[Wikimedia-l] Work needed from enthusiastic wikimedians

[Margaret Donald]

 WLE 2021 in Australia is underway and so far has just 306 photos (with 77
being judged as outside the competition)

There are two major tasks, I am hoping you all will be willing to
participate in
1. Annotating the photos, by
1.1 adding "depicts" statements as structured data. This should include
1.1.1 species name if relevant
1.1.2 protected area (name of national park, IPA, nature reserve etc
1.2 adding appropriate categories, i.e.,
1.2.1 species name (if relevant)
1.2.2 category for the national park etc
1.3 Adding wikidata for national parks, marine reserves etc which do not
yet have a wikidata item. This item should should show that the area is
protected and you may be able find and add statements for:
1.3.1 P809 (WDPA ID) See. e.g.Q106099285s
1.3.2 P814 IUCN protected areas category (available from the WDPA ID)  See,
e.g.Q106099285
1.4 Classifying photographs which fail to comply with the competition rules
as being outside the competition, i.e., categorise them using:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Earth_2021_in_Australia_outside_the_competition
(These are a subcategory of the uploaded images and should not show them as
belonging directly to
Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Earth_2021_in_Australia

The second task is to grade the uploaded images using the prejury tool. The
essentials are shown here
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2021_in_Australia/Prejury
and you join by clicking on prejury tool. (Images uploaded by you are
excluded from your grading)
The prejury tool will only work well if many of us use it. (This is the
statistician speaking).  So please use it. It will allow the judges to
winnow out photographs which will not win.

Thanks for your help on this.

Regards,
Margaret

Excellent to find out the newly elected ED is a Christian Humborg. I wish
him success in his new role.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: COVID-19 second wave and protection of our most valuable movement asset

[টিটো দত্ত Tito Dutta]

Hello,
We have started working on this. Details are updated at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_support_for_Wikimedians/India and
the FAQ page
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_support_for_Wikimedians/India/FAQ
We have opened up applications and started getting support requests.
Because of lockdown in different states in India, things are a bit slow in
couriering the kits. We'll keep things updated on Meta-Wiki and here.
Regards.

 Hello all,

 I just want to share that Wikimedia Indonesia has started the
 initiative since last year. We have disbursed a healthy package - we call
 it, wellness package - to our active community members. They are indeed
 very valuable and most of them are vulnerable. Vaccine is another story,
 since our country still prioritizes the most needed first.

 Personally I feel, insuring individuals against COVID-19 or helping
 people to get vaccines or sending other supports can be better handled
 locally by local affiliates (or local committees as proposed by Tito,
 whichevers seems fit) instead of a central organization like WMF. Local
 affiliates have better information about the vulnerable section of the
 community, government orders concerning the available vaccines, local
 market value of insurance premiums, vaccines, disinfectants etc. 
 Sometimes
 they even have the money and/or the intention to extend this kind of
 support too, all they need is just a permission from the donor i.e. WMF
 Grants team.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Deutschland’s new Executive Director: Christian Humborg

[Lukas Mezger]

Dear fellow Wikimedians,

In January, Abraham Taherivand informed you that he had decided not to
renew his contract with Wikimedia Deutschland. Today, I am excited to
announce that our search for a new Executive Director has been successful:
Christian Humborg will take over office at Wikimedia Deutschland from 1
June.

One of the most important tasks of the Wikimedia Deutschland Executive
Board is the appointment of the Executive Director. My colleagues and I are
very pleased to have found such a fantastic candidate for the vacant
position. Christian impressed us with his bold ideas and visions, his
leadership experience at the head of influential civil society
organisations and his passion for the liberation of knowledge. He clearly
prevailed among the 59 applicants. The search was managed by our
Supervisory Board and Abraham with the support of an external executive
search firm.

Christian knows the Wikimedia Movement and our commitment to free knowledge
well – because he has helped shape both since 2016 as deputy executive
director and head of finance at Wikimedia Deutschland. Before that, he was
the executive director of the anti-corruption organisation Transparency
International Germany, helped establish the non-profit investigative
journalism centre Correctiv and was awarded the Grimme Online Award as a
member of the journalism collective carta.info. He is the right fit for the
future of Wikimedia Deutschland.

At this point, on behalf of our entire Board, I would like to express my
heartfelt thanks to Abraham, who has achieved so much as Executive Director
over the last four years. He has set important strategic impulses that will
be decisive for the future success of Wikimedia in the world. Abraham
joined Wikimedia Deutschland in 2012 and has since strengthened the
organisation in every respect and positioned it very well for this
handover. Thank you for your great commitment!

It is to Abraham’s credit that he discussed his decision with the Board at
an early stage and thus made a well thought-out search process possible.
Together, we are now working on a good transition.

We are looking forward to continuing the success of the last four years
together with Christian, to tackling new projects, to implementing the 2030
strategy – and to liberating a few more pieces of knowledge together every
day.
Kind regards,

Lukas
