Yes, that is what we are supposed to do and supposed to be good at. Cheers, Peter

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Re: Sanctions against the Russian Federation; support for Ukrainian Wikimedians

 

I agree and I think that the best support is to offer a neutral and complete information against any kind of propaganda.

 

This is what Wikimedia can do better.

 

Kind regards

Thanks for your support! The best "sanctions" WMF can implement is raising awareness about the whole situation. For example, the promotion of Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2022. About Russian Wikipedia: unfortunately, most likely it will get banned in the Federation. More than 70 Russian Wikipedians wrote open letter to us on our village pump where they condemned the invasion, so WMF might support people who signed this letter legally because of possible threats.

 

Best regards,

Renvoy

I wonder if a banner raising awareness regarding the existence of offline apps specifically Kiwix for when communication goes down would be useful?

 

 

We also have Internet in a Box, with instruction on how to build your own here

+1 on the "what can we all do to help?" question. On the VPN topic, I suspect the functionary teams will be pretty open to granting IPBE for folks editing from that region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:IP_block_exemption#Used_for_anonymous_proxy_editing has details if anyone needs it.
