I LOVE the Wikipedia way of working - result-oriented, respectful dialogues around facts I HATE power-games and misuse of given authority, both in general in life and especially in the Wikimedia movement I ADMIRE the functionaries in France who have stood firm in their own integrity and

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimédia France - informations sur la situation actuelle

Der Lodewijk, Thank you for the message, the threshold has indeed been reached, and the WMFR board has communicated that they will have the GA asap. The official number of people requesting the GA is of 73 as of now. The emphasis on democratic chapters is indeed important. People are now

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimédia France - informations sur la situation actuelle

Thanks Natacha. I see that 70 members have requested a General Assembly to be held. I remember from WMFR's bylaws that 25% of the membership can force the board to call a General Assembly, or do it themselves. Is this request formulated in such a manner? What is the required threshold? This is a

Dear All, As some anglophone wikimedians wanted an English version, we have translated the time line in English concerning what is happening in the French chapter, although surely we still have to clarify and correct mistakes. You can find it here:

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimédia France - informations sur la situation actuelle

Thank you Samuel and Chris for this work of transparency you guys have done. I'm so sad to see how the board of Wikimedia France, my former fellows, can lie and libel amazing people such as Caroline, Christophe or Florence. Sincerely, Le 13 juillet 2017 à 04:03, Samuel Klein

Yesterday, a few hours after the whole membership of Wikimedia France was served that litterature masterpiece from its board (ED), someone told me : "any wikipedian reading that letter will add a {{refnec}} at the end of all sentences" Since I was mentionned, I would like to renew my

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimédia France - informations sur la situation actuelle

How grotesque. Don't sue your own members. Don't publicly trash a former staff member: it is obscene. Samuel, Émeric, Édouard, Marie-Alice, Florian: Please recant and retract this entire unfortunate statement. It is beneath you all, particularly the name-calling and conspiracy theory. Talk to

Hi Chris, Great, thank you! I’ve integrated some parts as another person was translating this morning. A first version of the TL in english should be made available today. Kind regards Natacha > Le 12 juil. 2017 à 10:14, Chris Keating a écrit : > >

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimédia France - informations sur la situation actuelle

Everything else aside, the apparent fact that the ED of WMFr hired her husband in any capacity is a clear sign of serious dysfunction and poor governance controls. If the association has had half its board resign and is accusing Anthere and Christophe Henner of misconduct, it suggests that WMFr's

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Wikimédia France - informations sur la situation actuelle

I am not closely familiar with the issuse at WMFR right now, and I would suggest that those here that speak French probably already have a strong view on this, and those who do not probably do not know enough to have an educated view on what is happening. With that being said, if WMFR staff are

I thought this email from Wikimedia France was worth wider circulation within the movement. Topics covered include: * How WMFr feels community members are "destabilising and denigrating" the chapter, and how Wikimedia France is responding by expelling some of those people from the organisation,
