Wikitext is simpler than what phototypesetter operators in the
1960s-1990s had to deal with, and they had a much better gender
balance.

Hi Rodrigo,
asking questions about a WLM competition would be the right time now
indeed. But then you should phrase your questions that way: are they still
planning to organize a WLM, how can you help them and what are they
planning budget/prize wise. You could also suggest to plan an evaluation
m
Well Lodewijk, they announce the values during the WLE, not before to
discuss (I wrote that in Meta), and more, they are trying to do a event
after the WLE that will cost ~9000 USD.
And they promised to do a WLM too, how much money they will spend on that
too. Furthermore, I tried to do in the soft
As you're sending this announcement email on June 1 (well, in my timezone)
and as that is a Sunday (in my timezone, a day off), I guess June 8 would
definitely be more reasonable, even though I expect most FDC-chapters will
have been working on the letter already.
I'm guessing the email got delaye

We do review them, or at least try to, whenever a group (chapter, user
group, thematic organisation) decides to have them, in order to make sure
they comply

Congratulations Wikimedia Ukraine on these milestones.
500,000 articles, 10 years as a language wiki, and 5 years
as an organization are great reasons to celebrate.

Hey all,
I realized at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin that many people do not know
that there is a phone app that you can use on your phone that searches for
places to take photos, and then provides walking directions for them. It’s

Dear Rodrigo,
As you probably realize, the Wiki Loves Earth competition is ongoing
already - and it is highly unlikely that things will change /during/ the
competition. Raising this right now, in this aggressive way (not going
towards a solution) is primarily obstructive.
