs and understanding of what are the needs we are addressing, and what elements are missing to achieve the strategic direction. We invite all of you to join us on this journey. On the Meta-Wiki page [1], there is an overview and timeline for the grants redesign process. We will host office hours for multiple time zones in January 2021 to answer any questions about the redesign process [2]. In February 2021, we will post a proposal for the new grants strategy. We will invite you to review the proposed ideas. You will be able to provide feedback on proposed grant programs on-wiki and through other channels. Information about participating will be shared on the Meta-Wiki page [1]. When the feedback period is over, the Community Resources team will review all community input and make final adjustments to complete the redesign. In March 2020, the Community Resources team will review and incorporate suggested changes and send a final proposal for endorsement and approval by the leadership of the Wikimedia Foundation. Working together with you is essential so that together we create grant programs that are useful and address real needs for our communities. We look forward to engaging in this next step and to hearing your ideas. On behalf of the Community Resources team, Kassia 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_Strategy_Relaunc… 2. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Resources/Grants_Strategy_Relaunc… -- *Kassia Echavarri-Queen* (She/Her) Director Community Investment Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/> kechavarriqueen(a)wikimedia.org

09 Jan '21

Hi everyone, We are officially one week away from Wikipedia’s 20th birthday! 🎉 Please see below for the latest updates about the celebration and ways to support and participate: Virtual birthday party For Wikipedia's 20th birthday party [1] on 15 January, we'd love to hear from you, highlight your work, and have your help to spread the word. Here is how to get involved: 1. Record a video saying “Happy Birthday” or birthday wishes for Wikipedia in your language for our birthday video montage. You can record and submit a short clip (under 30 seconds) via your phone or computer by going to the Tribute webpage [2]. The deadline to submit a video is 12 January. * 2. If you have a Wikimedia-related fun fact or accomplishment from the movement that you would like us to highlight in the celebration, please add it to the talk page on Meta [3], and we’ll highlight these during the celebration. 3. Invite your followers to the event on social media. Here’s a sample post to adapt for your channels: Happy early 20th birthday to @Wikipedia, the world's largest free online encyclopedia! Join us at their virtual party on Friday, 15 January to celebrate Wikipedia and the people who make it possible. Details: link <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/01/01/you-are-invited-to-wikipedias-20th-bi…> #Wikipedia20 Happy birthday videos to use at your event!

Social media: #Wikipedia20 Visit the updated social media section on Meta [6] for posts to share on your channels before and on 15 January. These are the main things to know: - Please use #Wikipedia20 and tag @Wikipedia in all posts so we can help share them - Before 15 January, we would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about the virtual event [1] - On 15 January, the Wikimedia Foundation will officially begin celebrating Wikipedia Day at 7:00 am UTC [7]. You can see our content plans on Meta. Please retweet and share our posts. - On 15 January, please send Wikipedia a happy birthday message and encourage your followers to do the same. Link to the commemorative website ( 20.wikipedia.org) and include celebratory graphics [8]. - If you would like additional amplification from the Wikimedia and/or Wikipedia social media accounts of materials you are sharing, please complete this form [9] with the relevant details. FYI — paid video promotions The Foundation will also be promoting videos that celebrate the birthday through paid digital media on a variety of non-Wikimedia websites. These will start on 15 January and continue for about four weeks. The plan is to reach existing Wikipedia readers in Nigeria and the United States with the following two goals: 1. To inform them about the Wikimedia movement, broadly defined 2. To increase awareness of the humans that power the Wikimedia sites As a reminder, you can stay up-to-date by watching the Wikipedia 20 discussion page [10], and joining the Facebook group [11] and Telegram group [12].
