Hi all,
in bulletin #45 from Wikimedia Italia I erroneously wrote that Wikidata
project was launched on Italian and Greek Wikipedias. Actually it was
Italian and *Hebrew* Wikipedias: so the text should have read
* Wikidata project was launched on [
> https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Wikidata_%C3%A8_tra…] and Hebrew Wikipedias.

I am sorry for my mistake!
ciao, .mau.
Hello everyone,
on behalf of the Election Committee for the 2013 Steward Elections [1]
and Confirmations [2], I'd like to let you know that the voting phase
has started and I'd like to invite you to take part in electing our
future stewards and confirming our old ones.
Voting will remain open until February 27 2013, 23:59 (UTC).
We are using the same system for the steward elections we used last
year, which involves the following easy steps:
- Click on the big gray vote button on the vote page, a box will appear;
- Select your vote (yes/no/neutral), and write your comments (if you
have any) in the comment box;
- And click "vote" on that box and it will save your vote automatically.
Eligible to vote in the steward elections are all users with:
- an account on Meta (this wiki);
- a global account (or an account on Meta with user page linked to
your main wiki, and a link to your meta account from your home wiki user
page);
- that do not primarily use the account for automated (bot) tasks;
- at least 600 edits before 01 November 2012 (on one wiki, or edits
on unified wikis can be combined);
- at least 50 edits between 01 August 2012 and 31 January 2013 (on
the same wiki as above, or edits on unified wikis can be combined).
If you have any questions, feel free to leave them on the talk page [3]
or poke us on the IRC channel #wikimedia-stewards-elections on freenode.
Please feel free to forward this e-mail to other lists if you think it
useful :)

Hi all,
the new bulletin from Wikimedia Italia (#45) is available.
This time we write about a call for collaborators for our project
Archaeowiki and the upcoming Members' Meeting.
As usual a link has been added to meta, at
Wikimedia_chapters/Reports/Wikimedia_Italia ; raw text of the bulletin
follows below.
ciao, .mau.

==Search for collaborators==
For the project «Archeowiki - new "archaeologists" in Lombardia - virtual
and real paths» we are searching for collaborators. <br />
You might remember that Archeowiki is a project for archaelogisy
alphabetization, aiming to appraise and distribute through Wikipedia with a
Creative Common license the contents created by cultural institutions.
Moreover, we want to engage new categories of people in the fruition of the
lesser known archaelological heritage in Lombardia, both putting online
cultural content and letting people directly see the findings, exploiting
“Wikigite” (wikitrips).
===Who we are searching for===

for 8 collaborators - Company and assistance during "WikiGite" for
"Archeowiki" project]
{{quote|Collaborator must go with the public (general public, school,
"weak" public like elder or disabled people) in the Wikigite. He/she will
assist visitors, answering their questions about Wikipedia, helping them to
retrieve information about the visited collections (e.g., photographs), in
order to be able to improve the articles of Wikipedia about archaeology in
general and the specific collections visited.}}

for 8 collaborators - Wikipedians in residence for "Archeowiki"
project]
{{quote|"Wikipedian in residence" (''WiR'') works in the museums,
interfacing with personnel and the administrator of the collections, easing
the insertion of the digitalized material on Wikipedia; in particular
he/she follows the development of the articles about the institution and
the objects present in its collections. Collaborator also assists the
museum in the relationship with the partners of the project.}}
== Members' Meeting next 2 March ==
