Hi Everyone,
As you know Turkey has banned more than 2,5 year Wikipedia Project all
languages. And we contributed through free VPNs in those years.
Andy Mabbett was also our guest speaker during the ban for the Wikidata 6th
Birthday event
<https://uskudar.edu.tr/en/icerik/3354/wikidata-celebrated-the-6-birthday-at-uskudar-university>.
We contacted WMF employees many times.
I hope no one is not badly affected by this situation.
Regards,
*Zafer*
*WMTR*

Hello Andy,
The Foundation is undertaking several initiatives in assisting the
Wikimedia communities in Ukraine and Russia, and in reviewing the potential
impacts that the sanctions will have on the movement. We are not able to
discuss all the specifics without potential risk to those being supported.
What we can disclose is that the Trust and Safety and Human Rights units
of the Foundation are in constant communication with community members in
Ukraine and Russia. Our Disinformation Team on the other hand is actively
collaborating with various communities in monitoring the situation, and in
ensuring that the projects maintain neutrality during these unprecedented
times.
Other emails on this thread have shared valuable ideas of how we can
collectively assist the Wikimedia communities in Ukraine and Russia, and we
are grateful for that. As we continue to monitor the situation, we urge
everyone to report direct threats of harm through our dedicated channel:
emergency(a)wikimedia.org, so that we can evaluate them on an individual
basis and determine the best course of action.
On matters related to disinformation, and specifically pertaining to
Ukraine and Russia, we have set up a dedicated channel and our team can be
reached through drt(a)wikimedia.org.
Best,
Stephen

We share your concern for the ongoing threats to
our community members
in
Ukraine and Russia, as well as our global mission
to share free and open
knowledge. As Ziko just shared, the Foundation issued a statement
earlier
today on the crisis in Ukraine.
I don't think any of us would disagree with the sentiments expressed
there.
But your post does not answer the questions I posed in the original
post in this thread.
