Hi Nadine, thank you for this update.
Does the French Chapter have a position on replacing bitcoin mining
with foldingcoin (http://foldingcoin.net)? I hope that all Wikimedians
will oppose the wasteful consumption of electricity when useful
alternatives exist.
Best regards,
Jim

I am actually fully with Gnangarra here. I am also an unpaid volunteer who
invested a lot of hours of my free time into various Wikimedia projects
(and mostly getting a lot of shit in reward, but this is not the point
now). I did have an experience of disagreements with people who were either

Hey Yaroslav, thanks for sharing your view. I find very interesting what
you mention, and if you have experienced yourself it must be a real effect
on people. Five years ago, when I was awarded an IEG grant, I didn't feel

I'm not even aware that we'd be subject to GPDR.
We already allow removal of personal information in some cases (outing by
others, accidentally revealing one's IP address, etc.). If we were going to
allow it in any case that doesn't happen today, that would need to be
agreed to by the community,
It's also important to point out that Wikidata can be used to
semi-automatically replace the wikipedias' manual category trees:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Ontology
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Ontology/Classes
It looks like some of the Wikidata
Based on the limited information that I have, it seems to me that there are
already numerous contribtors who are paid to engage in promotional activity on

Absolutely correct,
I think thats a little disingenuous to say that we dont take care of our
volunteers and that its a negative message to not give some financial
reward to admins.
We came here by choice, whether we are here for a long time or a short time we
chose to add to the sum of all knowledge for myriad of
Gnangarra, you have been showing a lot of generosity towards the community
and that is laudable. As you, over the years I have also spent countless
hours in this community, and I do not regret it either, I feel it has been

Hi all,
Update on the topic.
Since Request Network were so slow and reluctant to change their delusive
communication into a fair and clean information, Wikimédia France broke the
agreement with them. Thus, this partnership is over.
We deleted our blog post about it. And we keep on trying to
