Re: [Wikimedia-l] Reviewing our brand system for our 2030 goals

The idea of rebranding Wikimedia to Wikipedia will create FAR more problems than it solves, specially in places where identifying ourselves with Wikipedia could create real life problems to affiliates. Let's think on making our product better, because is not a brand problem, is an obsolescence p

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Reviewing our brand system for our 2030 goals

From the first text: " Explore new naming conventions for the Foundation and affiliate groups that use Wikipedia rather than Wikimedia." I also think that Wikipedia is a much stronger brand than Wikimedia is, but I have been talking about this issue the last weeks in different places with way

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Reviewing our brand system for our 2030 goals

I also think that there are some branding issues, but let me focus just in the opposite way: Wikimedia is not a bug, is a feature. When you say you represent WikiMedia, then someone asks about why an M ad not a P and gives you the opportunity to talk about our free knowledge ecosystem, that is n

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Reviewing our brand system for our 2030 goals

Thanks Andrew for the insights. I agree with most of what you have proposed. Actually there's a way to make everything easier: The Wiki Foundation. But it would create new problems with non-WMF-wikis. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https:

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Dispute between Common and Outreach

As I am the author of the post, some remarks: * Commons is, indeed, the only [cloud] storage for file in most of the Wikipedias. Making an accusation of using Commons as a storage place is unfair and nonsense. * Communication could be better, of course, but we don't have to think on exp

Well.. there where instructions. All the videos were supervised before uploading, all the songs were perfectly cited at the descriptions and all the own work was marked as own work. This are the instructiones to follow when uploading to Commons. From: Wikimedia-l

A good question to ask would be why the admin group is not growing. And maybe (maybe) we can find a common answer to both problems pointed here. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and h
