Dear community members,
I would like to inform you all about the upcoming annual Wikimedia
Foundation fundraising campaign in India.
The fundraising campaign will have two components.
1.
We will send emails to people who have previously donated from India.
The emails are scheduled to be sent between the 2nd of May and the 1st
of June.
2.
We will run banners for non-logged in users in India on English
Wikipedia itself. The banners will run from the 30th of May until the
27th of June.
Prior to this, we are planning to run some tests in April and May, so you
might see banners for 3-5 hours a couple of times before the campaign
starts. This activity will ensure that our technical infrastructure works.
I will be in touch again in the next few weeks, to share with you a community
engagement page where we will outline more detail around the campaign,
share some banner examples, and give you space to engage with the
fundraising campaign.
I will also be hosting a community call during April (date to be confirmed)
to which you can bring your questions and suggestions.
Generally, before and during the campaign, you can contact us:
-
On the talk page of the fundraising team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising>
-
If you need to report a bug or technical issue, please create a
phabricator ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?template=1188…>
-
If you see a donor on a talk page, VRT
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Volunteer_Response_Team> or
social media having difficulties in donating, please refer them to

Thanks you and regards,
Julia

Hello all, an important update on the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines:
The vote on the Enforcement Guidelines in January 2023 showed a majority
approval of the Enforcement Guidelines. There were 369 comments received
and a detailed summary of the comments will be published shortly. Just over
three-thousand (3097) voters voted and 76% approved of the Enforcement
Guidelines. You can view the *vote statistics on Meta-wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>*
.
As the support increased, this signifies to the Board that the current
version has addressed some of the issues indicated during the last review
in 2022. The Board of Trustees voted to ratify the Enforcement Guidelines.
The resolution can be found on Foundation Wiki
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Approval_of_Universal_Code…>
and
you can read more about the process behind the 2023 Enforcement Guidelines
review on Diff
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/21/the-enforcement-guidelines-received-s…>
.
There are some next steps to take with the important recommendations
provided by the Enforcement Guidelines. More details will come soon about
timelines. Thank you for your interest and participation.
