Hi Everyone, As you know Turkey has banned more than 2,5 year Wikipedia Project all languages. And we contributed through free VPNs in those years.
Andy Mabbett was also our guest speaker during the ban for the Wikidata 6th Birthday event <https://uskudar.edu.tr/en/icerik/3354/wikidata-celebrated-the-6-birthday-at-uskudar-university>. We contacted WMF employees many times. I hope no one is not badly affected by this situation. Regards, *Zafer* *WMTR* Stephen LaPorte <[email protected]>, 2 Mar 2022 Çar, 21:48 tarihinde şunu yazdı: > Hello Andy, > > The Foundation is undertaking several initiatives in assisting the > Wikimedia communities in Ukraine and Russia, and in reviewing the potential > impacts that the sanctions will have on the movement.
