+1 to Paul. I was thinking of the same thing but was confused about how to put it. Many individuals from underrepresented communities, including myself, often feel hesitant to contribute to global-level conversations in a meaningful way and raise their concerns. The connection between Wikimedia

Sorry to keep bringing this up every few months, but if there is no self-discipline and/or moderation over list, can we at least change List REPLY settings to not default to all but to be a specific email sender? Thank you for considering! On Fri, May 5, 2023 at 4:08 PM Belinda Mbambo wrote: >

I am so sorry to hear this; it was always a delight to meet him (and often, in my case, to talk about interesting issues in copyright!) and I greatly admired his tireless energy and passion for the movement. A huge loss to the community; thank you for sharing the news so we can remember him

Dear Bobby, Shola and all, You say, "We (Africans) were consulted". According to Meta[1], the Working Group for these awards comprised four English-speaking Wikimedians (at least two of whom are themselves journalists) from Nigeria, Ghana, South Sudan and Kenya. At the time of writing, the Meta

Hi Jonathan, Great post! Thank you for introducing a fresh and compelling perspective into the conversation, though I would suggest that this needs adjusting to take into account that Wikimedians' circumstances are vastly different depnding on where they live – a point I will return to below.

Dear friends, I'm sorry to update that our friend and colleague Deror Lin (user:Deror_Avi) passed away this morning. Deror was a truly Wikimedian in blood who poured his heart and soul into the movement in many ways, even in his final days. He joined Wikipedia in 2004 and was one of the founders

Deepest sympathies and condolences to his friends, family, colleagues, and fellow Wikimedians. We've lost a real gem. His passion for his community and our whole movement was unmatchable. The impact of his countless contributions will never erode. Will miss his smile dearly. Mehrdad *Mehrdad

These are interesting viewpoints indeed. I think the connection between these awards and Wikipedia (especially in the African continent) is clearly stated in the article. In fact, if it was me who was writing this press release I would have started that sentence with: - Most African

Thank you for letting us know, Itzik; I am so sorry to hear this news. Deror and I worked on many Wikimanias together, as planners and as members of the steering committee, but we spent perhaps the most time together on the program for Wikimania 2017. For that conference, Deror put the hundreds

I have more fond memories of Deror than I can immediately recall - I remember him as a force of positive energy both on and off stage, usually in connection to Wikimania. My earliest memories are probably in 2010 Gdansk where Deror was part of the Haifa team trying to soak up as much experience

I feel very sad as well. His joyful personnality, his energy and enthousiasm, and his erudition left me with very fond memories. As mentionned by others... a very documented visit of Jerusalem so many years ago... Wikimania in Haifa... the coolest projects... the 2022 award... and yes... his
