[Wikimedia-l] Invitation to Wikimedia Research Office Hours March 1, 2022

[Emily Lescak]

Hi all,


Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours this Tuesday, 2022-03-01, at 12:00-13:00 UTC (4:00 PT / 7:00
ET / 13:00 CET). Find your local time here
.

To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3]. You are welcome to add questions / items to the etherpad in advance,
or when you arrive at the session. Even if you are unable to attend the
session, you can leave a question that we can address asynchronously. If
you do not have a specific agenda item, you are welcome to hang out and
enjoy the conversation. More detailed information (e.g. about how to
attend) can be found here [4].

Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves more available to
answer research related questions that you as Wikimedia volunteer editors,
organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in your projects and
initiatives. Here are some example cases we hope to be able to support you
with:

   -

   You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
   should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
   know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
   For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
   in my wiki?
   -

   You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
   contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
   improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
   harder to find an answer for during an office hour. However, discussing
   them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
   work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
   -

   You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
   does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
   if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
   institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
   more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
   Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
   of you interested more closely in this space.
   -

   You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].


Hope to see many of you,
Emily on behalf of the WMF Research Team

[Wikimedia-l] Re: [Wikimedia Announcements] Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month: We are back in 2022!

[Florence Devouard]

Thank you for your clarification Anton.

I fully agree with your last statement and it is indeed worth pointing 
out that the articles related to Ukraine are likely to see a big 
increase in readership. Your effort is definitly very important.


I hope everyone stays safe though. Those are very dark times.

Hi. We at Wikimedia Ukraine are preparing a longer response to the 
concerns raised here, but in brief:
* The challenge overall and the CentralNotice campaign in particular 
were planned long before, as a general effort to enrich Wikipedia on 
Ukraine-related topics, not as a specific political statement. Its 
first edition was held last year within similar dates and advertised 
similarly. Its idea first emerged back in 2018, and we've been 
actively working to organize it since 2020.
* The challenge is supported by the Ukrainian government, but it has 
no influence on the content of articles, and neither does Wikimedia 
Ukraine. All participants have to follow relevant Wikipedia rules. 
Organizers only provide suggested topics for the challenge and prizes 
for most active participants (dependent on the level of activity, not 
the content of articles they created), as well as contribute to 
promotion efforts. Hopefully, we'll be able to ship physical prizes 
despite the Russian aggression; otherwise, we'll find other ways to 
award winners.
* On a personal note – advancing free knowledge by creating and 
expanding Wikipedia articles is a powerful tool to fight 
authoritarianism and unfreedom. Regardless of whether you want to 
support Ukraine (as I think the world should do), developing free 
knowledge in all ways compatible with Wikipedia principles and rules 
is the goal we're all united around.

[Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga]

These are days when geography, culture and topics about Ukraine will be most 
consulted worldwide. I'm trying myself to make some articles about geography at 
eu.wikipedia, regardless of my opinion about the war itself.

BUT... "diplomacy month" seems a bad title for this effort at the current 
moment.

Take care outside.

Given previous experience, past examples of this project editors are free to 
make any contributions so I see no issue with governments, institutions or even 
private corporations supporting knowledge sharing activity.   The best time to 
share knowledge is now, the second best is when its under threat, what we cant 
do is share knowledge once its destroyed.

What I do see as unacceptable is saying we shouldn't be sharing knowledge 
because a society and cultures' future is being threatened. We need to be doing 
everything we can to ensure we collect and document as much as we can.  We have 
seen many museums and heritage places lost in the last 20 years due various 
natural and unnatural events.
