[Wikimedia-l] What does leadership mean in the Wikimedia movement? Presentation on Thursday, Nov 16

[Maria Cruz]

Hi all!

Since July 2016 [1], the Learning and Evaluation team has been invested in
understanding what leadership means in our movement, and how we can best
support it. On Thursday, November 16 at 9 am PST (1700 UTC), we will host a
public meeting to share what we have learned so far, and how we have been
working to support community leaders. Follow the stream here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJbg2w0RnFk and ask questions via IRC
(#wikimedia-office).

The first step was the Leadership Development Dialogue, a conversation
about what leadership means for our communities, and how the Wikimedia
Foundation can best support it. It was hosted by the Learning and
Evaluation team, part of the Community Engagement department.

The conversation touched on topics like what words best suited this area of
work, and also what skills identified a good leader, and how we could best
collaborate across the movement to provide support within our existing
infrastructures (e.g., Learning Days [2] and the Wikimedia Resource Center
[3]) and beyond.

What does this mean to your local community and your work? How can you join
these efforts?

Join us to learn more about what we have learned from community members
about leadership in the movement, and where we want to go next.
Participation is encouraged via IRC (#wikimedia-office). A recording of the
event will be available later on our youtube channel.

Hope to see many of you there!

Best,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia movement under DMCA attack!

[Ανώνυμος Βικιπαιδιστής]

I' m sorry to hear that Portuguese Wikipedia has similar problems as 
Greek Wikipedia. Being the victim of harassment from administrators of 
Greek Wikipedia (they post my real sex, name and email and archived my 
personal data for future use to threaten me and the wikipedians who help 
me, telling me that my harassment won t stop just in wikipedia but and 
in other social media as the had done in the past) which led me to stop 
editing even tho I'm a 100wikidayer and 100wikicommonsdayer and 
participated in an international conference here in Greece presenting 
the work that the community have done in Wikipedia. I think that letting 
fellow wikipedians know about this kind of problems is crucial for the 
improvement of community health because it can start some actions to 
resolve such cyber crimes. From what I understand Wikimedia foundation 
is not really interested of helping women who are being harassed as long 
as the bullying is not reported to the police and the bullies are useful 
in wikipedia projects as for example hosting a cee meeting or wikimania 
in Greece. They are even rewarded with trips and let them participate in 
projects such as women in Red, which is actually really funny if you 
think about it. The bullies who sent women away from wikipedia are 
getting grands for contacting workshops to find women who would like to 
participate in wikipedia. :P They present themselves as educators in 
Greece but really who would you like persons like that teaching their kids?
There is always a standard answer from wmf when someone complains of 
being harassed: they say that this person is bitterful and not talking 
with courtesy. In my case SUSA even implied that me (the victim) should 
contacted my bullies and ask them politely to stop harassing me and did 
absolutely nothing to help me. You see I m only a volunteer and not a 
professional wikimedian so I m not really important to them.
I really hope the issues in Portuguese Wikipedia will resolve quickly 
because I know how stressful and sad these situations can be not only 
for the people involved but for all the community.

A message from your list moderators:

This thread does not belong on this list.

It is spillover of a long and bitter conflict in the Portuguese community,
and this list's membership is not well situated to contribute to a solution
through discussion on this list.  Those particularly interested and able
can participate in relevant threads on the Portuguese Wikipedia.

However, moving the mutual recriminations onto this list is escalation that
can only upset people and exacerbate the conflict, and is not an effective
way to seek help.

As was mentioned, the matter involves allegations of harassment --
investigated by the Support and Safety team in the Community Engagement
department at WMF -- as well as legal action.  Both avenues would not
benefit from partial and probably-biased context shared on this list.

The parties in conflict should continue to seek a modus vivendi on the wiki
they share, on-wiki, as well as through the channels they are already
pursuing.  Smearing the other side on this list won't accomplish anything.

Accordingly, *please stop posting on this thread*.  We have also placed the
Brazilians involved in this conflict on temporary moderation, to prevent
further escalation.

(putting on my WMF hat for a moment -- As a further point of context, both
sides have at one point requested WMF intervention in Brazil.  WMF has not
yet announced whether and how it would intervene, though several
alternatives have been discussed. Stay tuned.)

Thank Chico and Henrique for your reports and related links.

I encourage both of you to document further this topic. But as the

mailing

list format might quickly turn it into a flameware, to avoid list
moderators some disagreeable work, you could preferably find more suited
place to develop your points. Punctual feedback on the list to signal
creation or update of additional external resources is welcome, as far as
I'm concerned.

You might, inter alia, use wikimedia-timeline[1] to generate an overview
of main statements you are claiming, each linked to related resources

which

let reader deepen their inquiry on the topic if they have interest and
resources to do so.
