Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Chapters] [Affiliates] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria

First of all, thanks to the AffCom for defining the criteria. I am positively surprised and impressed that they managed to do it since Wikimania when I was told in a private chat that I could forget about having my user group recognised as a chapter this year. Thank you all, who made this possible

10 of them will be able to participate at the survey in their own language. Why was the opinion of 49 user groups considered less worth that a delay of two months? Best regards, User:Lord Bumbury / Nikola Kalchev Wikimedians of Bulgaria, a Wikimedia CEE Spring International organiser On Sun, Jun 5

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Cross-wiki notifications beta feature now available on all wikis

Thank you very much, Catrope! This is indeed very helpful for people who are mostly active on one wiki, but want to check meta and commons every now and then, too. One dream is fulfilled. The, next, to be able to have wikidata items in the watchlist of my home wiki (=bgwiki) is in line. Best
