Dear Wikimedians,
We have now published the digest of Wikimedia Clinic #002[1]. If you missed
previous announcements about the Wikimedia Clinic idea, please see its page
on Meta[2].
As announced, it contains a compact summary of the topics discussed,
augmented by links and some follow-up information that was not available
during the call. I invite you to skim the topic list and see if there's
something of interest for you.
Upcoming Wikimedia Clinic calls are:
Call #004 - Sunday(!), June 28th, 17:30 UTC [3]
Call #005 - Wednesday, July 1st, 17:30 UTC [4]
Also, we are experimenting with a Wikimedia Clinic in Spanish! It is still
being scheduled, and I will keep you posted as soon as the date and time
are known. That call will be held primarily in Spanish (everyone is
welcome, of course), and will welcome discussions in Spanish.
Cheers,
Asaf

Subject: Wikimedia Clinic #003 today at 08:00 UTC
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
A quick reminder that we will be having another Wikimedia Clinic open call
today, in about three hours, at 08:00 UTC.
The Wikimedia Clinics calls are open video calls (using Google Meet) where
any active Wikimedian is welcome to attend and ask questions or ask for
advice about whatever Wikimedia-related goal or problem they're working
on.You can also just share what you're working on and invite feedback, even
if you don't have a specific question. Or people can just connect to hang
out, or to offer their own experience to the people asking questions.
It's relaxed and informal. The calls are a Friendly space
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friendly_space_policy>. Attendees are
expected to:
- Listen with patience and respect.
- Share your experience, but remember others' contexts are very diverse,
and may not match yours.
- Be of service.
The Google Meet link is https://meet.google.com/hmb-hfjk-jtk
NOTE: I know the Branding project is still a topic of interest and debate
for many of you. While you are welcome to bring it up during a clinic and
share thoughts with each other, I'm afraid this upcoming call won't have
new information from WMF's side beyond the last communication from the
Board, and those interested in further engagement on the topic would be
able to get more answers on the same general channels on Meta and the
Wikimedia-l mailing list they have already been using. Again, the topic is
not taboo on the Wikimedia Clinic, but I do want to set expectations for
people who may only attend hoping to hear new information about it.
Cheers,
A.

Hi all,
I hope that the Indian community members are aware of the turmoil in the
community which has arisen from the entire process of rebranding initiative
of WMF and its recent updates. I hope many of you have noticed the RfC
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Should_the_Foundation_…>,
brand name proposal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_moveme…>
etc and the widespread opposition this process faced due to several valid
reasons, which were largely ignored in the process. Recently, I guess, all
affiliate contacts got a closed survey link to choose from three
''Wikipedia'' variants as the future brand.
Yesterday, the head of Communications department of WMF published an Executive
statement,
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_moveme…>
where she said the decision of rebranding was already made by the WMF
board. If that is true, the community and affiliates do not have the option
to discuss the necessity of the process or stop the process by raising
their valid concerns.
In this current situation, affiliates are meeting on an emergency basis to
discuss about what is happening and the next course of action from
bottom-up. Details of the meeting can be found here.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/All-Affiliates_Brand_Meeting>
1st call: 21st January, 2020, 8:30 am IST
2nd call: 22nd January, 2020, 00:30 am IST
All affiliates from India are requested to send at least one contact person
or representative to join the meeting.
Regards,
Bodhisattwa
(As a *Wikimedia* *volunteer*)
[P.S. - This post is only for information about the meeting. I do not have
any link with the brand team and the process or WMF.]
Hello,
This post on Wikimedia-l summarises and captures the recent updates and the
journey so far.
Specially, in case we need to know the background and details, the links
shared by Florence in the post below will take through. I'll add some
additional notes to the links (without editing the main post)
1) Link 1 is the main rebranding page, to know more about the rebranding
plan. That's the main page.
2) Link 2 is about an RfC that took place to understand community opinion
on "Should the Foundation call itself Wikimedia?"
3) Now after presenting the main idea (Link 1) and getting community
feedback (link 2 the RfC, and different other channels were used to get
feedback, including 2 workshops at Oslo, and Bangalore, 1 online workshop,
mailing list discussion etc. they, as reported, gathered all feedback and
presented 3 naming conventions. We are in "this" stage now.**** If you have
got a post on your talk page or email asking to fill a survey, or talking
about selecting one of the three naming conventions (Wikipedia network,
Wikipedia movement, and Wiki), that's the naming convention survey. The
naming conventions are presented in Link 3 below.
Link 4 contains YouTube video links, where the ideas were presented in
videos.
**** Actually we are slightly ahead of this stage now, especially after an
Executive Summary was posted on 18 June 2020, you might have noticed
another post on this mailing list yesterday. In this "for your information"
or "let's look back/summarise" post I don't want to include that, as it
will make the timeline more complicated, and will make it more difficult to
follow.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation proposal to call ourselves as
the Wikipedia Network, Wikipedia Movement or simply Wiki
To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi Folks,
There is a proposal initiated by the Wikimedia Foundation to call ourselves
the "Wikipedia Network", "Wikipedia Movement" or simply "Wiki".
I strongly suggest that the Foundation should allocate time & resources
with the Wikimedia community fully involved in *identifying and resolving
the real problem *that brought the idea of creating the brands department.
These include opening communication channels like what was done in our
strategy 2030 process to ask recommendations on how we strengthen the
Wikimedia identity (like having online and offline promotion of the
"Wikimedia" identity)
I was puzzled how this Brand project was not fully integrated in the 2017
and 2018-2020 Movement Strategy Process.
But hey, we can do a counter proposal and offer a better and more
acceptable solution to this.
As shared by the Florence in the other mailing list:
1) if you are not aware of the topic, and arguments behind the
proposition ---->

2) if you would like to read some feedback from the community, check
this :

3) to read the proposals :
