Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

I too think that an RfC is a good option here. I suggest having multiple questions in the RfC. Questions could include, "What should the organization that is currently known as the Wikimedia Foundation be named?", "Should there be a unifying brand for the online projects such as Wikipedia,

Now imagine trying to explain the difference between a chapter, the Foundation and the community when they have the same name... Lodewijk On Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at 1:41 PM Isaac Olatunde wrote: > We sometimes spend several minutes trying to explain to potentials partners > the difference between

[Wikimedia-l] Update on Wikimedia site and system outages

Hello everyone, By now you are likely aware that the Wikimedia sites suffered from a relatively significant botnet driven DDOS attack on September 6th, taking them offline in several countries throughout the day. This primarily affected Wikipedia access in Europe and the Middle East. We posted a

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

Yes, let's see an actually public RfC on this. We shouldn't have to argue about what the support/oppose proportions are, we should see it right there on an on-wiki page where anyone is free to review them. Todd On Sat, Sep 7, 2019 at 2:06 PM David Gerard wrote: > I concur, it sounds sensible.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

I concur, it sounds sensible. (I'll note, I'm not actually against the name change proposal - but it's got to be presented to the community properly.) On Sat, 7 Sep 2019 at 20:50, Kiril Simeonovski wrote: > > HI David, > > Yes, it stands to reason to announce on all wikis in a similar way as

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

HI David, Yes, it stands to reason to announce on all wikis in a similar way as the announcements about board or steward elections. Best, Kiril On Sat, Sep 7, 2019 at 9:46 PM David Gerard wrote: > On all wikis? > > On Sat, 7 Sep 2019 at 19:19, Yaroslav Blanter wrote: > > > > Right. > > > > I

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

Right. I guess a central notice about an RfC would be appropriate. Cheers Yaroslav On Sat, Sep 7, 2019 at 8:16 PM Kiril Simeonovski < kiril.simeonov...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > It seems like there is a clear consensus to open an RfC on Meta about this, > so we can safely move forward

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

Hi all, It seems like there is a clear consensus to open an RfC on Meta about this, so we can safely move forward with it and close this thread. Otherwise, we will most likely keep up boggling our minds with the 20-per-cent metric and endlessly discuss how unfortunate is this for the global

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

Given the typical response rate for polling is extremely low, even among groups of people who agreed to be polled, the 20% metric is absurd. If you put out some random notice among a million other emails to 9,000 people on various lists submitting a proposition to change the name to Fart Factory

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

I’m against and sincerly I don’t trust this datas (80% agrees? Are you kidding me? I’ve seen the meta discussion). I think a Meta CLEAR VOTE as suggested here is the best way. Imposing a change like this is a wrong decision. Regards. > Il giorno 6 set 2019, alle ore 05:49, Zack McCune ha >

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community feedback and next steps on movement brand proposal

Hoi, The right question here: how have you supported the sister projects in the past. The follow question: Branding is about getting attention for products. How will the sister projects benefit from more attention to Wikipedia? The point is we have not marketed the products from sister projects.
