Good day from Singapore,
Can I have a Wikipedia article written about me?
I am looking forward to your reply.
Thank you.

[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,

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.

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!

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)
