Hi Jake,
Thanks for the news. I am glad that there will be another opportunity
for a Wikimedian in Residence.
However, I request that none of us use all caps in subjects on the
mailing lists, and that we be very limited in our use of tags such as
"important". There is a large volume of
Hi all,
Amazingly, the U.S. science and technology policy office is considering
making *all* publicly funded research *open access*.
If you are a U.S. citizen, PLEASE comment by March 16th.
Hi all,
Annual Reviews, an independent, nonprofit scholarly research publisher,
seeks an enthusiastic Wikipedian-in-Residence (WIR).
The aim of this role is to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of the sciences by
citing expert articles from Annual Reviews’ journals. The WIR will engage
with Wikipedia
This is a slight tangent, but please let's be slightly more precise
with wording about what free media content Wikimedia Commons
legitimately hosts.
The scope of Wikimedia Commons is to host all free media with any
rationale for "reasonable educational reuse".[1] The vast majority of

Lets move this along towards a solution;
Maybe the simplest solution is to create a delinker type bot that flags
images which were used on Wikidata but the data item has since been deleted
thus flagging the file for review on Commons.
This addresses the concerns over spam Wikidata id's being
Thanks for this clarity Paulo.
Is there a way to move more of the underlying policies onto a public wiki
rather than a closed one, to limit some of this confusion?

Hi Ciell
ESEAP team and the WMF are meeting later this week with discussion on this
very issue on the agenda. As it stands we have been following the changes
and recommendations of many countries in relation to travel to Thailand and
Bangkok. The WMF team is also following developments, as you
Not really, drawing practical advices/lessons (e.g. "differentiate among
kinds of COIs") is the only sensible path towards solving issues.
"Let's be kind" is close to a tautology.

Hi Gnangarra,
With the Corona virus spreading rapidly around the world: can you tell me
(us) something about the scenario for Wikimania when the virus would still
be heavily active in August?
People might want to wait a bit longer before applying, or maybe want to
know more about cancelling their
In our case the a few volunteers running (organizing) edit-a-thons, met
with a few key persons who patrollers to discuss the dilemma. And so
changes and new variants for the patrollers work were introduced, at the
same time as the introduction to newbees by volunteers was somewhat
changed.
The OP is misleading. The issue is not with Commons at all, but with OTRS.
As far as I know, Commons never, ever, deleted a file which was in use in
any Wikimedia project, with the notable expectation of copyvios. Otherwise,
use in *any* wikimedia project = on scope for Commons.
Apparently some
I can say that in Italian Wikipedia, in many edit-a-thon that WikiDonne
organized, in time we had often cases where the whole newbie's user page
was deleted immediately, without even warning. Because inside was write for
example "this is a test" or because the page was empty.
Needless to tell you
Hello Peaceray,
There are many Wikipedians like you who continuously dedicate themselves to
well receive and help newbies, being absolutely decisive in keeping and
improving the projects health. But I was referring specifically to the core
community, the one which regularly frequent village pumps
We are a small version that welcome all contributions that enhance
value. So we do not use coi to say no, we only use coi when people enter
biased statements, or get angry when their contributions gets neutralized.
And we do not use templates in those cases, we do not even have ones, we

Its an interest aspect of speaking generically to describe any issue that
the demand for links turns a discussion from general to specific that says.

Hi all!
Just to note that I support keeping the "Wikimedia" brand rather than renaming
to "Wikipedia" because there are several other important and popular wikimedia
projects.

For you, maybe. Others have already given helpful replies.
My question was generic, and not about the specific case I gave as an example.

Hoi,
Commons is a project with a specific purpose. It is to host all media that
fits the use of any other project. As it is English Wikipedia notability
standards are used to justify why files are not to be kept on Commons. This
is contrary to its very purpose, it is not acceptable and it is not

I have 15 years experience on the coal face, and now more than 10 years
actively encouraging others to part of that. I come from the time where
the community was growing really fast and templates werent available for

Like Peter, I do not see a clear connection to the proposed rebranding.
Threads of this sort would be more constructive if they were framed in a
way that does not unnecessarily tie in every other issue one might have
