[Foundation-l] My public aplogies to Jan-Bart (was Movement roles letter, Feb 2012)
Jan-Bart, I am sorry. I didn’t know this is your name and present you publicly my more sincere apologies for misstyping it. I personally know the sensitivity about this kind of issues. My name in Catalan sounds completely different with accent than without. “Gomà” is a quite extended and ancient Catalan surname while “goma” in Catalan means rubber. I had to get used with this many years ago because in Spanish they don’t have accents for capital letters that’s how many official documents are written and more recently because in many computer keywords there is no way to write à. I assure you that this mistake has been because I didn’t know and that this won’t happen never again. Béria Lima berialima at gmail.com Thu Feb 16 04:09:27 UTC 2012 Gomà called him Jan at least 3 times today and no one complained. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Is this really something to get upset over? It's not as if he was calling you stupid, he simply misspelled your name (shortened it, really).

Re: [Foundation-l] foundation-l Digest, Vol 95, Issue 58
Béria, I was not calling you out as the only person doing this, you just happened to be the most recent. Certainly we have a tradition in my country of shortening names as well (or just adding the suffix -o or -za to them, so that John becomes Johnno or Barry becomes Bazza), but I would never presume to call you B or Bério or something like that without first being invited to do so. In this case, Jan-Bart has made it abundantly clear that he prefers to be called Jan-Bart and not some other name, so we should leave it at that.

Agreed. As one of those whose name is frequently butchered due to our medium of communications (who knows how I want it pronounced until/unless you meet me or someone who's met me?), the criteria I use in judging offense is Has this person ever been told by me how I prefer to be addressed? If not, then see step 1. If so, a mild reminder is in order. The mild reminders tend to escalate. After the point of reminder, common courtesy dictates extra care on the part of the person referring to you. My friend Aphaia did this very kindly with me years ago, and I have never gotten it wrong since, to my knowledge. An exception: I'll be damned if I'm writing out Oliver Keyes, God of Delphi, Sol, and all Ethereal Planes Known and As-Yet Undiscovered because I won't grant - in writing - my own claims to those ethereal planes. :-) pb ___ Philippe Beaudette Director, Community Advocacy Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. 415-839-6885, x 6643 phili...@wikimedia.org To check my email volume (and thus know approx how long it will take me to respond), go to http://courteous.ly/hpQmqy On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 7:46 AM, Thomas Morton morton.tho...@googlemail.com wrote: I used to be really antsy over my name; to the point where, at school, I refused to be taught by one teach for a time because she kept calling me Tom.

(At the other side, I don't think that cultural misunderstandings should be fixed by apologizing. Here. Beria simply doesn't understand where the problem is.) I wouldn't comment Jan-Bart's wish, but I have comparable position toward usage of particular words: If email in my inbox begins with Dear Milos (especially in Serbian) by a person not so close to me, I would treat it as over-formal tone. (One of my friends sends such emails to trash automatically.) I would automatically have negative attitude toward that person. There are a couple of other wrong beginnings of email if someone wants my [positive] attention. Dear Sir (literally in Serbian Respected Mister) is worse than Dear Milos, for example. But, particular rule has different meaning in particular circumstances. For example, if one French or American starts email with Dear Milos, I would treat it as their cultural characteristic and I wouldn't have such negative attitude as if I heard it from one Serbian. If I get it from you, Beria, I would ask you if everything is OK with you. If I get a genuine email from one person from Sub-Saharan Africa email with Dear Sir, I wouldn't complain about it, as I would assume that it's his or her best attempt to be polite. If I get it from you, I would think that your email account has been hijacked by spammers. Note that I don't care a lot about words and that I wouldn't complain, but just make my position toward the person which sent email to me. Some people, culturally or personally, have stronger emotions toward naming conventions. Which means that the safest method for using particular words in communication with someone is to ask that person. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
[Foundation-l] Polish Wikimania scholarship program
Hi, Wikimedia Polska (Poland) has just launched its own scholarships programme for Wikimedians willing to attend Wikimania 2012 in Washington, D.C. This year, apart from up to 10 scholarships for Wikimedians from Poland, we are also going to grant up to 6 scholarships for Wikimedians from other countries. Only countries which have lower national income per capita than Poland (according to World Bank 2010 stats) are eligible. We are particularly willing to reach out to the Wikimedians from the former USSR countries (except Estonia, which doesn't meet the income criteria) and from the Balkans (except Greece and Slovenia, for the same reason). The scholarship covers travel and accommodation expenses, as well as conference fee. More details are available here: http://pl.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/en The closing date for applications is March 9.

Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 18:12:46 +0100 From: Sue Gardner sgard...@wikimedia.org And -- in the event the OP is still here, Joan Gom?, how are you properly addressed in person? I have heard people say things like When does Gom? arrive in Paris and I have also been using that. But you should presumably be addressed as Joan -- and presumably with the J sound pronounced as a Y? Thanks, Sue Well I am a bit ashamed by all this attentions to this off topic issue. I am used to many changes in my name but if you are curious this is the idea: It is indifferent to use the name or surname. In Catalan it is much more common to use the surname even among friends because the names are repeated a lot but either is correct and usual. J in Catalan is pronounced exactly the same as in English. It is perfectly correct to pronounce Joan as in English. It sounds like if you came from Valencia. In Barcelona it is pronounced Jooan the “o” sounds like “oo” in book. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

This year, apart from up to 10 scholarships for Wikimedians from Poland, we are also going to grant up to 6 scholarships for Wikimedians from other countries. Only countries which have lower national income per capita than Poland (according to World Bank 2010 stats) are eligible. We are particularly willing to reach out to the Wikimedians from the former USSR countries (except Estonia, which doesn't meet the income criteria) and from the Balkans (except Greece and Slovenia, for the same reason). The scholarship covers travel and accommodation expenses, as well as conference fee.
