Re: [Wikimedia-l] Free Bassel

Has there been a discussion of timing for this? SJ (who is offline right now) just mentioned that the Free Bassel group may be planning a focused outreach push tomorrow through Friday. Let's coordinate with them if possible. On Nov 25, 2015 11:21 AM, "Gerard Meijssen"

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] FDC recommendations for 2015-2016 Round 1 APG grant requests

I should have said this earlier: a big thank you to everyone who worked on this funding round. From reading the Meta-Wiki pages, it's easy to see that there is a lot of data to process and audit and it requires a decent amount of work to issue these important recommendations each round. Michael

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Free Bassel

Back at my computer: I checked w/ Jon Phillips and folks at newpalmyra and freebassel.org & pointed them to the Meta talk page. It sounded from a quick chat as though they had something planned this week, but the real question is how could a campaign like this be best directed if it was carried

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Free Bassel

Hoi, As this is not a Wikipedia article, it is more of an advertisement, a call to action. Urgency is key. This is not about the well known patterns of a Wikipedia article. This is not understood, it results at this late stage in an edit war. Either we have a point and make it or we have a

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Free Bassel

Thanks Katherine for this mail, it gives a lot of context and details, and also thanks for the difficult work the WMF is doing. Is the opinion of more experienced NGOs and activists that a dedicated banner/ribbon/logo would be a good idea? We all think that is an enormous power that we have as a

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Free Bassel

Hoi, I have looked at the article. It does not have the necessary urgency. He is likely to have been sentenced to death and the article reads like a Wikipedia article. This is Meta, it is not Wikipedia and it needs urgency. We appeal to the world to get involved to let his death not happen. That

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] FDC recommendations for 2015-2016 Round 1 APG grant requests

Not speaking for Anne here, but in general I think all Wikimedia movement-funded compensation should be published. This is already done in a number of Wikimedia grant proposals, and I believe that almost all government agencies in the U.S. are required to provide extensive data about their use of

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Quality issues

Hoi, To belabour the point, we do make errors, we will fail in expectations. What we need is not complaining that the world is not perfect, we need to have an approach that will improve our data and is inclusive. We need to be more of a wiki. Thanks, GerardM On 25 November 2015 at 04:57,
