Subject: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Security Notification: Malware creating
fake Wikipedia donation banner
To: <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <
wikitech-ambassadors(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello,
In order to keep the community informed of threats against Wikimedia
projects and users, the Wikimedia Security team has some information to
share.
Malware installed via pirated contented downloaded from sites such as the
Pirate Bay can cause web browsers compromised by the malware to create a
fake donation banner for Wikipedia users. While the actual malware is not
installed or distributed via Wikipedia, unaware visitors may be confused or
tricked by it's activities.
The malware seeks to trick visitors to Wikipedia by looking like a
legitimate Wikipedia banner asking for donations. Once the user clicks on
the banner, they are then taken to a portal that leads them to transfer
money to a fraudulent bitcoin account that is not controlled by the
Foundation.
The current version of this malware is only infecting Microsoft Windows
users at the time of this notification. To date, the number of people
affected is small. The fraudulent accounts have taken approximately $700
from infected users. However, we strongly encourage all users to use and
update their antivirus software.
Additional details and a screenshot of the fake donation banner on can be
found at Bleepingcomputer.com. [0]

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] Revamping the Indic Language Help Desk
To: Wikimedia India Community list <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi everyone,
During Wiki Advance Training 2018 at Ranchi we realized the importance and
necessity of having a central desk for Indian languages Wikimedia projects
and following the same, a few interested members started working on it. As
all of us have some common issues and agendas, we need a common platform to
share our opinions, discuss ideas and needs like planning a National event,
framing policies (Good Article, DYK, Referencing, etc.). As this will be a
common portal for the Indian communities, we all would be able to
cumulatively work on ideas, policies and issues. But before starting the
process, we need some inputs, suggestions or feedback from the fellow
Wikimedians on the same. We would like to expand it beyond just a
discussion, and we have some suggestions for the same, which are proposed
at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Indic_Language_Help_Desk#Revamping_the…
.
Please follow the given link and feel free to give your suggestions. If you
have any queries, please feel free to contact Me, Krishna, Sushant and
Jinoy.
Regards,
Manavpreet Kaur

Hello everyone,
As it is said, "A picture is worth a thousand words but vector
illustrations are even better", [Attribution
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2016/Submissions/A_pic…>].
I am delighted to announce the "SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India".
SVG Translation Campaign 2019 in India is a planned 38-day long campaign to
translate the English-labelled SVG files into Indian languages for use on
regional language Wikipedias. During Wikigraphists Bootcamp in September
2018
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/KCVelaga/Wikigraphists_Bo…>,
we had several Wikimedians from India who were trained on using Inkscape
and other tools, to create vector illustrations (SVG is a file format for
vector graphics, like JPG for raster graphics). This campaign is a
follow-up of that project and also with a goal to promote the idea of
vector graphics among the larger Indian community. Often, we see
English-labelled SVG files being used on Indian Wikipedias, this campaign
also helps us to have localised SVG files with labels in regional languages
to be used on Wikipedias.
More about the campaign can be seen at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…,
where all the required material to understand about vector graphics and
SVGs is already listed. There will be campaign specific tutorials for the
campaign posted soon at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…
.
This message is to notify the community about the planned campaign, more
details to follow soon. The campaign starts on 21st. February 2019, marking
"International Mother Language Day", and will continue till 31st March
2019. To make it easy for the participants, a list of images (inclusive,
but not limited to) will posted at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…
.
All the communities are invited to actively take part in the campaign, you
can sign-up yourself as a "Community organiser" for your language at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…
(max
two per community), or just sign up as a participant at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…
.
If you would like to organise a small onsite event, please sign up at:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:SVG_Translation_Campaign_2019_in…,
before 21st January 2019. So that it'll help us to finalise the budget.
It might sound confusing, but all the resources required for smooth
participation will be online far before the campaign starts on 21st
February 2019. If you have any questions, please email me or post at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:SVG_Translation_Campaign_20…
