[Mike Peel]

Couldn't you do this with a combination of Wikidata items + Commons 
categories + Wikishootme?


Thanks,
Mike

It would be good to have a freely-licensed structural history of a city 
in this fashion, block by block. And something that refugees from a

[Samuel Klein]

Such a beautiful project Nikolay, thank you! With a wide range of locales
 (here is Mykolaiv
).
Do you know if they accept mundane houses and buildings? That might
overload the current interface.
And I wonder if a parallel interface into the same dataset that is
localized / backed up would be helpful.

Hi!
There is a Russian project  https://domofoto.ru  directly on that. IDK if 
there’s same projects on other languages.

[Wikimedia-l] Preserving cities and buildings, block by block

[Samuel Klein]

Are there any projects in the vein of Geograph ,
OSM, Yelp, or Wikipedia for people remembering and preserving images and
information about cities, city blocks, buildings?  Particularly for cities
that are damaged by disaster or war, this seems like a valuable thing to do
at the granularity of "the unit that individuals photograph, remember,
share with one another".

It would be good to have a freely-licensed structural history of a city in
this fashion, block by block. And something that refugees from a crisis
could do to preserve areas they frequented.

[Wikimedia-l] European Court of Human Rights ruling on the block of Wikipedia in Turkey

[Leighanna Mixter]

Hi everyone,

As many of you will recall, in 2019 we filed a petition with the European
Court of Human Rights

to lift the nearly three-year block of Wikipedia in Turkey. While the block
was lifted in 2020 following a ruling

from the Turkish Constitutional Court, our case proceeded in order to
evaluate whether the Turkish law used to issue the block violated free
expression rights. Our objective was to utilize the case to further our
efforts to protect the Wikimedia projects and free knowledge more broadly
from censorship going forward.

Today, the European Court of Human Rights announced

that it is dismissing the case, while still recognizing the importance of
our concerns at the time of our filing. It cited three reasons for this
dismissal: 1) the block was lifted in 2020; 2) the block was deemed a human
rights violation by the Turkish Constitutional Court in its December 2019
ruling
;
and 3) the Court believes the Turkish Constitutional Court capable of
effectively
addressing future problems related to violations of free expression online.
Additionally, the Court provided guidance that the over two years taken by
the Turkish Constitutional Court to address the violation may in the future
be seen as an excessive delay for governments to take action in cases of
website blocking.

Because our primary goal when we filed the case was to restore access to
Wikipedia in Turkey, we understand the Court’s decision and still see this
outcome as a win. The Court acknowledged a human rights violation in our
case, and affirmed that restoring access was an important step in
addressing the violation.

However, we also recognize that this ruling comes at a time when access to
knowledge continues to be under threat around the world, including in
Russia where authorities recently demanded the removal of content on
Wikipedia

related to the Russian government’s invasion of Ukraine. We will continue
to work with you all to defend the right of everyone to freely access and
participate in knowledge, today and into the future.

Read more about the decision in our statement

and help amplify the message using our social media resources on Diff

.

Best,

Leighanna Mixter

[Wikimedia-l] Save the date: Celtic Knot Wikimedia Language conference, July 1-2, online and onsite

[Léa Lacroix]

Hello all,

The Celtic Knot organizing team is very happy to announce that the
conference dedicated to minoritized languages on the Wikimedia projects
will be back for its 6th edition, on July 1-2, 2022
.

Broader than the Celtic family languages, the event gathers people from
communities and languages that are underrepresented on the Wikimedia
projects. It is a place where people working on growing and maintaining
their communities can meet, learn from each other, and support each other
on topics like community growth, technical tools, or collaboration with
partners. Wikidata, as the platform to centralize, organize, and distribute
multilingual content, is a strong focus of the event.

For the Celtic Knot 2022
, we want to
build a light and sharp program, with a *strong focus on skills and
knowledge exchange*. Thanks to the input from the community, we identified
several important topics that we will address during interactive workshops
and guided discussions. We will make sure that participants can connect
with people from like-minded growing communities, share their experiences
with others, and bring back what they learned to their communities.

This year, we’re experimenting with a *hybrid format for the conference*:
while the core program will take place entirely online on Friday, July 1st,
and Saturday, July 2nd, we will encourage local groups and language
communities to organize onsite events before, during or after the
conference. The core program will be available in replay to make sure that
the content is accessible asynchronously.

The program of the conference is still under construction, as well as the
concept for onsite events, participants support, and various other
logistical aspects. We will regularly post updates on the talk page of the
event on Meta
.

The core organizing team is composed of Daria Cybulska, Richard Nevell
(WMUK) and Léa Lacroix (WMDE). If you have ideas or suggestions, if you
would like to get involved in the conference as a helper, feel free to
contact any of us.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Celtic Knot!

On behalf of the organization team,
