Re: [Wikimedia-l] extend mediawiki software to allow append a group, and COI to an edit
Hi rupert, I think this requester feature has merit, as it provides a tool for communities to use for this purpose (COI) and others. One possible implementation is the tag system already part of the Abuse Filter extension. Bug 18670 requests the tag system be more flexible, allowing false positives to be addessed, and would also allow self-tagging of edits. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18670 On Feb 22, 2014 10:26 PM, rupert THURNER rupert.thur...@gmail.com wrote: hi, could wmf please extend the mediawiki software in the following way: 1. it should knows groups 2. allow users to store an arbitrary number of groups with their profile 3. allow to select one of the groups joined to an edit when saving 4. add a checkbox COI to an edit, meaning potential conflict of interest 5. display and filter edits marked with COI in a different color in history views 6. display and filter edits done for a group in a different color in history views 7. allow members of a group to receive notifications done on the group page, or when a group is mentioned in an edit/comment/talk page. reason: currently it is quite cumbersome to participate as an organisation. it is quite cumbersome for people as well to detect COI edits. the most prominent examples are employees of the wikimedia foundation, and GLAMs. users tend to create multiple accounts, and try to create company accounts. the main reason for this behaviour are (examples, but of course valid general): * have a feedback page / notification page for the swiss federal archive for other users * make clear that an edit is done private or as wmf employee this then would allow the community to create new policies, e.g. the german community might cease using company accounts, and switch over to this system. this proposal is purely technical. current policies can still be applied if people do not need something else, e.g. wmf employees may continue to use sue gardner (wmf) accounts. what you think? best regards, rupert --- swissGLAMour, http://wikimedia.ch ___ 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 ___ 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
Re: [Wikimedia-l] extend mediawiki software to allow append a group, and COI to an edit
I don't know if this is a broadly shared opinion, but like Rupert, I think this is too difficult to step-in as an organisation. This is in particular true if you want to do it on an international/multi-language level. GLAMs, which are the organisations we want to treasure, are impacted among others. Read this report from Switzerland for example: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/January_2014/Contents/Switzerland_report This is of course the duty of each language community to decide how to deal with this thematic. However, Mediawiki can play a role by helping to achieve as much as possible transparency. That the reason why I think these concrete propositions are discussion worth. I strongly believe that if the tool allows us to better take in consideration and track Corporate personhood contributions then the whole debate will be far less passionate, easier to conduct, and at the end better solutions will emerge.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] extend mediawiki software to allow append a group, and COI to an edit
No, I mean, that's what article talk page is for. It's close to useless to get a contributor admit COI by ticking a box. 1) He won't do it. 2) It's much better to add a box to ?action=edit, when a page is created, asking the contributor to type something in manually (what motivated you to create article? please disclose conflict of interest and affiliations to help us help you.). Stop adding complexity, bureaucracy and terms. The learning curve is full enough of paperwork, terms, badges, and reviewing as is. On Sun, 23 Feb 2014, at 16:47, Gerard Meijssen wrote: Hoi, Why ?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Ukraine -- is everyone safe?
For those of you who don't read Ukrainian, a quick ad-hoc translation of the blog post. So sorry for the loss of a fellow Ukrainian and such a bright young member of the Wikimedia movement :( * * * Wikipedian Igor Kostenko dies on the Maidan. February 20, 2014, during the protests in Kiev, Igor Kostenko – an active contributor to the Ukrainian Wikipedia, journalist and geography student – died tragically. Igor Kostenko was born December 31, 1991, in the village of Zubrets in the Buchach region of Ternopil. After graduating from high school, he attended Ivan Franko University in Lviv, where he was in his fifth year of study in the department of geography, majoring in Organizational Management. In addition to his studies, he worked as a journalist for the publication Sports Analysis. Igor was an active contributor to the Ukrainian Wikipedia, writing under the username Ig2000.[1] Igor registered an account on July 23, 2011, and in just that month began writing his first articles. In two and a half years, he wrote over 280 articles and made over 1,600 edits. He had a wide range of encyclopedic interests – he wrote articles on sports topics (soccer, Formula One), geography, economics, and the history of the Ukrainian military. His article on the Nezamozhnyk destroyer of the Ukrainian and Soviet fleet in the first half of the 20th century[2] was acknowledged for its quality by the community and achieved the status of Good article. Additionally, he contributed many updates on sports events to Wikinews. Igor was also active in promoting Ukrainian Wikipedia on social media, through which he sought to gain more contributors. He was an administrator of the Ukrainian Wikipedians Facebook page,[3] where he regularly posted interesting facts from Wikipedia. In August 2013 he proposed hosting a Wiki Flashmob – inviting a large group of Ukrainians to participate in a day of article-writing on Wikipedia. The Wiki Flashmob was planned for January 20, 2014, the 10-year anniversary of Ukrainian Wikipedia, but due to the tragic events in the country, the event was cancelled. Igor believed that the flashmob would help fill Wikipedia with thousands of new articles in the course of a day and proposed a strategy to realize his dream, but unfortunately, he did not live to see it become a reality. On February 18, 2014, along with other students from Lviv, Igor came to Kiev to the Euromaidan, because he wanted Ukraine to be led by people with a patriotic spirit. On February 20th, during a protest on Instytutskaya Street, Igor died tragically: he bravely went ahead with a shield, but he was shot by two bullets, one of which struck him in the head... Today, February 23, Igor was buried in his home town of Buchach. Thousands of people accompanied him on his final journey – both students from Lviv and residents of Ternopil. In honor of Igor and the tens of others who died on the Euromaidan,[4] on February 21, the community decided to modify the logo of the Ukrainian Wikipedia with a black ribbon as a symbol of mourning. The editors of Ukrainian Wikipedia and Wikimedia Ukraine offer their condolences to the friends and family of Igor Kostenko. A page has been created on Wikipedia where you can leave your condolences.[5] Memory eternal... 1. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87:Ig2000 2. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA_(%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BC%D1%96%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D1%8C) 3. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ukwiki/ 4. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%85_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%B2_%D0%84%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%83 5. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8F_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0:Ig2000/%D0%9F%D0%B0%D0%BC%27%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%8C On Sun, Feb 23, 2014 at 1:16 PM, Amir E.

I'd recommend filing bugs for structured information about groups, profiles, the ability to join/leave groups, activity feeds per group, and more. This is something that is of general interest, and is not specific to COI-related issues at all. Gryllida's comment was a bit abrasive but is a correct understanding of the challenge here I think, in terms of creating richer kinds of information about types of edits/editors without making a user do unnecessary extra work. Imagine if there is essentially as many group types as there are categories, for instance. It probably makes more sense to have collections of pages associated with a group, so that we can generate a feed of group activity not by making the user select a group when saving, but automatically. So for example: I'm in Group:Beer and I edit the article on Pilsner, so my edits show in a feed of edits by Group:Beer members to articles in that subject. In the long run, we should start creating structured information about topical groups, and let people access it both through a group page as well as some kind of editor profile. However, it's not going to happen in the next calendar year, so I'm not sure it's a good interim solution to the problem of how to make COI disclosures easier. AbuseFilter also is honestly probably not the right solution, even if self-tagging existed.

We have died; remember us. --Archibald MacLeish Sent from my iPhone James Alexander Legal and Community Advocacy Wikimedia Foundation +1 415-839-6885 x6716 On Feb 23, 2014, at 17:01, Maryana Pinchuk mpinc...@wikimedia.org wrote: For those of you who don't read Ukrainian, a quick ad-hoc translation of the blog post. So sorry for the loss of a fellow Ukrainian and such a bright young member of the Wikimedia movement :( * * * Wikipedian Igor Kostenko dies on the Maidan. February 20, 2014, during the protests in Kiev, Igor Kostenko – an active contributor to the Ukrainian Wikipedia, journalist and geography student – died tragically. Igor Kostenko was born December 31, 1991, in the village of Zubrets in the Buchach region of Ternopil. After graduating from high school, he attended Ivan Franko University in Lviv, where he was in his fifth year of study in the department of geography, majoring in Organizational Management. In addition to his studies, he worked as a journalist for the publication Sports Analysis. Igor was an active contributor to the Ukrainian Wikipedia, writing under the username Ig2000.[1] Igor registered an account on July 23, 2011, and in just that month began writing his first articles. In two and a half years, he wrote over 280 articles and made over 1,600 edits. He had a wide range of encyclopedic interests – he wrote articles on sports topics (soccer, Formula One), geography, economics, and the history of the Ukrainian military. His article on the Nezamozhnyk destroyer of the Ukrainian and Soviet fleet in the first half of the 20th century[2] was acknowledged for its quality by the community and achieved the status of Good article. Additionally, he contributed many updates on sports events to Wikinews. Igor was also active in promoting Ukrainian Wikipedia on social media, through which he sought to gain more contributors. He was an administrator of the Ukrainian Wikipedians Facebook page,[3] where he regularly posted interesting facts from Wikipedia. In August 2013 he proposed hosting a Wiki Flashmob – inviting a large group of Ukrainians to participate in a day of article-writing on Wikipedia. The Wiki Flashmob was planned for January 20, 2014, the 10-year anniversary of Ukrainian Wikipedia, but due to the tragic events in the country, the event was cancelled. Igor believed that the flashmob would help fill Wikipedia with thousands of new articles in the course of a day and proposed a strategy to realize his dream, but unfortunately, he did not live to see it become a reality. On February 18, 2014, along with other students from Lviv, Igor came to Kiev to the Euromaidan, because he wanted Ukraine to be led by people with a patriotic spirit. On February 20th, during a protest on Instytutskaya Street, Igor died tragically: he bravely went ahead with a shield, but he was shot by two bullets, one of which struck him in the head... Today, February 23, Igor was buried in his home town of Buchach. Thousands of people accompanied him on his final journey – both students from Lviv and residents of Ternopil. In honor of Igor and the tens of others who died on the Euromaidan,[4] on February 21, the community decided to modify the logo of the Ukrainian Wikipedia with a black ribbon as a symbol of mourning. The editors of Ukrainian Wikipedia and Wikimedia Ukraine offer their condolences to the friends and family of Igor Kostenko. A page has been created on Wikipedia where you can leave your condolences.[5] Memory eternal... 1. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87:Ig2000 2. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA_(%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BC%D1%96%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D1%8C) 3. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ukwiki/ 4. https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D0%BE%D0%BA_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%B3%D0%B8%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%85_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D1%96%D0%B2_%D0%84%D0%B2%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%B4%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%83 5.
