Re: [Wikimedia-l] A proposed project, Wikifiction

2017-05-10 Thread Andy Cruz y Corro 
Non-broken link for the lazy:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikifiction_%28In-universe_encyclopedia%29

My inner child/nerd is of course wishing to have a single, unified wiki
resource for all discussion of all fiction, but I fail to see

a) Why it would be different from either a standard, well-written Wikipedia
article, or
b) Why it would be different from having an article on its own Wikia fandom
wiki

The proposal is, and I quote, *a detailed in-universe encyclopedia of
fictional works, characters, places, and objects*. If I understand it
correctly, this means having a sort of Encyclopaedia Galactica (or
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe) for every fictional universe in a
single wiki. This is, in essence, the same as having a regular Wikipedia
article without the explicit legend of "___ is a fictional character in
_ work" and a "fictional biography" section.

The validity of The Tommy Westphall Hypothesis and its impact on this
proposed project are left as an exercise to the reader

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia, right, but on the blockchain

2017-04-25 Thread Andy Cruz y Corro 
Quick, non-neutral comments on the article, abridged for people on the go:

>> Wikipedia is the sixth most visited website in the world. Therefore,
Lunyr sees the potential revenue from advertising on its platform at a very
high level.

Of course, nobody has ever thought of planting ads on a Top 10 internet
site. Get this person a Nobel Prize or something.

>> *An image titled "Wikipedia's advertising revenue potential*

See above

>> Once the platform matures as a knowledge base, real-time contribution of
multi-language data shall be made available.

As opposed to a system that makes data available *as it is going through
this maturation process*

>> ...an economic incentive is proposed to contributors. They are rewarded
for their work and are therefore incentivized to further increase the value
of the ecosystem

Because, as several millennia of civilization shows, people contribute if
and only if there's an economic incentive to do so.

>> Three types of tokens are used in the Lunyr network [One for buying ads
on the network, one for calculating how many ad-tokens contributors
receive, one for participating in dispute resolutions]

I had a rant about complexity and people who despise it, but it doesn't fit
the margins of this email.

>> Roadmap using astronomical terms as Stage names

My inner pedant wonders why "Interstellar" goes before "Supernova", and why
"Nebula" comes before "Cosmic" and "why "Galaxy" is the last stage.

>>In the Lunyr whitepaper, the respective team is listed and after some
research online, I see no reason to doubt the intentions of the team

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell
lies?

>> Likely, a website like Wikipedia will not cooperate with Lunyr, as their
policy is strictly against advertising on their platform and Lunyr is a
competitor.

Then, why mention it?

>> Users have built some sort of reputation on Wikipedia, which they are
looking to keep and maintain

I firmly believe that if there was an objectively better alternative than
Wikipedia, people would flood it, regardless of their in-site reputation.
See: People who contribute to other wikis

>> I could also see myself as a future contributor to the platform. But for
this, I will most likely monitor the project for a while before starting
any contribution.

"I believe that this is a good boat and will not sink. I wish I could use
it to conquer the seas, but I will monitor it from the shore before I get
in"

Thank you very much for your kind words. These last few weeks have been

  Dear all,
 
  It is an honor to announce that the Affiliations Committee has resolved
 [1]
  recognizing the Egypt Wikimedians User Group as a Wikimedia User Group;
  their main focus areas are supporting the Wikimedia projects in Egypt as
  well as their fellow Egyptian Wikimedians, and becoming eventually the
  recognized chapter in the land of the Pharaohs and the Nile.  Let's
 welcome
  the newest member of the family of affiliates -and the second one from
 the
  Arab World!
 
 
  Regards,
  Carlos

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcement regarding Host for Wikimania 2015

Hi Steven!

Thanks for your comments. I'm part of the WMMX bidding team and I happen to
live in the Centro Historico area (only a few bus stops away from the
venue). Even though it's anecdotal, I can say that *a good deal of my free
time is spent in this zone and I've never experienced crime here*. I do
take precautions, but they are nothing out of the ordinary (no flashing of
valuables, hailing a cab after hours, avoiding dark alleys, etc.)

I will not say crime doesn't exist: it's a real risk, strongly considered
when making our bid. As Ivan said, we don't want to take chances and will
have additional support from the authorities (Ivan is our superstar in this
regard). We believe the venue is safe and we're sure our guests will enjoy
their stay here. The zone is safe for (part of) our team to live there.

That said, our team (myself included) are looking forward to your questions
and comments. Rest assured we will do our best to make of this the best
Wikimania experience for everyone.

 Steven, concerning to the public safety, our city are different from the
 known issues of the northern states of the country. In the link you quote
 for United States citizens are properly pointed for Mexico City: no
 advisory is in effect. Also, the Centro Historico area (the venue are in
 the north of this Downtown area) is safe for tourism. But we will have in
 addition the special support and coordination with the Mexico City
 authorities for more vigilance and a special operative for reduce any risk
 to the minimum in the venue and their perimeter.

  the
   worst (robberies, kidnappings) do happen.
  
 
  Not a small concern.  But, I should point out, one that we've dealt with
  before.  We had laptops stolen in Argentina, and physical safety concerns
  in Alexandria, as I recall.  I say this not to put a panacea of oh,
 there
  there, it'll be fine in place, but to assure people that this is
 something
  that I know that Garfield and Elle, and the rest of the WMF team working
 on
  this will consider and keep in mind. :-)
