Hi all,
We’ve just reached a milestone with the deployment of Wikidata Infoboxes in
Wikimedia Commons categories: there are now over 3 million uses! [1] These
infoboxes are completely multilingual, and they automatically expand as more
information is added to Wikidata.

Hi Folks,
There is a proposal initiated by the Wikimedia Foundation to call ourselves
the "Wikipedia Network", "Wikipedia Movement" or simply "Wiki".
I strongly suggest that the Foundation should allocate time & resources
with the Wikimedia community fully involved in *identifying and resolving

Dear colleagues,
On behalf of Wikimedia Armenia, I congratulate all of us on the
establishment of the Wikimedia Foundation. It carries out a very important
mission in all corners of the world, ensuring such important activities
that contribute to free knowledge, content creation, and dissemination

Hoi,
Today I wrote a "swot analysis" [1]. What I want us to achieve is an
increased effectiveness in our aim to share the sum of all knowledge.
What I write is stark. I allow for a situation where Mr Trump remains
president. I contrast on the one hand that room for growth (think audience)

Hoi,
I do not translate but I do care. What I personally do is include data in a
structured manner. I do it for things I more or less care about.. It does
include awards, educated at, employed by, Ottoman history, Africa,
science.. The point in what I do is that much of these structures can be

In line with Asaf's suggestion that discussion stays on-wiki, there
has been initial discussion based on unambiguous example cases of

Truly wonderful. And the underlying tools have been useful even more

Dear all,
As Acting Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees since March
[1] I take full responsibility for this situation. I am truly sorry for all
the frustration this whole situation has caused to volunteers, who have
engaged in discussions expressing their concerns, and to the staff
Greetings,
Thanks for working on this response. I thank you and the board for the care
you have shown in this email. The upcoming August meeting is going to be an
important one, as I understand from the email. We will look forward to its
outcomes.
There have been concerns that opinions or voices ha
Hi Nat,
Thank you very much for managing to put out a statement in a reasonable
timeframe, despite the harsh conditions most of all endure now. I can only
imagine how hard it has been to get to that.
Above all, thank you a lot for the sincerity and for the courage on taking
a blame that I'm certai
What did the legal department have to say about The Wiki Foundation?
Will Ward end up with that one?
Does the executive staff and Board have a position on supporting the
.ia domain name for the Internet Archive, with the provision that
wikiped.ia is assigned to the Foundation in perpetuity?

Greetings,
Hope my mail finds you in the best of health and spirit. I like to take the

Yes, we all looking forward for a better possible outcome.
Stay healthy and be safe.

OK, you say that you take "full responsibility" for the situation. What
exactly does "full responsibility" entail? How will the relations between
the board and the communities differ compared to the moment *before* full
responsibility was taken?

"Movement"
Please stop calling us a "movement". I am an active Wikipedia contributor,
but I do not feel part of a movement. Know that I feel excluded when we are
referred to as a movement. I would guess that most Wikimedians do not

Wikimedia vs. Wikipedia
Our overall community centers around the current Wikimedia concept, not
Wikipedia. Naming the whole from one its parts is ambiguous, confusing, and
disrespectful to non-Wikipedia projects. The majority of the population of

Name of WMF
To me a trust implies one party relegating authority over a resource to a
second party, who is expected to manage it well, and return it at some
point to the first party or a third party. I do not see the WMF's role as
including such as a no

"We network around our best-known brand to connect the movement together".
That feels like marketing-speak. It is unclear what you are trying to
communicate. I do not think that contributors of non-WP projects want to
"network" around Wikipedia.
Thank you Nat. I'm Dutch, and the Dutch are known to be direct, and even I
find your extensive statement direct. That was your intent to do. Thanks, I
welcome that. I know nearly every other culture would prefer less direct
communication.
