Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Affiliates] Changes to current chapter and thematic organisation criteria
I want to close the chapter of this discussion related to quantitative-qualitative criteria in order to call your attention to some consequences of this new criteria for existing affiliates. I want to be clear on this in order to avoid future missunderstandings. Romaine said that it's desirable to have already recognized affiliates to meet this criteria. Both AffCom and BoT want this, and it's would be unfair to require this criteria only for groups that want to get the ThOrg and Chapter status and at the same time to have a lesser average of work among those that already are recognized as such. Consequently, *every ThOrg and Chapter must comply with this criteria in order to get and keep affiliate status. *The idea is keeping the affiliates moving forward and to avoid to get them dormant. This criteria will be checked out during the annual review that WMF staff makes of Chapters and ThOrgs status (yes, the same that make you eligible to go to WMCON in Berlin) in case an affiliate doesn't meet the requirementes it will be reported to AffCom who will decide in every case if a recomendation to Board of Trustees is needed. --- *Possible questions:* *Q1: My chapter/ThOrg exists since many years ago, could I loose my recognition as chapter?* *A1:* Yes, if you don't meet the criteria and you don't repair the situation during some time after AffCom request, you can loose it. *Q2: How can I do to avoid this?* *A2:* Work hard, make activities, set goals and report. Ask for AffCom, WMF or other affiliates help if is needed. *Q3: But there are some chapters that have already many years without activity and nothing had happened so far.* *A3:* AffCom is already working on it. --- If you have any other questions on that doesn't hesitate in doing it, I'm sure Carlos will be happy of answer them :P Regards! 2016-08-22 22:31 GMT-05:00 Gnangarra <gnanga...@gmail.com>: > Point Im trying to make is focus on the positives to achieve what you > want, your path isnt necessarily be that which will help others, accept > that vague definitions is better than actual numbers to do that you need to > assume good faith and trust that the vague will fair to challenges we all > face in own circumstances number are hard and fast they cant always be fair > > On 23 August 2016 at 11:20, Pine W <wiki.p...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Gnangarra, >> >> I agree with you about the vision.

[Wikimedia-l] Cebuano and Waray-waray Wikipedias among Top 10
Hi! I just I noticed that Cebuano and Waray-waray Wikipedia are inside the list of the 10 Wikipedias with more articles.[1] It seems it happened during this weekend. Maybe in the case of Waray Wikipedia happened a little before. Somebody knows when did it was exactly? Did I miss a thread announcing this? Waray-waray is now the 6th place and Cebuano has surpassed it.wiki and es.wiki and gained the place number 8, mainly due to Lsjbot work.[2] Definitely a milestone in Wikipedia and bots history.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Invitation to WMF November 2014 Metrics Activities Meeting: Thursday, December 4, 19:00 UTC
Hi Asaf! I was reading the presentation on metrics and the point about Mexico's decreasing of views on Wikipedia called my attention. From your answer to Scott I read that those are only statistics from enwiki, do you know if the same happened in eswiki or, conversely, eswiki grow the number of views? In the last case I could assume that we are converting English readers into Spanish readers and it might be taken as a normal migration. Although in the first case I would be worried because we are loosing those readers definitely and it would be needed adjust some strategies in our country. Sorry if I'm doing a simplist reading of the metrics. Regards! El jueves, 4 de diciembre de 2014, Asaf Bartov abar...@wikimedia.org escribió: On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 1:23 PM, C. Scott Ananian canan...@wikimedia.org javascript:; wrote: Thanks everyone for a fantastic metrics meeting. I had two questions which I raised on IRC which didn't get a chance to be addressed. Briefly: 1) Is the rise in global south page views specifically to *enwiki*, or is it to local wikis? Not actually an either/or. The answer seems to me to be yes, i.e. all wikis -- that is, all projects, all languages. It seems that our thinking about redirecting to localized content and the rise of mobile in the global south should be informed by these analytics. Are folks coming to enwiki because that's where the content and editors are? Some definitely do. Another major factor, mentioned today, is that in some countries, mobile devices just don't come with good local languages support, and people are putting up with that and using what the device does give them, which are generally the major, colonial languages. If so we might be doing readers a disservice by redirecting them to a local wiki without the content they are seeking. (Perhaps the Content Translation tool can help.) If our userbase in the global south is coming from mobile, than it is important to provide localized editing tools for mobile; less so if they are primarily English-speaking and can take advantage of the desktop editors of enwiki. Remember that while global south is a shorthand label we use for convenience to group together a large number of countries, it's often quite misleading to generalize about it, *particularly* around language questions. In Anglophone Africa, for example, most people are used to looking for information online in English and not in indigenous languages. But in Brazil, people consume information in Portuguese, but many (16%) also refer to the English Wikipedia (and intriguingly, 1 in 3 *edits* from Brazil is to ENWP!), presumably for its broader coverage or higher average quality. In Ukraine, 70% read the Russian Wikipedia and only 17% read the Ukrainian Wikipedia; interviews tell me this is largely due to device defaults, beyond the obvious different in size and average quality. This page reveals some of those breakdowns: http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryBreakdown.htm Will investment in the Content Translation tool affect the balance between enwiki and local wiki pageviews going forward? That would be one long-term effect to watch for, I think! Thanks for digging up further info!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Insights of the Chapters Dialogue are online!
disagreement about the new fundraising and grantmaking processes. The gap in leadership: Who should take the leadership role and what should leadership in the Wikimedia movement look like? Adopting the narrowed focus, the WMF clearly states that it does not see the development of movement entities as their duty. Chapters on the other hand expect the WMF to take a leading role in Chapters’ development, while the WMF expects Chapters to be more proactive. None of these conflicts can be viewed in isolation, and no solution can be developed without a thorough understanding and frank conversations about the causes in the first place. We therefore consider that it would be highly irresponsible to suggest solutions to any of the described issues. Instead, we have distilled tough questions from the insights that need to be addressed urgently and answered in an open and comprehensive manner: 1. What do we as a movement want to achieve? Do we run a website or foster free knowledge? Why are we doing the things we do, and what for? 2. How do we define impact when exploring new territory? And how do we measure success? 3. What is the role of the Wikimedia Foundation? 4. How do we want to communicate with each other? How can we build the necessary empathy and learn from each other? How can we overcome the old narrative and perceptions? 5. Where does the money come from and where should it go? Should money be the limiting factor when striving for Free Knowledge? 6. What movement framework is best suited to fulfil the Wikimedia mission? The way things are at present inhibits the movement from striving effectively for Free Knowledge. Instead of using its full potential to further its mission, it revolves around itself. The common mission is at serious risk if the movement does not tackle the causes of its problems. These tough questions can only be approached in a structured and professional way, with dedication and commitment. There is no point in tinkering with the symptoms and finding single-problem solutions. The Chapters Dialogue concludes with the recommendation to build upon the insights and to initiate a sequel: the design of a framework for the Wikimedia movement in which it can work strongly and effectively towards its mission in a professional way, yet stay true to its grassroots and maintain its diversity. ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe -- *Salvador Alcántar* *@salvador_alc* ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Wikimedia Argentina report: August 2013
to expose local and international projects using Creative Commons licenses. Between August 21 and 24, more than 300 people participated at the San Martin Cultural Center, the main venue of the conference. On Friday August 23, the most anticipated events of the summit took place: the presentation of Lawrence Lessig, who drew attention to the copyright license limitations currently taking place in creative processes. Lessig also raised questions and key issues of the debate on copyright and outreach, and proposed key aspects to be considered in proposals for copyright reform.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Legal victory for Wikipedia in Italy
It's pretty remarkable that Italian Court is keeping in mind the real nature of Wikipedia as a sui generis collaborative project and not like a web site in a traditional sense. This new legal definition might influence other courts or laws. The most of law traditions in Latin America follow closely the Italian criteria. If possible, I would like a copy of the final resolution. Will you publish it on Commons or WMIT web page? Congratulations WMIT! 2013/6/26 Ilario Valdelli valde...@gmail.com The blog has been already posted in the Italian mailing list and I would say that this is an excellent result. The justice in Italy is really slow in general, but in this case the timeline has been short and the result of the court of justice really good for the future. The definition that the prosecutor is able to change the definition in Wikipedia and for this reason there is no sense to accuse Wikipedia or WMF, it's a good way to give an indication for the future.

Please join me in welcoming this new group into the fold of Wikimedia entities, and let's celebrate their success and hard work as Wikipedia turns eleven in Nepal! == Wikimedians of Nepal == Wikimedians of Nepal http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Nepal is a group of enthusiastic Nepali Wikimedians working towards developing and promoting Wikimedia projects in Nepal. They've been actively working to help expand the community, launch projects in more languages of Nepal and promote and support the existing ones. The group is working towards chapterhood, and have a good chance of attaining that status this year. Granting them user group recognition allows the movement to express its appreciation for their hard work even while they are working on the bureaucratic aspects of meeting the requirements of chapterhood. The timing is fortuitous in that the group is going to mark the 11th anniversary of Wikipedia in a Nepali language on 3 June, next Monday. Ganesh, the group's interim president has been invited to this year's Milan conference, where he gave a comprehensive overview of the group's history, its projects (including a successful 'wikiwomen programme) and its ambitions. The slides are at: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/WMNepal_WMC_2013.pdf The Affiliations Committee's recognition http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Resolutions/Wikimedians_of_Nepal_-_May_2013 is valid until 28 May 2014, or until they are recognized as a chapter. == Wikimedia User Groups == Wikimedia User Groups are one of the three new types of affiliations created last year to empower volunteers wanting to conduct offline work and provide them recognition from the Wikimedia movement. User group status is meant to be an easy form of affiliation, where the main requirements are an agreed goal, plans for offline work, at least three people participating and a public wiki page with all the relevant information). Under the movement roles recommendations http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_affiliation_models/User_Groups , user groups are to be recognized in a quick and easy process directly by the Affiliations Committee, for a fixed, renewable time-period and they are to enjoy limited trademark use and simplified access to grants.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Mexican government signs ACTA
In fact, it is not a copyright issue. Wimedia and Wikipedia is not against copyright. It is a issue about legal control. The current redaction of ACTA would bind to a signing country to create jurisdictional tools for closing and censoring pages only with presumption of copyright violation. For instance, every Wikipedia's article with a copypaste template could be closed by a judge. 2012/7/13 geni geni...@gmail.com On 12 July 2012 17:31, Ivan Martínez gala...@gmail.com wrote: Dear all, The agency that regulates in Mexico the Industrial Property (IMPI) signed the ACTA agreement in Japan yesterday.
