Re: [Wikimedia-l] documentaries about Wikipedia

[Orsolya Gyenes]

A short documentary about how Wikipedia is used as an educational tool in
3rd world countries:

Web:La Selva on Daily Motion.

Wish it was available on Commons...

No, it's correct. James personally wanted me to represent WM2012.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimania-l] Creating a Wikimania Committee

[Orsolya Gyenes]

Hi,

It's already there:


   - Provide advice (on request) with regards to other large-scale
   Wikimedia events to the community and movement bodies.

*~Orsolya*


2013/4/23 Butch Bustria bu...@wikimedia.org.ph

 Hi,

 I suggest Wikimedia Conference Coordination Committee (WC3) so that
 conferences similar to *Regional Wikimanias* or *Thematic Wikimania*
 be accommodated.


 Butch

  Dear all,
 
  A small group of long-time Wikimaniacs have been working on the
  perrenial plan to produce a Wikimania Committee - a community group
  who would help steer Wikimania from year to year, advising each local
  hosting team and ensuring that the processes are open, transparent and
  community-led.
 
  Here are our drafts of what we think we'd want the committee to be
  like, a charter, and the resolution which we're submitting to the WMF
 Board:
 
  * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee
  * https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_Committee/Charter
  *
 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_resolutions/Wikimania_Committee
 
  Comments are very welcome; we're trying to get this done fairly
  quickly, and of course we will iterate these plans as we get feedback
  and hopefully more forward on the oft-stalled next steps.

  [[Wikipedia:User:Jdforrester|James F.]] (speaking purely in a personal
 capacity)

 I've been working on these documents as well, and am glad that we're
 once again moving forward on this idea. It's been discussed for a long
 time -- for at least the last five Wikimanias!

 And from the conversations I've been in over the years, I think
 there's been pretty broad consensus that having a community-driven
 oversight committee for Wikimania, as proposed here, is a good idea.
 The idea is that the committee would ensure continuity and planning
 from year to year as well as help provide oversight of annual
 conference planning; and it would be a more formal and representative
 mechanism than we've had in the past. After long discussions, I think
 we are finally (!) in a good position to make the committee happen
 now. Please add your feedback and questions, and help make this
 proposal better.

 I'm also happy to propose James as the initial chair of the committee,
 and also very happy that he's willing to do it :) He's been working
 hard at  keeping the Wikimania process generally on track this year
 and for the past several years, has helped shepherd many ideas into
 this proposal, and is in my opinion the best person to get the
 committee off the ground.

 best,
 Phoebe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] 2012 Editor survey launched

[Orsolya Gyenes]

This could not be more difficult... I am a sysop on huwiki for 3 years now
and I'm looking for the link for half an hour now and I still can't find
it... :O

How can you expect newbies to find it?

*~Orsolya*


2012/11/6 Andreas Kolbe jayen...@gmail.com

 I didn't see the banner either, but this solved the problem for me:

 1. Make sure Suppress display of the fundraiser banner in your
 preferences (it's under gadgets) is NOT checked.

 2. Set your browser to Private Browsing or Incognito of Stealth mode,
 whichever term your browser uses; this is to bypass any cookies that may be
 preventing the banner from being displayed (again).

 3. Go to the English Wikipedia main page: you should then see the banner at
 the top of your screen, with a link enabling you to do the survey.

   I dont remember if the survey told me that I would only have one
  chance...
 
  Looks like it does.  When editing French Wikipedia, the survey popped
  up again and said
 
  You can pause the survey at any time and finish it later, but this
  may be the only time you will see this message.
 
  I am hoping this is an nefarious ploy by the WMF to promote
  non-English Wikipedias ;-)
