Hoi Pine, What makes me happy is that scientists are now adding information for their young academy. There are many young scientists organised nationally and internationally and typically they are a member for a set number of years. What makes me really happy is that these orgs are now getting involved; the coverage improves, they are increasincly registered at ORCiD with open/public information. When scientists take a shine to their Scholia, including their co-authors, papers, doctoral advisor we gain a better understanding about contemporary science. These young academies cover any subject and it prevents a bias in our coverage of science.

Hi Pine, I look at it like I look at the Signpost. I find much of it interesting, and usually read it through from end to end. I click on links when they look interesting and I have the time. I am happy to see it exists, but in most cases I do not feel the need to add any comments, because it is cool in itself and usually does not appear to need comment. It is nice to know I can comment, but I generally don’t comment just for the sake of making a noise, but to make some point or find something out that was not clear. Things that make people happy are often uncontroversial and need no clarification, and there is already enough congratulatory noise on this list regarding user groups and new appointments etc Cheers, Peter -----Original Message----- From: Wikimedia-l [mailto:wikimedia-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Pine W Sent: 25 November 2019 10:08 To: Wikimedia Mailing List Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Brief request for advice about "What's making you happy this week?" Hello colleagues, I would like to ask for your advice about one issue with the "What's making you happy this week?" emails. I was hoping that people would frequently comment in the email threads and/or on the talk pages of WMYHTW publications in *The Signpost* to share what is making them happy, in the Wikiverse or elsewhere. However, comments are somewhat rare. I am concerned that some people may feel too intimidated to comment. I understand that communicating in public requires courage, but I believe that people who try to be respectful will have their comments received well by the community if they comment in these threads. Perfection is not a requirement for WMYHTW. Also, I think that public communication becomes easier with practice, and these threads would be good places for people who want to become more experienced with public communication on Wikimedia-l to practice. Is there something else that you think could be done to facilitate participation in WMYHTW? I would appreciate your advice and input.
