Congratulations to the newly appointed and reappointed members! Also, thank
you to Lodewijk and Bence for their kind words. :) I would also like to
join them in thanking Josh for his work over the past few years.

Not surprisingly, I have a great deal of respect and affection for the
AffCom and their work. I think this is an especially interesting time for
the committee, and am excited to see what comes from them in the coming
months. :)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Happy Magnus Manske Day!

2016-01-24 Thread Gerard Meijssen
Hoi,
If there is one thing I have learned from Magnus, it is that a single tool
is just that. Easily forgotten. The power of his approach is that he thinks
about tools as part of a chain. This means that when a new tool is build,
it slots in. It gains power by doing so.

Being an independent thinker, his tools fit his architecture, an
architecture that is his. He is quite happy to hear ideas and when he sees
reason, he will even apply himself and make it so. It is why I am grateful
to him for the many small things he added to Reasonator to humour me.

It is against this light that it bemuses me. He has his day, but he did not
have his day. One of the best ideas not part of either the Wikipedia or
Wikidata road map is his tool for redlinks. I have said it before and I say
it again. It will improve both Wikipedia and Wikidata significantly. It has
only one drawback, the pundits did not find fault with it so it does not
get tracktion. 
Thanks,
  GerardM

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Affiliations Committee appointments, January 2016

2016-01-24 Thread Josh Lim
Hi everyone,

First of all, I want to congratulate everyone joining (or re-joining) the 
Committee this cycle.  Some of the Wikimedia movement’s best minds will be 
joining the rest of the Committee, and I have full confidence in Rosie, Emna 
and Tanweer—three wonderful Wikimedians who I’ve come to know over my 
lifetime—in fulfilling our mission.  I also want to congratulate Carlos, 
Salvador and Galio for their successful return to the Committee, to which I’m 
sure their insight and leadership will continue to serve the Committee well.

I also want to thank all of you, especially Greg, Bence and Lodewijk, for all 
the kind words.  I am of course disappointed that I wasn’t reappointed to the 
Committee, but I trust its wisdom, and perhaps it was for the best.

That said, it has been the greatest honor of my life thus far to serve in the 
Affiliations Committee, and I want to thank you all for the responsibility 
you’ve accorded to me.  I know the Committee will continue to do great things, 
as we’ve done over the last three years, and I have confidence that they will 
continue to fight for our affiliates moving forward, no matter where they are 
in the world.

Even if I’m no longer in the Affiliations Committee, I look forward to serving 
the movement in other capacities, and in the meantime, I'll continue to pursue 
the meaningful work of bringing our movement's Asian communities together, as 
well as fighting for increased geographic diversity in places where they need 
to be improved.

Once again, thank you all, and I look forward to seeing what’s in store for our 
movement moving forward.

Best regards,

Josh

Thank you Kirill.

Also from me a warm welcome to the new committee members! Seems like a good
new influx of qualified members. There were many good candidates this time
around.

Also, I'd like to express my sincere thanks to the committee members that
have not been reappointed: Gregory Varnum (who left the committee a little
while ago upon his appointment at the WMF as staff member) and Josh Lim,
who have both served in a very valuable role at this Committee. Thank you
for allt hose hours that you have spent!

Best regards,

Lodewijk

I hope they were checked for Google ties and past anticompetitive 
behaviour ;-)

Hello all,

We as Wikimedia Belgium now have a new board installed with the General
Assembly of Saturday 23 January 2016.

Three board members leave (due time constraints):
* MADe - our hard working president who focussed on the goal of founding
Wikimedia Belgium and he did!

* M0tty - our vice president who is one of the founders and collaborated
with the Mundaneum.

* Dimi z - our international liaison and one of the founders and is the
face to the European politicians in Brussels.

All three remain active for Wikimedia Belgium in an advisory role for the
board.

Thank you MADe, M0tty & Dimi z for your work the past years!


Two board members come in:
* SPQRobin - member of the Wikimedia language committee, developer, and
long term Wikipedia editor.

* Lfurter - graphic designer, researcher, curator, and organiser of
multiple Wikimedia events.


Welcome SPQRobin & Lfurter!


Also a new president of our chapter has been elected. This is now Geertivp.

Geertivp had in the board the role of secretary, which included a
performance on Belgian television last week. Thank you for your work as
secretary and success with the role as president!

SPQRobin takes over the role of secretary from Geertivp.


Romaine

[Wikimedia-l] Happy Magnus Manske Day!

2016-01-24 Thread Jane Darnell
Hope everybody takes some time today to share what they have learned from
using Magnus' tools. It's time to call on all posse members to share their
tool tips, because it's ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Magnus_Manske_Day

Here are my top links:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/
http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/quick_statements.php
https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/prepbio.php
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/creator_from_wikidata.php

I use these to edit data about artists and their works, but you could use
prepbio for preparing to publish any biography on English Wikipedia, and
Mix-n-Match for any authority control for person data, not just artists.
