[Wikimedia-l] Re: The Book Creator

[Camelia Boban]

Hi, super interested in this topic, for WikiDonne's educational program.
We just finished the 2024 course, we have 31 women biographies in *Profili
di donne emiliano-romagnole*[1] written by students*. W*e wanted to create
a first version of the ebook to be presented in front of school principals,
other students and the partners involved, in May.

At the end I download page by page as PDF and united them in an unique
file. Needless to say, the formatting is horrible. The last year, for our 3
ebooks we spent more than a week to convert the three pdf in odt, format
them and save again as pdf, just to have decent ebooks[2].
Solving the book creation tool inside Italian Wikibooks too would be very
helpful.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: The Endowment, again

[Camelia Boban]

Thank you Catlin,
yours and Julia's explanations here and on Meta are enough for me.

The Rai Tre broadcast program mentioned in the previous discussion talked
not only about money, and given that tomorrow is the last day to vote on
the strengthened guidelines of the UCoC and in some local communities I
have noticed deserted discussions, allow me to express - with no polemical
intention - the desire that the community devote at least as much passion
and time to improving the health of its internal dynamics as it does to
overseeing WMF's financial reports. It's not as secondary as it might seem,
because the entire movement and projects and their philosophy depend on the
community, the content it manages to generate in a serene environment, the
welcome it offers to new users who allow us to make the generational change
we need.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Open letter of support for Les sans pagEs

[Camelia Boban]

Hi everyone, I was unsure whether or not to reply to this thread, but maybe
something honestly has to be said.

Criticism is welcome when constructive, said in a civilized manner, without
going personal and without the intention of belittling, and intended to
improve our content. Not when done selectively on projects (or people) that
deal with the gender gap. And this is the main problem we have on this
front, that despite the magnificent work done, such projects are still
viewed with prejudice: as non-neutral, done more for personal or
group/activism interest than for the wikimedian one, who neglect quality
over quantity.

And this is the meaning of the letter of support to LSP on Meta. In
addition to the fact that in all discussions I have read - even we have
hundred of examples in our movement - there is a great confusion on what
means a non-profit wiki association born to support a project, what means
community (still talking about who is to be considered part of the
community and who not), between the advocacy work and the paid editing,
proving not to be able to distinguish, and not even to be aware of what are
the validated (and long term) Wikimedian practices: professional staff
inside the affiliates (paid to do financial or administrative work, event
organization or communication), Wikimedian in residence, to give just a few
examples. It seems that we can only see and conceive of the work done by
the chapters, a little less that of the other affiliates like user groups,
especially when they act not on a territorial, but on a thematic level.

My 2 cents,
Camelia

Hi everyone!



I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized
[1] *Tyap Wikimedians Proposed User Group* [2] as a Wikimedia User Group.
The group aims to* promote Wikimedia projects in Nenzit (Central Plateau)
languages, with Tyap language as a role model. Tyap is a Nigerian language
spoken in the central part of the country, with over 250,000 native
speakers and an unaccounted number of L2 and L3 speakers and when
considered one and same with Jju (a close mutually intelligible language
with a separate ISO Code), would have close to a million L1 speakers*.



Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!

Wow, nothing more beautiful than humanity in these wonderful photos.
A big thank you to winners, participants and the Wiki Loves Folklore
International & local teams.
Year after year this contest has grown, leading to the uploading of many
quality images, videos and sounds in Commons. I remember that many of these
photos - as well as WLM, WLE, Wiki Science Competition - can be used to
enrich the pages of the various language versions of Wikipedia during
the Wikipedia
Pages Wanting Photos

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Words from Wikiquotes... The wisdom of 2,432 women made visible via WikiQuote :)

[Camelia Boban]

Hi Florence, Isla and others,
Thank you for the announcement.

In the name of my affiliate, WikiDonne User Group, who organized the
campaign in Italian Wikiquote, I want to thank the itwikiquote community
which, for the second time, answered with a great enthusiasm. For the
gadgets we offered, we chose a quote of a great women poet: ἰοίην (our
Greek friends can say more, but as I know, the translation is *that I can
go further*) the only word left of a poem written by Sappho. Maybe the
richest word in hope that can exist.

This event and the previous one, helped on increasing the project content,
so with 42.389 articles, Italian became the first language in Wikiquote.

I encourage all you to try to edit Wikiquote and learn the other how to do
it,  you will find a lot of fun. It is also a good option to engage new
editors and an easier way to start edit the Wikimedia projects.

Camelia

[Wikimedia-l] Small gratitude to our fellow wikimedians

[Camelia Boban]

Hi everybody.

Today, on the social media channels, we received the news about another
wikimedian who is passed away: Steve Suleeman (User:Stephensuleeman from
idwiki). As others in the recent or distant past: Spasimir Pilev
(User:Спасимир Пилев from bgwiki), Pier Luigi Rocco (User:Moroboshi from
itwiki), Elena Sanz Queiruga (User:ElsaBornFree from
eswiki), User:SlimVirgin from enwiki, Krzysztof Machocki
(User:Halibutt from plwiki).

For these losses, I think we - as a community, through the Wikimedia
Foundation - need to set up a fund to build a commemorative plaque to
remember all the wikimedians we have lost.

I would suggest it to be a thought from the community, extended also to all
other major events of a wikimedian's life (marriage, birth of a child). We
know a wikimedian often sacrifices the free time, dedicating a large part
of their own real life to our projects and the movement. Would be a
recognition from the community for the work done and a memory for the
families, a "small gratitude to our fellow wikimedians" as someone said.

I know that some affiliates are already doing this (eq. Wikimedia
Indonesia), would be a lovely idea to do it in a centralized way at the
level of the whole movement.

What do you think?

You will have time to get to know the wikimedians, but writing or improving

is perhaps one of the most heartfelt and sincere welcome that a Wikipedian

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Thank you + see you around!

[Camelia Boban]

Hi Katherine, thank you for having been part of our movement.
I assiduously started my activity for diversity and reducing the gender gap
in the movement exactly at the same time of your appointment, at Wikimania
2016 in Esino Lario.
So my memory is that my work and the birth of WikiDonne is in some way
related to your role as ED at that time, and that important phase for the
Wikimedia movement.

I wish you all the best ❤,
Camelia & WikiDonne

[Wikimedia-l] WikiDonne User Group report Nov 2019 - Nov 2020

[Camelia Boban]

Hi everybody.
Sorry for the delayed time, I just filled WikiDonne
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiDonne/Reports/Report_2019-2020> User
Group report
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiDonne/Reports/Report_2019-2020> for
the period November 2019 - November 2020, sending it to the Affiliates Data
Portal <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Affiliates_Data_Portal>
 too.
It tried to be detailed and complete as I think is useful to understand all
the affiliate's efforts inside the movement.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Warm regards,
Camelia Boban on behalf of WikiDonne UG

Thank you, Florence & Isla.
Here is the Italian page
<https://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Portale:Donne/SheSaid>: we wrote Kamala
Harris <https://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris> article (just think
that now in Wikiquote, with the Italian version, are only 3 entries) and Amy
<https://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Amy_Goodman> Goodman
<https://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/Amy_Goodman> draft.
I think that* Giving a bit of love to Wikiquote in the language you like *is
what is needed.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing the Wikidata Query Service Tutorial

[Camelia Boban]

Hi Revital,
congratulations, great work.
As a developer in love with SPARQL and seeing that WikiDonne uses Wikidata,
creating lists of missing women biographies
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:WikiDonne/Liste_voci_mancanti> &
some query examples
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:WikiDonne/SPARQL>, we are
interested in translating this tool into Italian. Can you please indicate a
way to contact you and your team?

Thank you,
Camelia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wiki Loves the Olympics 2020

[Camelia Boban]

Thank you, Santiago, great. We will participate.
WMES's event fits perfectly and seems to be a prelude to WikiDonne's Wiki
Loves Sport campaign <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Sport>,
this year to it's the second edition.
So, after participating in Wikimedia Espana's Wiki Loves Olympics, we
invite you all to continue writing about sport on Wiki Loves Sport, from
July 24th to September 6th (the period planned for the Olympics and
Paralympics Games and postponed to 2021).

See you there,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is the Wikimedia-movement apolitical?

[Camelia Boban]

Absolutely agree with both. Everything we do in the wiki movement (as
everything we do in our whole life) has (also) a political meaning.
As we have certain goals and we take certain positions.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Treatment of newbies with mild CoI

[Camelia Boban]

I can say that in Italian Wikipedia, in many edit-a-thon that WikiDonne
organized, in time we had often cases where the whole newbie's user page
was deleted immediately, without even warning. Because inside was write for
example "this is a test" or because the page was empty.

Needless to tell you the loss of those who participate in an event and in 5
minutes see the own user page deleted or sometimes even blocked. People who
already enter with lead feet, because complexed by entering and editing in
a community of perfectionists (as we are seen from the outside).

Someone asks for links to demonstrate what is said, but knows that this is
hard work, it means remembering everything and looking for hundreds of
discussions. One should simply remember or put the guideline of good faith
into practice and simply trust. Paulo has right when says that
sometimes *established communities
of editors treat newbies as unwelcome invaders.*

This is not an accusation email to see who is the culprit, but rather a
discussion to see what can be done to improve, since we have a very big
problem of retention and loss of users.

Great.
Someone for Android (and other cemeteries) too? Or some open code.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Wiki Cemeteries User Group

[Camelia Boban]

Yes, I'm responding in my capacity of a UG co-founder, so from a personal
perspective (but also using the knowledge and experience gained during the
participation in the committee).
And no, even if on the territory are more than one UG, the topics could be
 different: someone could treat GLAM, someone else Education and so on. And
the language could be different too, not only on the same more extended
territory, but even in the same country. We have different UG based on
language, often acting on the same territory (lgbo Wikimedians UG, Hausa
Wikimedians UG and Wikimedia Nigeria UG are active in Nigeria, for example).

May WikiDonne or Wikimedia Italy say something if a cimitery UG want the
recognition in Italian language? No, because Italian is a language (spoken
in Italy, but also in Switerland, Albania, Argentina etc) not a country, so
geographical discrepancy (in Italy WMIT could have something to say). As
language coverage, WDG could say something, but cimitery is not related to
gender gap (so different topic from WDG).

(For now) At the base of the UG's recognition are also language and
topic/area of activity, not only territory. These are the models
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_movement_affiliates/Models> right
now, with the strategy direction everything could change.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Recognition of the Wiki Cemeteries User Group

[Camelia Boban]

@Ciell
As one of who joined the group, I can say it is not the charm of the
cemetery itself, but the particularities of the local culture and the
history (many of the personalities are buried, often the texts on the
funeral stones are real poems and the funeral stones themselves are
cultural heritage).
Just think to Campo Verano
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_Verano> and Protestant
Cimitery <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Cemetery,_Rome> (Keats,
Shelley, Gramsci and many other) in Rome, Staglieno
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumental_Cemetery_of_Staglieno> in
Genoa, Merry
Cimitery <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Cemetery> in Săpânța
(Romania) etc.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Next steps on Wikimedia Space

[Camelia Boban]

Hi Quim and Paulo,

Like anything we lose as a movement (see also Wikipedia Zero), I am very
sorry for this decision, for those who worked and for those who were
comfortable with the platform.
I was not, as I am not with Phabricator (despite being a developer). It's a
matter of habits and preferences, of course, so my opinion has the same
value as someone else who loves them.
I don't really know the whole situation (expenses, number of users etc),
but I think we shouldn't have the same philosophy as Google, which lets go
of products that - not only from a commercial point of view, but in terms
of use - they didn't have the turnout expected.
We are different and I may be sentimental, but I expect that we keep the
projects standing even if we have only one user.

Camelia

[Wikimedia-l] Affiliations Committee elections results

[Camelia Boban]

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that Mehman Ibragimov has been appointed to the
Affiliations Committee as new members. In addition, four incumbent members
-- Rosie Stephenson-Goodkinght, Sami Mlouhi, Olushola Olaniyan and Emna
Mizouni - have been re-appointed for an additional term. Please join me in
welcoming our new and returning members. You can find the updated list here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Affiliations_Committee/Members#Current_members>
.

The committee extends its profound gratitude to Kirill Loskin (former Chair
during the last two years) and Maor Malul (former Chair previously), who
were stepping down after having served five and respectively six years on
the committee and to everyone who participated in the recent selection
process, whether by standing as a candidate or by providing feedback on the
applications.

Regards,
Camelia Boban on behalf of AffCom

[camelia boban]

Hi all.
One more week left for Wiki Loves Sport
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Sport> campaign to write about
(not exclusively) women in sport on Wikipedia where you are all welcomed
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Sport/Participation>. A way to
follow the matches of our national teams and write the missing (female)
biographies on Wikipedia.

Of the total 24 teams
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_FIFA_Women%27s_World_Cup_squads>
 qualified
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_FIFA_Women%27s_World_Cup_squads> for
the final tournament of FIFA Women World's Cup 2019
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_FIFA_Women%27s_World_Cup> in
France, only 4 teams will continue the competition for the semi-finals and
the final.
On Thursday, England national team beat Norway's 3-1 and yesterday the Unites
States Women's national soccer team
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_women%27s_national_soccer_team>
(current
champion) beat France 2-1, both accessing the semifinals. Italy-Netherlands
and Germany-Sweden matches will be held today.

Be bold!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Some goodbye to all

[camelia boban]

Oh my Gosh Paulo, can you stop this dramma about yourself and your problem
with everything is connected with WMF?

To others, please have respect for the both parts engaged in this sad story
and do what Geert asked, stop discussing about this specific conflict
publicly.
If you want to talk more about harassment (in a generic way), then open
another thread.

Thank you,
Camelia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Some goodbye to all

[camelia boban]

One way or another, as nerds, we are all weird. I felt in love with this
movement when I realized that anyone inside would not have felt a stranger.
I live in Rome, where there is the habit of hugging and / or kissing each
other on one cheek and another when we meet. In the Arab world I saw that
the kisses they give are 3. At this point, I will think twice before doing
it.  In the MeeToo era we must be careful not to exaggerate, striving to
understand the difference between harassment and what can sometimes be
rudeness only or, in this case, sensitivity and affection expressed in
another way congenital to us.

Let us remember that behind what we perceive as "different" there is a
human being, with his story and his desire for interment and to be part of
something greater, a community.

I will miss you Romaine, I will miss your tenderness and I am so sorry
about how things went and how bad you are.

I don't know about you wikipedians, but I feel terribly sad. And defeat,
because I don't understand what's happening to us.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

[camelia boban]

I quote David and Isaac.
Harassment is a serious thing and hounding another user is out of any wiki
behavior.
Before asking why WMF has banned an admin (and if Fram was not an admin,
all these discussions would not have been done), we need to ask ourselves
why we (other users) have allowed such an attitude without intervening to
stop it.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Results of the Affiliate Selected Board Seats voting

[camelia boban]

These result fully confirm our initial decision

so we cannot be happier than this. So many congrats to Nat & Shani  .
We congratulate all the candidates for their wiki commitment.
A big thank you to the facilitators; their help was essential for better
understand and the good development of this process.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Feedback requested for draft code of conduct for user group

[camelia boban]

I do not understand how from a general proposal for a Code of Conduct for
user groups one goes on to talk about ideologies, personal retaliations,
irony about the politic situation of the countries of those who comment
etc.
Here we are discussing together whether or not we have a shared CoC.
We have different criteria for UG, do we have different rules for reports,
deadlines, obligations? No. So why not a CoC as much shared (and then maybe
specific CoCs for particular situations).
Sorry, but I don't see the meaning of this controversy.

I agree a unique, inconfondible and free of interpretations CoC to be
adopted by all UGs, as suggested by Thrapostibongles.

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

[camelia boban]

Absolutely agree with Galder.
WikiMedia is not only Wikipedia. Is not just an encyclopedia, but all other
wiki projects.
And is also a movement for openness, a philosophy, a way to do things.
Means collaborations, partners, a lot of other staffs than an encyclopedia
doesn't include.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Helene Hahn and Mirjam Stegherr appointed to the WMDE board

[camelia boban]

Hi Lucas, Helen and Mirjiam.

WMDE's approach on this appointment of two new members of the board find me
extremely happy.
Professional skills and diversity are weighty factors in our movement and
considering only non-men applications to increase the diversity could be a
suggest in all those cases of affiliates where there are no female or non
binary figures on the board.

I congratulate you on your choice, and wish you a good job with Helen and
Mirjiam to whom I wish a warm welcome in the movement.

Sincerely,
Camelia (WikiDonne UG)

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Flash fundraiser for Wikimedia Portugal

[camelia boban]

Olá Gonçalo and Wikimedia Portugal.
Was easier for me, on behalf of WikiDonne User Group, to send a PayPal to
your individual email rather than an international money transfer from my
bank (40% were taxes to be added).
Good look.

Camelia from WDG
