Dear Aotearoa New Zealand Wikimedians,
The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>
is requesting comments regarding the *Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines
for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC)*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>.
This review period will be open from *8 September 2022 until 8 October
2022.*
The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input
gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as
well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are
focused on the following four areas:
1. To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
2. To simplify the language for more accessible translation and
comprehension by non-experts;
3. To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
4. To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by *8
October 2022*. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further
revising the guidelines based on community input. You can find the Revised
Guidelines on Meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>,
and a comparison page in some languages.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome
comments in any language on the Revised Enforcement Guidelines talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Universal_Code_of_C…>.
Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local
discussions, or during conversation hours.
There are a series of *conversation hours*
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>
planned about the Revised Enforcement Guidelines. We will host an
Asia-Pacific time zone-friendly conversation hour on *Friday, 16 September,
10:00 UTC*. Live interpretation in *Chinese* and *Japanese* will be
provided.
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large
number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your
community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in
setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented
to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published
here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduc…>.
On behalf of the UCoC Project Team,
Ramzy

Dear Wikimedians,
The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members
to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.
The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021
Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be
successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase
outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017.
Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were
represented in the election.
But a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 produced voters in
the 2021 election. Can you help change the participation?
Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
- Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in
community channels
- Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and
questions
Volunteers should:
- Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
- Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a
neutral manner
Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is
represented in the vote? Sign up here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy_and_Go…>
to receive updates. You can use the talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Movement_Strategy_a…>
for questions about translation.
Best regards,
Ramzy

Hi all,
Some big news: Te Papa have released 30,000 high resolution images
under either a no known copyright or CC-BY-NC-ND licence
13,000 have the CC licence;17,000 are public domain.
While there are obviously some issues with the more restrictive
licence, I think this is an extremely positive step. Coupled with last
week's NLNZ announcement and some other work around releasing WW1
images, the NZ heritage sector is making massive strides towards
openness.
Adrian Kingston has written a blog about this:

Cheers,

The examples include 24 hour Wikipedia editing drive...
I dont think anyone has ever done a 24-hour editing drive.
Ive been thinking about a wikidata editathon, where competitors edit as
many times as possible in a fixed period of time,. And/Or a minimum number
of edits per hour, and the winner is whoever keeps editing for the longests
number of hours.
Ideally it is done in a monitored environment in order to allow a Guiness
record to be established.

Subject: [Gendergap] Wiki New Zealand
To: Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects
<gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
A lady down under has started her own "Wikipedia about New Zealand".
http://www.hawkesbay.co.nz/general-stories-page:/52063-a-new-wikipedia-abou…
---o0o---
Wiki web to satisfy Kiwi curiosity
If knowledge is power then Lillian Grace's new website -
WikiNewZealand.org - will put power in the hands of ordinary Kiwis.
The concept - which is supported by crowd funding - was seeded a year
ago when the former New Zealand Institute research associate and
physical education teacher sat down under a Hawke's Bay tree to think
out her next hobby. She came up with a Kiwi version of Wikipedia.
Grace hopes her not-for-profit hub of information - mostly data and
statistics represented as graphs and infographics - will, like the
globally recognised online encyclopedia, become a universal resource
for students, business people, politicians and ordinary citizens
alike.
The data on Wiki New Zealand won't be coloured by ideological
viewpoints, or undergo endless revisions, as occurs on Wikipedia; its
main aim is to be an unfettered source of information for rational
debate, whether it is used to settle a bar bet or to inform a
submission to a select committee.

Dear Wikimaniacs,
We are now calling for a scholarship review committee.
The scholarship review committee is an important and diverse group of
volunteers who help to run the scholarship program.
The main duties of the committee members prior to Wikimania 2013 are:
* Assistance in determination of scholarship applicant requirements.
* Assurance of due consideration and speedy response time to Wikimania
scholarship applications.
* Work with the local team.
We are looking for Wikimedians from all over the world, who are:
* Fluent in written English.
* Good communication skills.
* Discretion and ability to handle confidential applicant information,
and objectively assess candidates.
* Willing to review scholarship applicants in early 2013.
* Either:
** Prior attendance at Wikimania.
** Strong knowledge of cross-project Wikimedia community.
You will be working remotely. While we hope that scholarship review
committee members will enjoy Wikimania 2013 by giving significant
input to it, the local team cannot guarantee financial support for the
committee members' travel expenses.
If you're interested to serve on the scholarship reviewing committee,
please send us an email at wikimania(a)wikimedia.hk . If you have any
queries, please don't hesitate to ask us.
Deadline to apply is Tuesday, December 11, 2012.
The local team will contact all candidates between November and
January; the list of scholarship committee members will be announced
in January.
Yours sincerely,
Simon Shek
Community coordinator, Wikimania 2013 / Wikimedia Hong Kong

The Australian Paralympic Committee has provided ~650 images to
Wikimedia Australia that need to be uploaded to Commons.
They are broken into four sets and they are now hosted on our server.
663,512 Mb - New Atlanta scans 1 of 3 - 207 photographs
480,108 Mb - New Atlanta scans 2 of 3 - 156 photographs
470,000 Mb - New Atlanta scans 3 of 3 - 142 photographs
531,828 Mb - New Barcelona scans - 140 photographs
If anyone is able to download zip files that big, and reupload the
images to Commons, let me know and I'll give you the URL of one set to
download.
These uploads count under the Kickstart grant, ...
http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Proposal:Camera_equipment_program#Kickstar…
but be warned that the photos are often unidentified people, so it may
be hard to categorise without doing a lot of research ;-)
In which case you may be interested in joining the hopau mailing list
and the Wikipedians to the Games program.

Is anyone planning to attend either event? They seem like they could
be really useful for networking in connection to Wikipedia related
GLAM projects. Beyond that,
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/User:Stuartyeates is a
Kiwi Wikimedian involved in the GLAM sector of there. He is
presenting at I believe the first conference. If anyone has any
suggestions or materials that he could use related to the GLAM project
on Wikipedia, please leave him a text message. He asked for a few on
IRC and I have a hard time finding easy to use how and why GLAM pages.

Subject: [wmau:members] Auckland meetup
To: Wikimedia-au <wikimediaau-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, members(a)wikimedia.org.au
I wanted to thank Wikimedia Australia for sponsoring the Auckland
meetup. Some brief notes from the session can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland_6
In talking with them, I told them about Wikimedia Australia, what the
advantages are for having a national chapters, and what Wikimedia
Australia might be willing to do to help them. My assumptions were
generally that our chapter could help provide some logistical support
and help them with credibility. There are some people in the country
who are interested in talking to organisations about doing something
similar to what the Queensland State Library did. As an individual
editor, they just do not have much credibility. If the individual is
willing to do most of the legwork, Wikimedia Australia may be willing
to help give them a name for credibility's sake. Beyond that, if they
are interested in creating a national chapter and have several people
dedicated to wanting to do that, then help could be provided in trying
to help establish a national chapter. (Which might be the focus of a
one day RCC should it happen or possibly for an independent workshop
with the vested parties to meet to establish that.)
One random idea that came up is the issue of hansard in New Zealand.
One of the Kiwis said they didn't believe it was copyrighted. If that
is true, it might be interesting to see if that couldn't be entered on
to Wikisource.
It was also interesting to discuss issues like political pictures and
editing issues for political people articles.
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
