Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF political activism

The concept "apolitical" does not exist if there is a goal. Nevertheless, for the future, a link to the article about "Earth" in all the languages Wikimedia has would be the best solution. Cheers, Galder From: Wikimedia-l on behalf of Yair Rand Sent: Friday,

Gregory, Thank you for your response. I am happy to hear that the intent was apolitical. However, it was quite clear from the minute the campaign went live that they had no intention of being apolitical. Though most of the political propaganda was propagated by people in the live-streams, the web

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF political activism

Hello, this is about different things. One is an opinion about Earth Day, one is an opinion about the organization behind a specific event, and one is an opinion about whether the WMF should link to this specific event. For example, I am not against protecting the climate. I might have some critici

Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF political activism

Given that this page https://www.earthdaylive2020.org/vote/ clearly aims at influencing the election of political candidates to public office and "build political pressure", can we expect the Wikimedia Foundation to file Form 1120-POL as mandated by the IRS? https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-pro

I can't imagine anyone could have had an issue with an anodyne banner saying something like "Remember our en

Hi RhonosF1, Thanks for the comment. I like the idea too. Coincidentally, a subject for discussion at the upcoming Café is obtaining non-WMF funding for community projects. A constant problem is that the community has a limited supply of people and time, and an extensive list of tasks and project
