Hello,
This year has been filled with many activities by Wikimedians of the Albanian Language User Group and the Albanian community of Wikipedia, some of which were realized for the first time on Albanian Wikipedia, such as events for gender equality, diversity, and the challenge of writing biographical articles for women.
Below is a link to details of the activities:

Hello all,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Anti-Harassment Tools team is inviting all
Wikimedians to discuss new blocking tools and improvements to existing
blocking tools
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Blocking_tools_…>
in December 2017 for development work in early 2018.
*Other ways that you can help*
*Spread the word that the consultation is happening; this is an important
discussion for making decisions about improving the blocking tools.
*Help with translation.
*If you know of current or previous discussions about blocking tools that
happened on your wiki, share the links
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Blocking_tools_…>
.
*Help summarize the discussion and share back to your wiki.

For the Anti-Harassment Tools team,

Hello everyone,
The Independent Auditors’ Report of the Wikimedia Foundation for the fiscal
year ending 30 June 2017 is now available at: http://wikimediafoundation.
org/wiki/Financial_reports
We have also posted on Meta-Wiki answers to frequently asked questions
(“FAQ”) about the Independent Auditors’ Report: https://meta.wikimedia.org/
wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_reports/Financial/Audits/2016-
2017_-_frequently_asked_questions
The audit is conducted annually by an independent third-party audit firm
(KPMG) as a part of our financial oversight, and provides an overview of
basic information about the organization's financial position and its
financial activities. This Independent Auditors’ Report has been approved
by the Wikimedia Foundation Audit Committee -- a board subcommittee -- and
presented to the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees for their review.
Please contact us via email if you have any questions.
Saludos,
Jaime Villagomez
