Re: [Wikimedia-l] photography restrictions at the Olympics

[Peter Coombe]

Unfortunately people will still be bombarded with coverage of it from
everywhere else, so probably a futile gesture.

We may not be able to get photos of the glamorous sporting events to
illustrate our articles, but there are plenty of associated events
that ought to be documented which the IOC can't prevent you from
photographing and freely licensing: transport gridlock, surface-to-air
missiles on rooftops, soldiers drafted in to cover security etc etc.

 Hey by the way, do you know good free/libre translation tools? Especialy
 when it come to idiomatic locutions, the best free(/non-libre) online tool
 I currently know is linguee[1] which built a translation database, mainly
 with UN documents.

 I don't know for the statute of UN documents, but the idea to give you a
 set of human translated equivalents is very interesting. And I think it may
 be an idea to launch such a project within wikimedia, based on not a
 moving target text translations, like texts on wikisource for example.
 Would that interest anyone else ?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [X-POST] Universal Language Selector(ULS) Deployment - Phase 1

[Peter Coombe]

What is the rationale for moving ULS from the personal toolbar to the
interlanguage links on some sites? I find this change odd:

* makes location and appearance of ULS inconsistent between sites
* personal toolbar seems the conventional place for per-account settings
and tools
* features it is replacing like WebFonts live in the personal toolbar
* interlanguage links are something rather different, taking the user to a
wholly different site

 Hello,

 The Universal Language Selector (ULS)[1] provides a flexible way to
 configure and deliver language settings like interface language,
 fonts, and input methods (keyboard mappings). It combines the features
 of two earlier Mediawiki extensions Narayam[2] and WebFonts[3]. From
 June 11, 2013 on, ULS will be made available to all Wikimedia wikis in
 5 phases[4].

 # Phase 1: In the first phase, ULS will replace the Narayam and
 WebFonts extensions on 84 wikis[5]. User preferences from the replaced
 extensions will not be preserved. Affected communities will be
 informed by the Wikimedia Language Engineering team of the upcoming
 change.

 # Phase 2: In the 5 weeks that follow, ULS will be deployed on
 Wikipedias in size 11-20,

 # Phase 3: All projects without language versions

 # Phase 4: English language Wikipedia

 # Phase 5:  All other wikis

 The ULS can be visible in two ways:

 1. In the sidebar for wikis with language versions, like Wikipedia, or
 2. In the personal toolbar at the top of wiki pages for wikis without
 language versions, like Wikimedia Commons and Meta-Wiki.

 Based on the geographic location of users, the initial set of language
 preferences is presented. Users can set the input methods and fonts to
 that they want to use. Logged-in users can also change the language
 for the MediaWiki menu items.

 ULS is already available on several Wikimedia wikis like Wikimedia
 Commons[6] and Meta-Wiki[7]. The beta installation of English
 Wikipedia on Wikimedia Labs[8] shows what will be available as the
 look and feel. A cog icon is present in the “Languages” section of the
 sidebar menu. Clicking the cog icon opens the Language settings panel
 that can be used to set the display and input settings.

 Please have a look at the Universal Language Selector feature
 description[9] or the Frequently Asked Questions[10] for more detailed
 information.

 Thank you.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] An idea that may improve Wikipedia's fundraising

[Peter Coombe]

Yes MZ, agreed that this is would be good to have documented on meta. In
fact this has been raised in our internal discussion already.

At the moment one of my side projects is a major overhaul of the
fundraising pages on meta, and I plan to incorporate aims and principles
into this prominently. I'm hoping to post a draft in the next few weeks,
and will post to this list when I do.

 Hi.

 I think establishing fundraising principles and documenting them at
 Meta-Wiki would still be a great idea. Would you be able to start such a
 page if one doesn't exist already?

 Outside of purely fundraising techniques, establishing what is and is not
 appropriate for fundraising banners would also be nice to have. For
 example, are splash pages off the table? CentralNotice has previously been
 used to completely block out the site, so it's certainly technically
 possible. What about banners that obstruct or obfuscate article content?
 Are these ever acceptable? Is it okay to stretch the truth if it brings in
 more money (e.g., Wikipedia Executive Director)?

 I think clarity as to what the Wikimedia Foundation fundraising team
 considers appropriate or off-limits in order to reach its goals is
 very important to have.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fundraising banner obscuring site interface

[Peter Coombe]

I'm not aware that there ever was such an agreement. Annoyance to users is
certainly something that we do try to minimise, and we've actually rejected
a number of designs so far this year for that reason. However we thought
carefully about this banner before testing it and considered it okay for a
few reasons:

* We've actually heard anecdotal feedback from users that they meant to
donate but were missing/forgetting the banner once they scrolled down to
read the article.
* The floating tab takes up only a very small portion of the screen, and
does not overlap with the article.
* Fundraising banners are no longer displayed to logged in users, who are
the main users of the sidebar.
* There is a prominent close button.

Our donor services team haven't seen any negative emails about this banner.
Moreover adding the floating tab results in an increase in donations of
roughly 15%, one of the biggest improvements we have found so far this
year. So we hope this will help us to reach our target sooner, and annoy
fewer users overall.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fundraising banner (again)

[Peter Coombe]

(resending to thread with subject line, apologies if this comes through
twice!)

Hi all, just wanted to weigh in on a few things brought up in this and the
other threads.

* The coffee cup stock image was a mistake and miscommunication with a
contractor. IANAL but my understanding is that they had a license from the
stock photo company, so the use was legal, but not free use as we would
like. Once we became aware there was a problem, we stopped using the image
and switched to the current lightbulb graphics. We'll certainly be more
careful about this in future.

* A number of people have suggested using
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cup_of_Coffee.svg, which is a very
nice image but unfortunately seems to be lacking permission and is pending
deletion from Commons. We've found some other alternative freely licensed
coffee cup images, but for now the lightbulb graphics are doing very well
so we're concentrating on them.

* In the past we have tested a few banners which focused on highlighting
great images from Commons (with attribution of course). [1] Unfortunately
these didn't perform as well as our other banners, but it's something we
would like to revisit in future. We have also been testing using Commons
images in some of our emails to past donors, which has seen more success.

* Uploading fundraising banner images to donate.wikimedia.org was simply a
pragmatic decision. Because these images are so widely seen, they could be
a tempting target for vandalism. Uploading to Commons would require
protecting them, which is an extra step that's easy to forget, and would
also require granting Commons administrator or staff rights to multiple
people. We could have used wikimediafoundation.org, but it was thought
better to keep all the fundraising images together, and avoid overloading
that project with something it wasn't really intended for. When we produce
artwork or an image that is Commons worthy, we share it there.

* Not showing the banner again if someone donated is a great suggestion,
and in fact it's something we already do by setting cookies when people
reach the Thank You page.

Thanks,
Peter
