Re: [Wikimedia-l] Any perspective from Wikimedia Movement about the copyright refined

I think that the gist of the article, "UK Intellectual Property Office: what is in the Public Domain must stay in the Public Domain" is similar to the principle that Commons operates on, as noted in this wording: "Exception: Faithful reproductions of two-dimensional works of art, such as

[Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes!

Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce that the Community Tech team's Community Wishlist Survey has concluded, and we're able to announce the top 10 wishes! 634 people participated in the survey, where they proposed, discussed and voted on 107 ideas. There was a two-week period in November to submit

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wmfall] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes!

Thanks, Danny - this looks like a pretty good list. Every one of the top-10 proposals is worthwhile all by itself, and a couple of them have the potential to have multi-project effects; I'm not suggesting that they be set aside. However, I'd like to suggest that at the next selection process, a

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wmfall] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes!

Yeah, we've been thinking about the best way to support the smaller projects. For this first survey, we wanted to see what happened when we just open the voting as wide as we can, and encourage people from smaller projects to participate and spread the word. The Wikisource community did a

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes!

Danny, First of all, thanks for your comments on Wikisource community wishlist survey. Though we are a small global community, we did our best to get our basic problems noticed. To my opinion, the current system of Community wishlist survey is not good enough to solve the problems of Wikimedia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes!

Wow! I have strong opinions about everything on this list and apparently so do many other people. It was fun to participate in the proposal process. If any of these proposals are not feasible to develop then I would enjoy reading a short explanation explaining why from the perspective of a

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes!

Thanks to all for organizing the survey and for sharing! A lot of these should help people stay in touch on smaller wikis and sibling projects where they are less active (and currently less likely to see pings and messages), so while I also want to see wikisource take over the world, these seem

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Quality issues

OK I see now what you mean, and that is an interesting point. I think in this context you need to see the objections to the "Bonnie and Clyde" problem. Now that we have exploded the concepts of Wikipedia into items, our interlinking (which is what Wikidata was built for) is a bit less tightly knit

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Quality issues

Hoi, The one thing where Wikidata shines is in connecting sources through identifiers. It connects all Wikipedias through the interwiki links and improving these has been an ongoing process of the last three years. Every week more external identifiers are added and it is in the mix-n-match tool by
