Re: [Wikimedia-l] Core content policy

I agree with Strainu's comments above. I described some issues with adopting policies and ill-fitting policies under the Community Governance capacity page, in the Community Capacity Development program: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Capacity_Development/Community_governance A.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Strategy] August 1: Strategy update - Preparing for Wikimania, the strategic direction, and New voices insights (#22)

IMO we need to work on the issue of undisclosed paid editing from a number of different sides: 1) We need to get the word out to the wider world that paying someone to write your Wikipedia article is inappropriate. We also need to publicly state which companies have been banned / blocked from

Verifiability can be very different. For example oral sources. JP On Tue, Aug 8, 2017, 05:20 John Erling Blad, wrote: > Policy should not have local variations, unless you want to create > something different from Wikipedia. This is about core content policies. > Those are no

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia 2030: Sharing the draft strategic direction / (#24!)

Hi Katherine, Thanks for sharing the draft. It looks like there's an attempt to create a grand vision in that document. I feel that the document should be simplified and shortened. I'm concerned about scope creep. It looks to me like the scope of the vision is so sweeping that WMF is moving in

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Chief Product Officer search and job description

One would certainly aspire to be on time and on budget, but the reality of complex engineering projects is that surprises happen. Developing a new product isn't like building products on an assembly line where time and cost are relatively easy to predict. I think that looking for managers who are

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Chief Product Officer search and job description

Pine, If you allow yourself to think that on time and on budget are optional, then you will certainly not get them. I would expect the WMF to aspire to deliver products that are fit for purpose, on time and on budget. I would also expect the staff and, especially, management to be held

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Chief Product Officer search and job description

Hi Joady, Does the title "Chief Product Officer" mean that WMF intends to revert the name of the Audiences department back to the Product department? "On time and budget" is a goal that can be very difficult to achieve with complex engineering projects that often encounter surprises. WMF has

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Core content policy

Policy should not have local variations, unless you want to create something different from Wikipedia. This is about core content policies. Those are no original research, verifiability, and neutral point of view. The one most don't follow is neutral point of view, where projects rewrite world

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update on Wikimédia France

Thank you Natacha for the update on the French situation. What would really make me happy this week would be to witness a goodwill or wikilove gesture by the French board: let the members who were recently expelled join up again so that we can hold some meaningful discussions. Gabe Le 8 août 2017

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update on Wikimédia France
