Community open letter on renaming Wikimedia
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

[To all Wikimedia projects, minus mailing lists with an active discussion already.] On August 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees may decide a rename to "Wikipedia Foundation" and various other things. <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Boar…> Following a community meeting, a proposed open letter was written: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming> «We ask the Wikimedia Foundation to pause or stop its current movement renaming activities, due to persistent shortcomings in the current rebranding process. Future work should be restarted only in a way that ensures equitable decision-making.» (Sorry for the crossposting. When replying, be mindful of cc. Do consider forwarding to language-specific discussion venues with a short translated introduction, or translate the pages on Meta.) Cheers, Federico aka Nemo

2020 Community Wishlist Survey: Submit Your Proposals
by Ilana Fried 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

The 2020 Community Wishlist Survey <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020> is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech> team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on November 11, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. To submit proposals, you can check out the guidelines on the survey page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#Guidelines>. This year, we’ll only be accepting wishes for non-Wikipedia content projects with no dedicated teams (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews). To learn more about the new format, we invite you to visit the survey page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020#New_format_f…>. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!

My proposal for a Multilingual Wikiquote
by J JIH 08 Apr '18

08 Apr '18

Continuing from https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikiquote#Why_a_separate_project? I am dreaming of eventually opening a Multilingual Wikiquote to supplement existing Wikiquote domains: 1) A sortable table seems better for widely translated quotes. Now https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/zh:假幣 (fake money) cannot translate from Chinese, but if opening a Multilingual Wikiquote on Incubator first, I would like to translate these quotes to English if not yet available. 2) Existing Wikiquote domains will remain open with their pre-existing layouts. They may have inbound but not outbound translations. 3) If any language cannot be approved a subdomain, Multilingual Wikiquote will serve it until it has its own home. This is similar to Multilingual Old Wikisource and Beta Wikiversity. Hopefully I will get some more users to test my thought on Incubator first. Thanks.

Ombuds Commission now accepting nominations
by Karen Brown 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Hello all, Please accept my apologies if you are receiving this a number of times today. We have sent it out to multiple mailing lists in order to reach as many community members as possible. It's coming close to time for annual appointments of community members to serve on the Ombudsman commission (OC). This commission works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser tools, and to mediate between the complaining party and the individual whose work is being investigated. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Executive Director or the Board of Trustees in investigations of these issues. For more on their duties and roles, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki /Ombudsman_commission This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for appointment to this commission. Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser tool OR who have the technical ability to understand the CheckUser tool and the willingness to learn it. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners are required to identify to the Wikimedia Foundation and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public data policy[1] and the privacy policy[2]). This is a position that requires a high degree of discretion and trust. If you are interested in serving on this commission, please write me an email off-list to detail your experience on the projects, your thoughts on the commission and what you hope to bring to the role. The commission consists of nine members; all applications are appreciated and will be carefully considered. The deadline for applications is end of day on *18 December, 2017*. Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you! -Karen Brown On behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Support & Safety team 1. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Access_to_nonpublic_information_policy 2. https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy -- Karen Brown Community Advocate Wikimedia Foundation kbrown(a)wikimedia.org

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians: We are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation. There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own: · Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement)[1] · Track B (individual contributors): On Meta[2] or your local language or project wiki[3] This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years? We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement. Sincerely, Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams [1][4] PS.

Marking up quotes for machine consumption
by Ori Avtalion 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Hi, It's really hard to scrape the English Wikiquote for quotes, as pages contain different types of non-quote items: credits, external links, citatons, quotes in their original language. The French Wikiquote seems careful about always using the Template:Citation for actual quotes, which clearly marks them, and can be consumed by machines easily. Have you considered doing the same for the English Wikiquote? (I understand it's a big task to convert all pages, but the convention could still be adopted by a gradual process)
