[Wikimedia-l] Re: The Wikipedia Library: Accessing free reliable sources is now easier than ever

2022-01-26 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
I understand where you are coming from Mike, but I'm a bit stumped by it at
the same time. Do you apply the same logic to editors using expensive print
books they happen to have access through to some sort of connection or
other privilege? I often think about this in the opposite way, wrestling
information from behind paywalls into the open, I don't know how I feel
about anything that would discourage that.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Community Ireland Strategic Plan 2021-2024

2021-01-15 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
 Dear all,

Over the course of November 2020, the committee of Wikimedia Community
Ireland held 4 meetings dedicated to the development of the group's first 3
year strategic plan. It was formally adopted by the committee on 11 January
2021, and can be found on Commons here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Community_Ireland_Strategic_Plan_2021-2024.pdf>
.

We are very excited by many of the elements of the new plan, and would love
to hear from anyone interested in working with us to achieve the goals set
out.

Hope everyone is enjoying Wikipedia's big day!
(Next January Vicipéid, the Irish language Wikipedia turns 18, so watch
this space!)

Kind Regards,
Rebecca O'Neill
on behalf of Wikimedia Community Ireland

Re: [Wikimedia-l] online meetings

2020-11-16 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
I think this is a really great idea. Zoom burnout is very real, and with
the extra strategy meetings held over a wide time difference, I'm finding a
lot of creep into personal time is increasingly an issue for me and those I
collaborate with. It's been a heavy year all around, and factoring in a
collective down time would signal to everyone that we all deserve time and
space to rest, as best we can.

[Wikimedia-l] Celtic Knot Conference 2020 registration and schedule now live!

2020-06-17 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
*Dear all/A chairdeWe are very excited to announce that registration

and the schedule
 are now live
for the Celtic Knot Conference 2020, taking place remotely on 9-10 July
with satellite events throughout the week of 6-12 July.The Celtic Knot
Wikimedia Language Conference aims to bring people together to share their
experiences of working on sharing information in minority languages. We aim
to help people learn how to direct the flow of information across language
barriers and support their communities. As in previous years we will have a
strong focus on Wikidata and its potential to support languages. This year,
it’s hosted by Wikimedia Community Ireland in collaboration with Wikimedia
UK. The conference will be a mixture of live streamed and pre-recorded
content also available to allow for participation and engagement across
time zones. We will have space for social activities, so that we can
connect and hopefully learn a little about Irish culture. There is also the
chance for anyone to host a satellite event

during the week of the conference to showcase projects, campaigns or other
work being done that is relevant to the conference themes.We look forward
to seeing you all in July!From the organization team,Wikimedia UK (Daria
Cybulska, Director of Programmes)Wikimedia Community Ireland (Rebecca

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is the Wikimedia-movement apolitical?

2020-04-26 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
Seeing as you decided to call me out specifically, that line of reasoning
falls apart when you note that WMF foundations funds and supports
initiatives that would been seen as supporting all of those examples you
gave:

   - Wiki Loves Earth for animal sanctuaries, highlighting areas of natural
   beauty and those that require protection
   - WikiProject Medicine covers articles relating to opioid (and all
   manner of other addictions)
   - Art+Feminism and Wikimedia LGBT+ work to promote issues relating to
   LGBT+ and feminist content worldwide

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is the Wikimedia-movement apolitical?

2020-04-25 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
Well said. Everything is political, and when the movement choses not to
speak out or state an opinion on something, then we are giving our support
to the status quo.

Believing yourself to be apolitical is as much a fantasy as being
completely objective, it is inherently impossible.

[Wikimedia-l] Celtic Knot Conference 2020 will take place remotely

2020-03-24 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
*Dear all,Here’s an update regarding the Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language
Conference ,
planned on 9-10 July in Limerick, Ireland, organised by Wikimedia UK and
Wikimedia Community Ireland together with the Hunt Museum.We are taking the
current health crisis very seriously, and we cannot foresee how long it
will take before things get back to normal. However, we really want to
maintain an event that can bring together various people from the Wikimedia
community as well as cultural and education institutions to work on
minority languages on the Wikimedia projects.For these reasons, we decided
to transform this year’s edition of the Celtic Knot Conference into a fully
remote event. We will build a structure and a program that allows sharing
content online, as well as social interactions and knowledge exchange,
through various tools (videostream, chat, collaborative content
creation).This situation is unexpected, but we still hope that we can take
the best out of it, experiment on new formats, and we are convinced that
our participants will come up with creative ideas. The previously opened
call for papers will keep running for an extended time, until Thursday 30
April. Feel free to make some proposals and indicate what would be your
favourite format.We will keep you updated on this talk page
 to let
you know about the new format of the conference and how to participate. If
you have any ideas or suggestions, they are very welcome on this page
too.Thanks for your understanding agus slán go fóill!For the organization

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Practical implications of Coronavirus

The Irish government have closed all schools, childcare facilities,
colleges, universities and other public institutions until 29 March. The
current advice is not to have any gatherings of 100 people, but everyone I
had planned events with for the next month has decided to cancel/postpone
even at a much smaller scale.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next steps on Wikimedia Space

2020-02-19 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
I've been involved in the movement for ~7 years, took one look at IRC and
walked very quickly the other way, having used it 15+ years ago. I'm all
for retro, but that was taking it too far.
Relying on a tool that has been been haemorrhaging users for years, and
golden years are seen as around 20 years ago, seems less than ideal.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation joins the global climate strike

2019-09-23 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
Is it, perhaps, that the value a lot of people derive from these events is
not just the conference itself, but the ability to meet fellow Wikimedians
face-to-face and make meaningful contacts and even friendships that may
never otherwise have come about? I'm all about virtual, but there is value
in physical events, and I would say that we should make time and space for
both.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

2019-06-12 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
It wasn't hostile Pine, but it wasn't a great idea to call out one of the
few women on the chain for assuming bad faith given some of the other
statements and assertions on the thread.

I did not make any assumptions on the motivations of those who take part in
the on wiki discussions, I just stated that the results were often hostile
environments which make engagement difficult or intimidating. And then I am
name checked for making this rather mundane and oft cited issue. It was
just a poor choice given the circumstances overall.

I don't take part as a I don't want my "card to be marked" or have certain
editors monitoring my on wiki contributions based on assumptions made about
me and my editing motivations.

Hi Pine,

While I appreciate your attempt at guidance here, given some of the
messages in the chain the fact that you are calling me out as assuming bad
faith out of all the participants does not inspire me to take part at all.

Thanks, but I feel that I might just go back to deleting these onerous
threads as has been my custom in the past rather than be singled out in
such a manner.

If I had wanted to be tone policed o would have engaged with the on-wiki
conversation.

Rebecca

2019-06-12 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
I didn't make any speculation as to the potential views of any
non-participating editors. I didn't even proffer my own view.

I do find it telling that the assumption was made as to what side I would
fall on. My problem with how these discussions unfold is that there is a
vocal minority that dominate every single last one of them which does
nothing to inspire me to engage (along with many other editors I know). You
are right that the length and tone of the discussions is a huge factor in
that, along with the general fatigue brought on by the wall of text effect.

There is a strong element of certain editors continuously setting the tone
of these discussions which is unbearably adversarial and exclusionary.

Just you reply to your point on how many people are speaking out against
this decision, I'm a relatively active and interested editor and I have no
interest in voicing my opinion there as the atmosphere is so toxic. There
is always a danger of the tyranny of a vocal and motivated minority
appearing to be the dominant opinion of the community as a whole. I would
proffer that that is a deeply flawed premise, if we were to take into
account the number of people engaged in this discussion and compare it to
the number of regular contributors.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Reviewing our brand system for our 2030 goals

2019-04-13 Thread Rebecca O'Neill
I agree Galder!

I would like to respond to Phoebe's comment on not wanting to draw people
to the *Wikimedia* movement is not true of the Irish experience. We have
some idea of an editing community that aren't interested in getting
involved in our user group (and probably never will be), so we are very
keen to draw people to volunteering as Wikimedians not just as editors.
Presenting our group as something more than people who are experienced
Wikipedia editors is very important to us, and anything that makes that
message easier would be of huge benefit to us.
