I also wanted to thank you all for the feedback over the past week and a half. It really helped us understand your concerns and go back to the drawing board -- this discussion has really reemphasized the value of community consultations periods to me. In the end, we want to do what works for the community and the movement. Best, Michelle Hi guys, In addition to the continuing discussion Michelle started above on whether we should check ID or not the legal team has also started responding with thoughts and some options on other suggestions and questions (such as retention time and keeping the data instead of the id). In all of these they’ve asked for thoughts if you haven’t checked the page since early/mid last week it would be great if you could check it again to weigh in. They will also be continuing to respond to unanswered questions and concerns so please don’t think your specific concern is being ignored. We have also reached out to all OTRS agents to make sure they are aware of a discussion on whether they should be included in the policy (currently only OTRS admins are). That conversation is ongoing at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Access_to_nonpublic_information_policy#OTRS_volunteers and could, again, use more comments whether you’re a member of OTRS or not.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] The Wikipedia Adventure, alpha testers needed
Hi Jake. I completed the first mission, editing and formatting. Hi think it's pretty cool! A minor issue, maybe, is that the badge is created at the bottom of the page, in the center. I personally don't like that, as I'm used to having things on the right side of it. As I'm supposed to be a newbie, I maybe don't know hox to fix it, or move it or anything. ANother thing is that I clicked on the Editor badgem to see what it was like, and I bit of lost myself. Is the message clear enoguh, when you say go back and click edit? But, as I said, these are minor things. It would be very cool tro translate this game in Italian too, at the end :-) Aubrey On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 8:46 PM, Jake Orlowitz jorlow...@gmail.com wrote: David, I think I just fixed it with the help of Village Pump Tech.

Dear Ansuman, Thanks for flagging your concerns pertaining to the Access to Knowledge (A2K) program at the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS). Most of these are in the pipe-line (or works in progress) and we will share updates on each one of the queries you have posted, on the mailing lists and/or on-wiki in the next 15-20 days. We will also update on our failures in meeting some of the plans. There are some delays with the taking off of some of our current year plans [0]. However, I fail to understand where we have lied? All the A2K work is periodically i.e. monthly, (except for once where we clubbed two months newsletters as we were redesigning the newsletter based on feedback received from some Indian Wikimedia community members0 published through A2K Newsletter. The Newsletters were widely circulated on all Indian Wikimedia mailing lists. Please also see: a) All CIS-A2K Newsletters here [1] under the section The Access to Knowledge Bulletin. b) All the Events CIS-A2K has organized towards strengthening the Wikimedia movement in India. We are currently updating all the events on this [2] Meta page and soon you will see all the events conducted/supported by A2K since September 2012. c) Support to various requests placed by the Indian Wikimedia community.

[Wikimedia-l] Attention needed for Croatian Wikipedia issue
Dear fellow Wikipedia and Wikimedia contributors and users, The issue at hand that has forced me to compose this address are the pressing circumstances surrounding the Croatian language branch of Wikipedia, which has become notoriously well known in the broader Wikipedia community in recent months. For some years now, a part of the administrators at Croatian language Wikipedia have been operating as a cabal of sorts; the exact number of members, the shape of this community and the extent of their doings difficult to discern. For the last couple of months on Wikipedia there has been an on-going prolonged dispute underway about abuse of administrator privileges and breach of Wikipedia rules. Three days ago, on 26 October 2013 and as a result of this dispute, one of the contributors (Frano Milić[1]), who can safely be figured among those who had avoided previous conflicts, called for a desysopping vote for the three admins that seem to be have been the most involved with the current issues regarding the project. [2] Immediately after this, SpeedyGonsales, one of the admins whose privileges were about to be put to vote and who had already been reported for promotion of fascism, breach of rules and abuse of administrative tools, now being in a conflict of interests, brought to a halt the voting process on his own initiative on the pretext of lack of evidence [3]. After the part of the admins who were not members of the cabal expressed their support for the mechanics allowing the community to express their opinions in a process of vote, a revert war broke out on the vote page and sitenotice. [4] SpeedyGonsales, the administrator whose work was under scrutiny and privileges put to the vote, now with other admins who we believe are members of the cabal, initiated the process of admin poll request (a process somewhat unique to Croatian Wikipedia, which is aimed at gathering opinions and decisions of the college of admins). It was an attempt to use orchestrated voting to silence those admins who supported the continuation of the desysopping vote. The presumed purpose was to attempt to win enough votes to either block those opposing him or desysop them in order to disable the continuation of the desysopping vote against him and the two of his colleagues. The overall sentiment of the community was evidently strongly inclined to vote which became clear when the voting recommenced as soon as the lock on the vote page had been lifted. However, under the current circumstances the process has been severely disturbed and it is not certain that the wish of the community would be respected. For the picture to be complete, one piece of information is crucial. The administrators who have expressed their resistance against the spirit of the cabal and the dictatorship are under a lot of pressure as they are harassed by e-mails and texting. The messages vary in content but as a general rule they contain little niceties. If the issue we are dealing with is not resolved very soon, if not immediately, a large number of contributors will simply leave the project. As we are all aware, the admins are hobbyists and not activists and their capacity for conflict and unpleasantries are limited. They are unable to resolve the problems without your assistance. And the problems they face have been in the making for many years, but it has taken a while for the community to unite and gather strength to deal with these issues. Now we are witnessing an almost unique situation on Wikipedia - that the community has made a decision and gained the required strength to get rid of all internal cabals. Stopping the process now would spell a disaster for the entire project - it would send a message of encouragement to anyone willing to usurp sysop privileges in the future. Additionally, the admins who have expressed dissent over the accumulated problems at Croatian Wikipedia have managed to accurately pinpoint the administrators responsible for the ridiculously low quality of certain articles, and the public and the media have recognized the overall soundness of the Wiki project and that the work lacking in quality is to be attributed to the minority of administrators-usurpers. However, we fear that the positive momentum might be lost now, if the process is stopped, and the critical public and media eye might see the current situation as reflective of the entire Wiki project’s quality.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Attention needed for Croatian Wikipedia issue
It has been very sad learning of the problem you have had and to follow the discussion you have had on meta. I think, though, that you in this extremely tough situation has handled it very competently and in the tradition of the wikimedia culture. As I understand it, you have now also identified the root of the problem and started a good process to tackle it, where you have full support from your community I would recommend you to not stop at his stage, for any reason, but to get to the result that seem the best (to block some admins) If you find some extraordinary procedural problem in the process, do not forget ''Ignore all rules. Why not identify the admin with most credibility from all and get him/her to block the admins, and afterward go through the voting?

Hi Dalibor, Could you describe what type of aid you are looking for, and how you think it fits with the overall governing ethos of Wikimedia projects? (For example, if you ask for WMF staff to intervene, would you argue that the WMF can and should intervene in project disputes when one side makes a request?).

[Wikimedia-l] Fwd: FOSS Outreach Program for Women: call for candidates, projects, and mentors
Your help promoting the Free and Open Source Outreach Program for Women is welcome. We are looking for candidates to become full-time interns in a Wikimedia tech project between December and March. We are also looking for mentors and projects. See the details below. Wikimedia chapters and other organizations can also help promoting this program in their areas. So far the only countries with a slightly decent representation of candidates are India and USA. Thank you! Original Message Subject: FOSS Outreach Program for Women: call for candidates, projects, and mentors Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2013 15:02:37 -0700 From: Quim Gil q...@wikimedia.org To: Wikimedia developers wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org PLEASE FORWARD TO WHOEVER MIGHT BE INTERESTED Wikimedia will participate in the FOSS Outreach Program for Women - Round 7. Interns of this program work full time in an open source project during 4 months. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FOSS_Outreach_Program_for_Women Candidates interested are encouraged to add themselves to the table at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_7#Candidates - even if you are still preparing your proposal. We are actually running late (my fault). The application process is open until November 11. The internship period goes from December 10 to March 10, 2014. The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to fund up to 8 interns. This is a great opportunity for Wikimedia / MediaWiki related projects. Our process is quite simple: define a project, find the mentors and go for it! https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_mentors The previous featured projects and confirmed mentors have been moved respectively to the Raw and Bench sections. If you want to participate in this OPW round move the entries back to the featured sections. New projects and mentors are welcome too, of course! If you have any questions please ask. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
