Dear all,
Greetings from Berlin! This is another update on the movement strategy

chance to see so many old friends, and am looking forward to meeting with
many more of you in person. The movement strategy track of the confer

Right, this worries me too.
I know that Wikimedia doesn't enforce the copyright on the content
themselves, because they don't hold the relevant copyrights, the authors
do. But there seems to be no guidance for what _anyone_ can do to address
and correct large-scale violations. The guides on Wikipe
Dear all,
It's with deep sadness to announce the death of our friend and a dedicated
member of the Wikimedia community, Craig Franklin. I got this news on the
wall of his wife, Leanne Maree Franklin.
Franklin served as treasurer of Wikimedia Australia and as member of the
ombudsman commission.

Leigh, I disagree that all projects are hostile to outsiders. When someone
edit in a language they do not speak and use machine to translate contents
for example and refused to stop after multiple warnings, a block in such
case may not be considered an "hostile" response. That being said, I

Hoi,
The notion that unsourced articles need to be eradicated is fundamentally
so wrong. The notion should be; we are going to source the unsourced
articles and ensure that we provide the best information possible.

I have not always been happy in the past with the handling of deprecations, but
I really appreciate on how it is done for the PHPUnit upgrade (incl. provision
of compat layer and clear instructions on what to do).

This is off-topic (I presume) but the idea of the WMF increasing its
dependence on large corporate donors is beginning to trouble me. I want the
WMF to answer to our readers and volunteers not Bezos, Brin and Zuckerberg.
I say I presume this is off-topic because I presume the WMF isn’t, even

Agree with Gerard. We WANT Youtube, Facebook, and others to use our
content. That is one reason why we have released it under an open license
and I believe one reason why we have been so successful. We of course also
want them to provide appropriate attribution. I think this would be better

Indeed. It's a very noticeable problem at the Wikipedia in Portuguese.
During a workshop with librarians from the National Library last month, I
was kind of shocked by the huge amount of semi-automated warnings they were
receiving, some of them completely useless, as they were directed to

Hoi,
Maybe you know, but Katherine Mayer gave a talk at the CC conference The
subject was big companies using our content (it is not just writing) and
making a profit giving nothing / not much in return. The issue she raised
is that it may interfere with our collaboration model. People will
