Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wiki Speaks Your Language

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wiki Speaks Your Language

Hi Kiril, Wikitongues videos are uploaded primarily in their Youtube channel and only few of them are under CC-BY-SA license. Although they depend on crowdsourcing, still it's not a wiki, so the number of uploads are not so frequent. On Jan 14, 2017 1:19 AM, "Kiril Simeonovski"

[Wikimedia-l] Wiki Speaks Your Language

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Keeping historical documents related to Wikimedia

Gerard, It isn't personal to me at all, of course. I'm not asking for privileged access to these plans or my own personal personal copy. I am requesting that the Foundation publish their medium to long term technical planning, the technical roadmap if you will, to the community so that the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Where is WMF with pursuing companies that offer paid editing services

Charles, Very few paid editors who currently advertise use the trademarks; they do say that they will write or help write articles in Wikipedia , and that is a true statement. They will sometimes say they are authorized to do so, or that their work is legitimate, which is false, but that does

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Keeping historical documents related to Wikimedia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Keeping historical documents related to Wikimedia

Hoi, You are not answering the question. You are only producing arguments that may be meaningful to you but they do not explain why you are interested and what you do to affect what you aim to achieve. IMHO it is important for the WMF to concentrate on what it is that we do. Make it more relevant
