Fwd: Decision-making survey for GLAM-Wiki conferences
by Giovanna Fontenelle 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

Hi everyone, I hope you are well! The Wikimedia Foundation's Culture and Heritage team <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Culture_and_Heritage_t…> is launching a *decision-making survey for GLAM-Wiki conferences* <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/671593?lang=en>. The goal of this process is to gather input and data to decentralize decision-making away from the Wikimedia Foundation and enable the GLAM-Wiki community to take collective ownership of the conference. This may include forming a steering committee and making key decisions, such as determining the location of future conferences, their frequency, and other related matters. The conference will still follow the Conference & Event Fund <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Community_Fund> guidelines. This survey will remain open until *June 30*. This survey contains 25 questions. If you would like to review the questions beforehand or have any comments or concerns, please refer to this page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Conferences/Survey>. Please review the privacy statement for this survey here <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal:Decision-Making_Framework_for_G…> . *Privacy notice: *You can choose to share your contact information if you would like to be informed of the results. The data is maintained solely to create a decision-making framework for GLAM-Wiki conferences. Thanks for your consideration. Your input in this survey is very important and will help to improve the next GLAM-Wiki conferences! Best regards, Giovanna Fontenelle From: Giovanna Fontenelle <gfontenelle(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Wed, Jun 18, 2025 at 10:05 PM Subject: Decision-making survey for GLAM-Wiki conferences To: Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network <wren(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Giovanna Fontenelle (she/her) Program Officer, Culture and Heritage Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

Is community ban eternal?
by Johanna Janhonen 03 Jun '25

03 Jun '25

Hi! Last time I was mentioning my community ban I got almost 3 years ago. https://hiddentreasure2.blogspot.com/2022/08/why-was-i-banned-in-english-wi… Since then I've become the second WIR in Finland. I'm actively training Wikipedia in Finland (Finnish Wikipedia) but talking about the rules on English Wikipedia is getting harder as I'm not editing there anymore. I'm also part of Wikimedia UK's Wikipedia trainers' network and I'm interested in becoming a mentor for a new Wikipedia trainer (the process takes 1-2 years). As I've been a wiki trainer for nearly 20 years (I was a wiki trainer before I became a Wikipedia trainer) I think I've got a lot that I could give to newbies. In the last Wikimania I was told to try the UTRS process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Unblock_Ticket_Request_System but haven't done it yet. I'm unsure about what the correct strategy here would be. If I say I'd like to get access so that I could train people there they may say that someone who has been community banned is not allowed to train other people as they are problematic persons per se. I don't know how these requests are handled, in public or by some team. Any thoughts / hints would be appreciated. Cheers, Johanna
