Re: [Wikimedia-l] Brand Project: Who are we as a movement?

I would agree with this in principle. From what I have seen so far, it looks like either Snøhetta have not done their homework on how we operate, or they have the arrogance of PR agencies, don't care, and plan to spin their way through with smoke and mirrors, flashy pages with lots of buzz,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Brand Project: Who are we as a movement?

We just had an RfC on Meta which gave 90% opposes. I do not see how any serious rebranding discussions could still be happening after this result has become apparent. For me personally, the question is closed at least for several years. Best Yaroslav On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 8:48 PM Pine W

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Brand Project: Who are we as a movement?

Although Mike and I have differences of opinion about centralizing on the "Wikipedia" brand, one way in which I agree with Mike is that there are ways to have branding discussions that are not themselves controversial. Even if consensus was not reached, I for one would be more accepting of the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Brand Project: Who are we as a movement?

Hi all, I’m on the other side of things - I think it would be good to simplify our branding, and ‘Wikipedia’ is the obvious brand to go with. I’d love to see us talking about ‘Wikipedia Data’, and ‘Wikipedia Media, etc. (maybe with obvious cross-wiki tabs at the top of the projects!), without

Hello, First, a disclaimer that these comments aren't directed personally at you, Essie. Even if money was unlimited, I thought that Snøhetta deserved the community's trust, and I felt that WMF was a good steward of resources (all of which are questionable), I don't think that this project is a
