1. Please note that the GDP per capita for China and India *combined* still
falls far short of the EU. [1]

2. For two of the major economies of East Asia, Wikipedia is *not* the
number one reference site for the general public. For China, it’s Baidu
Baike and for Korea, it’s Naver.

As Seddon said, it is a far more complex picture than looking at population
count and dollar amounts.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FY1718 Fundraising Report now published

2018-10-01 Thread Joseph Seddon 
India is definitely a place Fundraising see's as having a lot of potential
in the future, but similarly expectations should be managed.

It may have a population twice the size, but its readership is only a
fraction of Europe's.  India is also dominated by mobile that has been
substantially more difficult when it comes to fundraising (although we are
working exceptionally hard in this area).

India is a substantially cash driven economy, and the card payments
environment has also been in substantial flux over the last 5 years both
from a regulatory and alternative payments standpoint.

Is there room for growth? Yes definitely and as a team we hope that to see
that happen incrementally over the coming years. Ten times larger? Maybe in
time.

Seddon

Yes but India has probably 2 times the population of the whole Europe...
and cannot be defined like a "poor" country. I Think that the same is valid
also for East Asia.

No it's not simple to compare but the amount donated in Asia is really
small.

Kind regards

[Wikimedia-l] Call for Applications: 2019 Ombuds Commission

2018-10-01 Thread Karen Brown 
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 31
December, 2018.

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think
may be qualified and  interested.

Thank you!

-Karen Brown

[Wikimedia-l] How to measure the effectiveness of user blocks?

2018-10-01 Thread Sydney Poore 
The Community health initiative is starting a project to measure the
effectiveness of blocks. The first step is to discuss with the wikimedia
community ideas about how to do it. To that end, the Anti-Harassment Tools
team and Morten Warncke-Wang have created space to discuss research ideas
about user blocks.

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative/Measuring_the_effectiveness_of_blocks

AHT is particularly interested to learn whether the new partial blocks
feature is successful as a ''tool or instrument''. Therefore, the first
part of this research will mainly focused on the short term gains in the
utility of partial blocks in order to understand whether it appears to be
working and if there appears to be a need for changes. These measurements
will provide us with insight quickly. Currently there is not much known
about how sitewide blocks affect users. This makes a comparison of the
effects of the new partial block feature to sitewide blocks difficult. To
provide all of us with some insight, the Anti-Harassment Tools team would
like to examine historical block data across wikimedia projects to
establish a baseline.

However, our list of measurements that we propose has a lot of longer term
ones, e.g. surveys. These are important and should be considered to be
implemented later, because they can provide all of us with insight that is
otherwise hidden.

Please on wiki to discuss these ideas and your ideas.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FY1718 Fundraising Report now published

2018-10-01 Thread Joseph Seddon 
Hey Illario.

It is not as simple to simply that the contribution from Asia should be 10
times bigger.  It is not just about GDP.

Our readership from the three countries in the top 10: Macao, Oman and
Singapore; is a fraction of that of the United States. (specifically 1.4%
of the USA).

Do not get me wrong. Fundraising sees area for potential long term growth
in both Asia and South America but we must be realistic for what that
growth is.

That's why I gave a long list of the factors that affect the potential for
fundraising in Asia, Africa and South America.  Its a complex equation

Regards
Seddon

I agree in that point.

Please be back to this millenium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal) 
(updated to 2017).


Three Asian countries are listed in the top 10.

And the estimation is to have sooner a fourth:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_past_and_projected_GDP_(PPP)#IMF_estimates_between_2020_and_2023

We can say that we have to look at the distribution of GDP, but also in 
this case three countries of the top 10 are Asian:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita

Honestly there should be from Asia a contribution 10 times bigger in the 
fundraising.


I think that it's time to say that Asia is a continent that can give more.

Kind regards

Hi Thea,

Thank you for sharing this report.

I very much like the visual design, which I think is simple, clear, and
concise. Who did the design?

Regarding the sentences, "We imagine a world in which every single human
being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Each year, with your
support, we edge closer toward that vision.": I suggest removing the second
sentence because the horizons of human knowledge continue to expand at a
significant rate, and I doubt that we have evidence that we're keeping up
in every human language with the pace that human knowledge advances, let
alone moving fast enough to catch up.

I'm a bit surprised by the relatively low revenue from regions other than
North America and Europe. Those look like areas where Fundraising could be
more successful in the future. Does Fundraising have plans to work on
improving revenue from those regions?

Congratulations on the success with asking donors to cover transaction
fees.

Thanks again for sharing this report.

I suppose Asia can do a lot better than 3 million, but I don't augur much
success with increasing those campaigns for Africa and South America, at
least using the current model.

Looking by the sample I know in Brazil (last year fundraising campaign, in
August I believe) the Brazilian Portuguese Wikipedia readers often got
enraged to the point of vandalizing articles stating their disgust for a
campaign asking money to an impoverished country (even more saying 10$ was
the cost of a coffee there). Others "donated" money or attempted to donate
it thinking it was a kind of a fee for being allowed to read Wikipédia
(kind of a subscription).

Dear members of AffCom, members of Wikimedia Portugal and Wikimedia
community,

We have now finished writing our capacity building plan, as the final step
of the roadmap we agreed upon with AffCom to return the Wikimedia Portugal
chapter status back to normal.
You can find it published in our wiki:
https://pt.wikimedia.org/wiki/Plano_de_capacitação_2018

Some background on the suspension and the previous steps can be found here:

and
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2018-September/090975.html

I would like to register a note of appreciation to everyone that
contributed with this roadmap, from everyone that wrote and commented on
the plan, members old and new showing their support of our actions,
participating on the General Assemblies and for helping us bringing
Wikimedia Portugal back on its feet. Your continued effort and commitment
has been inspiring and motivating.
