[Wikimedia-l] The Day We Fight Back
Few days ago, I was reading about an initiative against mass surveillance named The Day We Fight Back, also is honoring to Aaron Swartz and SOPA Blackout Anniversary; many important websites are supporting this movement. Is not a call-to-action at all but I want to know if Wikimedia Foundation or Chapters are supporting this movement https://thedaywefightback.org/ Regards.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] The Day We Fight Back
Rather than thinking blackouts, it would be good to see proposals of releases of new public domain content in support of these ideals.

Asaf Bartov, 25/01/2014 03:12: Thanks! The most interesting datum I've noticed so far is the rate of active editor (5+ edits/month) retention among new contributors after six months, which is about 0.4%. Is active editor retention a metric defined somewhere? It's not in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WMF_standardized_editor_classes. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/WLM#New_users That (along with the easy-to-measure and already known sheer quanities of photos generated) seems to me to be the most robust number to use in evaluating WLM (and comparable) funding requests. 0.4% may be considered worthwhile or not enough, depending on local contexts, so I'm not drawing a universal conclusion from it, just noting it. See http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/wiki-loves-monuments-footprint/ for more.

You might like to analyse the stats page: https://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php It might not match 100% what the report says, as some images were deleted, but it should be pretty close.

[Wikimedia-l] Kumusha Takes Wiki: announcing new WiC in Ivory Coast
Hello everyone I am very happy to announce that we have found a wonderful person to be our Wikipedian in Community for our Kumusha Takes Wiki project in Ivory Coast. His name is Cyriac Gbogou. Born on the 02nd of September 1980 in Kpada (Soubré) village located in the south west of the country and the capital of Ivorian cocoa, Cyriac Gbogou runs for years a part of the African continent with his parents as a student-resident respectively in Senegal, Togo, Mali and Congo-Brazzaville. He finally returned to Côte d'Ivoire in 2001 and decided to pursue graduate studies in computer science. He holds an engineering degree in Computer Science. He gets married in August 2009. In 2010, he discovers the world of Web 2.0. That same year, Cyriac chooses to not follow his employer IBM which wanted to relocate its activities in Morocco because of the very sensitive period in Cote d’Ivoire. Loving risk and adventure, he stays to serve his country as volunteer in Akendewa (now former Secretary General). His passion for social networks has grown during the post-electoral crisis of 2011 working with other actors in the Ivorian web projects such as Civsocial #, # Wonzomai who have saved lives with the Internet use [1]. Cyriac is the Chairman of the Association des Blogueurs de Côte d'Ivoire (A.B.C.I) Since September 2012, Cyriac Gbogou is an independent consultant, a job he does with passion, as an advisor, speaker and trainer. He was named by his peers Village Chief of the Ivorian web community. You can also follow him on his blog where he speaks freely on topics: www.cyriacgbogou.ci Whilst Cyriac is not (yet) a wikipedian, he is quite knowledgeable with open source and related projects : he was involved in OSM Ivory Coast mapping and coordinating mapping party or was involved in the jerry project (http://youandjerrycan.org) including in the set up of Afripedia on a jerry server. More info about Kumusha here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Kumusha_Takes_Wiki/en#News Cyriac will have about two weeks to gain some familiarity with Wikimedia projects before heading to Cap Town for a month, to receive some training and start planning his activity in Ivory Coast. It would be great if some of you could welcome him on his (still red) talk page :) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Cyriac_Gbogou Florence/Anthere ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

Hi Jaime. Your inline replying format highly confuses me, but I tried to reconstruct what you meant to say and I believe it's what below.

I know what an active editor is, you'll see in the history that I contributed to the section you linked. I asked about the rate of active editor retention as Asaf called it, or... Six-month follow-up Active second quarter of retention follow-up (??) as mentioned in the page. Apart from the confusing terminology, you'll note that it doesn't match with the (draft?) definition https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Surviving_new_editor even with non-standard n=1, m=15, t_2=90 days and t_1 0 unless you arbitrarily pose T = end of September. You may want to align definitions a bit. I would like to point out that the overview page to the set of reports does contain a lot of important information about how things were defined and are reported in each programs evaluation report. If you mean https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/Overview#Recruitment_and_retention, it doesn't contain any definition for the metric.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wiki Loves Monuments] New Program Evaluation report: Wiki Loves Monuments
Hello Nemo, Sorry for the confusing in-line, I entered the conversation late, and appreciate your patience. I do not think I am understanding what definition information you are asking for. The definition of how we defined the windows for 3 and 6 month follow-up is written on the overview page in reference note number 1 and I have now added a second reference to the mediawiki reference page I shared as that is what the 5+/month is referenced from. The way the quarters are defined is also referenced in the main text of the report with some additional note references. As we are looking at retention of activeeditors at different follow-up points defined at 3 and 6 months (as indication of short and intermediate term outcomes) we have outlined how this was done as a more-or-less quarterly follow-up following the end of program events. So yes, the first quarter post event is October through December and the second January through March. Assessments are from Wikimetrics and based on a start day and time and end day and time, not on account creation as these other metrics do as we are evaluating outreach programs that have event dates and variable account creation dates. The goal of the metric that was was mainly to assess the number of active contributors that are actually recruited, survival has been included mostly for added understanding of the how this active requirement compares to survival (any activity in the window of interest). Still, I am not sure if this is answering you either. If you are simply suggesting we not look at retention at 3 and 6 month intervals but rather at 1 week, 2 months, and 6 months, as exampled on your page link, I must say that this is the first time for that suggestion and that would be something to discuss on the report talk page (or overview talk page). If you have additional questions or comments, please share them on the report talk pages where we would like these conversations to take place and be recorded.
