केही लेखहरू सम्बन्धमा

अलिङ्गी वा तेस्रोलिङ्गी वा पारलैङ्गिक व्यक्तित्व भएका मानिसलाई समाजमा पहिचाहन नदिएर पिछडिएको हुन सक्ला, मेरो उनीहरू प्रती सम्मान नै छ र उनीहरूले आफ्नो जीवन आफ्नो तरिकाले जिउन पाउनु पर्छ भन्ने कुरामा म पनि समर्थन गर्छु तर विकिपिडियामा बनेका केही पृष्ठ जस्तै :अञ्जली लामा, पिङ्की गुरुङ, रुक्शना कपाली, भूमिका श्रेष्ठ आदी विकिपिडियामा लेख्नको लागि त्यति उल्लेखनिय भइसकेको जस्तो लाग्दैन। पिछडिएको भन्दैमा विकिपिडियामा पनि कोटा प्रणाली जस्तो पृष्ठ निर्माणमा गरिनुले पछि विकिपिडिया कै उल्लेखनियतामा पनि प्रश्न उठ्न सक्ने होलाकि भन्ने मेरो विचार छ (यो मेरो विचार मात्र हो, अलिङ्गी वा तेस्रोलिङ्गी वा पारलैङ्गिक व्यक्तित्वहरूसँग मेरो कुनै द्वेष छैन)। यसमा आफ्नो विचार राख्न @Biplab Anand, Nirjal stha, Krish Dulal, Nabin K. Sapkota, Nirajan pant, Saroj Uprety, and सरोज कुमार ढकाल: लाई अनुरोध गर्दछु। --निर्मल दुलाल (कुरा गर्नुहोस) १५:२८, १० सेप्टेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

उल्लेखनीयताको मापदण्ड निर्धारण गर्नु पर्ने आवश्यक देखिन्छ। सार्वजनिक तथा आमसञ्चारमा चर्चाहुनु उल्लेखनीयताको एक भाग रहे पनि समाजमा विषयको योगदानको पनि विचार गर्नु पर्ने देखिन्छ। सामाजिक योगदान बिनाको चर्चा स्थायी नहुन पनि सक्छ। कुनै पनि विषयको चर्चाको द्विगोपनामा पनि ध्यान दिनु जरुरी हुन्छ। कुनै पनि व्यक्तिको राजनीतिक, लैङ्गिक, धार्मिक र पदको कारणले हुने चर्चालाई उल्लेखनीयता मान्ने नमान्ने भन्ने कुरामा स्पष्ट हुनु आवश्यक छ। सरोज(Saroj) (कुरा गर्ने) २०:३८, ११ सेप्टेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]
हाल यी लेखहरू ठुटो अवस्थामा छन् र उल्लेखनीयता प्रमाणित गर्ने पर्याप्त आधार पनि देखिँदैनन्। तसर्थ लेख निर्माणकर्तालाई जानकारी दिई लेख मेटाउने वा सुधार गर्ने निर्णय लिन सकिन्छ। --Nirajan pant (कुरा गर्ने) २०:४६, ११ सेप्टेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]
मेरो विचारमा अञ्जली लामा, भूमिका श्रेष्ठ उल्लेखनीय हुन्। उक्त लेखहरू अन्य विकिमा पनि रहेका छन्। यदि उल्लेखित लेखहरूलाई सुधार गर्न सकिए राम्रो हुनेथियो।--Saroj Uprety (कुरा गर्ने) २०:५५, ११ सेप्टेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]
माथि उल्लेखित लेखहरूले नेपाली लगायत केहि अन्य भाषाका विकिपिडियामा आफ्नो स्थान ओगटे पनि कुनै पनि विकिपिडियाको पूर्ण मापदण्ड पुरा नगरेको र जुनसुकै बेला मेटिन सक्ने भएकाले हाललाई उल्लेखित पृष्ठहरू नेपाली विकिपिडियाबाट मेटाउदा ठिक हुने विचार राख्न चाहन्छु । - Nabin K. Sapkota (कुरा गर्ने) ००:३९, १३ सेप्टेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]
  • स्पप्रकाशित र ब्लगले लेखेका कुनै पनि लेखहरू मान्य हुँदैनन्। एउटा वेबसाइटमा एकपटक नाम देखिँदैमा उक्त व्यक्ति, फुटबल क्लब, साङ्गीतिक समूह आदीलाई उल्लेखनीय मान्न सकिन्न। तथापि, हाल नेपाली विकिपिडियामा उल्लेखनीयताको मापदण्ड छैन जुन नबनाइ हुन्न। त्यही भएर त्यहाँ यस्ता समस्याहरू नयाँ पृष्ठ सृजनासँगै बढिरहेको देखिन्छ। माथि उल्लेखित गैर उल्लेखनीय पृष्ठहरू मेट्न सुझाव दिन्छु, साथै भविष्यमा चर्चा व्यापक भयो र नाम उल्लेखनीय सञ्चार माध्यम तथा समाचारमा देखा पर्यो भने पुनः पृष्ठ सृजना गर्न सकिन्छ। پربت سُبےدی (تحدث معي) १४:३६, ११ नोभेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

नवराज घिमिरेलाई प्रश्न

यहाँले मेटामा गर्नुभएको अनुदान प्रस्तावको बारेमा समुदायलाई जानकारी गराउनु आवश्यक थियो कि थिएन? मैले विकिपिडियाको २०औँ वार्षिकोत्सव कार्यक्रम नेपालका विभिन्न ठाउँमा गर्ने उद्देश्यले उपरोक्त छलफल २५ दिन पहिले सुरु गरेको थिए जसलाई विभिन्न प्रयोगकर्ताद्वारा भिन्न भिन्न मितिमा समर्थन जनाएको हेर्न सक्नुहुन्छ। नेपालको विकिपिडिया समुदायको बारेमा यहाँलाई जानकारी हुँदा हूँदै पनि बिना सामदायिक जानकारी व्यक्तिगत तवरले कार्यक्रम आयोजना गर्नुको मूल ध्येय के हो? छलफल, विचार र सुझावको लागि सम्पूर्ण विकिपिडियामा चौतारी भन्ने स्थान हुन्छ भन्ने यहाँलाई थाहा हुनुपर्ने हो? आफ्नो पक्ष यथाशीघ्र स्पष्ट पार्नुहोला। धन्यवाद--बिप्लब आनन्द (म सँग कुरा गर्नुहोस) १८:३६, १० डिसेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

विचार

  •  समर्थन यस प्रकारको अनलाइन कार्यशालाहरूमा हाल देखिएका विविध समस्या तथा चुनौतीहरूको बारेमा खेलेर छलफल गर्न पाइने भएकाले यो कार्यक्रम समुदायलाई एकत्रित गर्न अवश्य पनि महत्त्वपूर्ण पहल बन्न सक्छ। यस अधि विकिमिडिया बाङ्लादेशद्वारा आयोजित तीन अनलाइन कार्यशालाहरूमा मैले पनि सहभागीता जनाएको थियो जहाँ यावत् समस्याहरूको समाधानका लागि निकै सकारात्मक छलफल गरिएको थियो भने यस विषयमा उनीहरूको सिको गर्नु जरुरी छ। समुदायलाई कस्तो बनाउने, कसरी अगाडि लैजाने भन्ने कुरामा यस कार्यक्रम प्रभावकारी बन्ने मेरो बुझाई छ। अन्ततः हुनलागेको विश्वव्यापी वार्तालापमा हाम्रो नेपाली विकिमिडिया समुदायको आवाजलाई विश्वव्यापी विकिमिडिया अभियानमा जोड्नको लागि यो महत्त्वपूर्ण पहल हुने भएकाले यस कार्यक्रम आयोजना गर्नु पर्छ। ہیمال سُبےدی چلو بات کرتے ہیں ०८:१९, १८ नोभेम्बर २०२० (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

[Small wiki toolkits] Understanding the technical challenges

Greetings, hope this message finds you all in the best of your health, and you are staying safe amid the ongoing crisis.

Firstly, to give you context, Small wiki toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to support small wiki communities, to learn and share technical and semi-technical skills to support, maintain, and grow. In India, a series of workshops were conducted last year, and they received good response. They are being continued this year, and the first session is: Understanding the technical challenges of wikis (by Birgit): Brainstorming about technical challenges faced by contributors contributing to language projects related to South Asia. The session is on 24 January 2021, at 18:00 to 19:30 (India time), 18:15 to 19:45 (Nepal time), and 18:30 to 20:00 pm (Bangladesh time).

You can register yourself by visiting this page! This discussion will be crucial to decide topics for future workshops. Community members are also welcome to suggest topics for future workshops anytime at https://w.wiki/t8Q. If you have any questions, please contact us on the talk page here.

[Small wiki toolkits] Upcoming bots workshops: Understanding community needs

Greetings, as you may be aware that as part of Small wiki toolkits - South Asia, we conduct a workshop every month on technical topics to help small wikis. In February, we are planning on organizing a workshop on the topic of bots. Bots are automated tools that carry out repetitive, tedious and mundane tasks. To help us structure the workshop, we would like understand the needs of the community in this regard. Please let us know any of

  • a) repetitive/mundane tasks that you generally do, especially for maintenance
  • b) tasks you think can be automated on your wiki.

Please let us your inputs on workshops talk page, before 7 February 2021. You can also let me know your inputs by emailing me or pinging me here in this section.

Call for feedback: WMF Community Board seats & Office hours tomorrow

(sorry for posting in English)

Dear Wikimedians,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. Below you will find the problem statement and various ideas from the Board to address it. We are offering multiple channels for questions and feedback. With the help of a team of community facilitators, we are organizing multiple conversations with multiple groups in multiple languages.

During this call for feedback we publish weekly reports and we draft the final report that will be delivered to the Board. With the help of this report, the Board will approve the next steps to organize the selection of six community seats in the upcoming months. Three of these seats are due for renewal and three are new, recently approved.

Participate in this call for feedback and help us form a more diverse and better performing Board of Trustees!

Problems: While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. This problem was identified in the Board’s 2019 governance review, along with recommendations for how to address it.

To solve the problem of capacity, we have agreed to increase the Board size to a maximum of 16 trustees (it was 10). Regarding performance and diversity, we have approved criteria to evaluate new Board candidates. What is missing is a process to promote community candidates that represent the diversity of our movement and have the skills and experience to perform well on the Board of a complex global organization.

Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. Meanwhile, our movement has grown larger and more complex, our technical and strategic needs have increased, and we have new and more difficult policy challenges around the globe. As well, our Movement Strategy recommendations urge us to increase our diversity and promote perspectives from other regions and other social backgrounds.

In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. What process can we all design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees?

Ideas: The Board has discussed several ideas to overcome the problems mentioned above. Some of these ideas could be taken and combined, and some discarded. Other ideas coming from the call for feedback could be considered as well. The ideas are:

  • Ranked voting system. Complete the move to a single transferable vote system, already used to appoint affiliate-selected seats, which is designed to best capture voters’ preferences.
  • Quotas. Explore the possibility of introducing quotas to ensure certain types of diversity in the Board (details about these quotas to be discussed in this call for feedback).
  • Call for types of skills and experiences. When the Board makes a new call for candidates, they would specify types of skills and experiences especially sought.
  • Vetting of candidates. Potential candidates would be assessed using the Trustee Evaluation Form and would be confirmed or not as eligible candidates.
  • Board-delegated selection committee. The community would nominate candidates that this committee would assess and rank using the Trustee Evaluation Form. This committee would have community elected members and Board appointed members.
  • Community-elected selection committee. The community would directly elect the committee members. The committee would assess and rank candidates using the Trustee Evaluation Form.
  • Election of confirmed candidates. The community would vote for community nominated candidates that have been assessed and ranked using the Trustee Evaluation Form. The Board would appoint the most voted candidates.
  • Direct appointment of confirmed candidates. After the selection committee produces a ranked list of community nominated candidates, the Board would appoint the top-ranked candidates directly.

Call for feedback: The call for feedback runs from February 1 until the end of March 14. We are looking for a broad representation of opinions. We are interested in the reasoning and the feelings behind your opinions. In a conversation like this one, details are important. We want to support good conversations where everyone can share and learn from others. We want to hear from those who understand Wikimedia governance well and are already active in movement conversations. We also want to hear from people who do not usually contribute to discussions. Especially those who are active in their own roles, topics, languages or regions, but usually not in, say, a call for feedback on Meta.

You can participate by joining the Telegram chat group, and giving feedback on any of the talk pages on Meta-Wiki. We are welcoming the organisation of conversations in any language and in any channel. If you want us to organize a conversation or a meeting for your wiki project or your affiliate, please write to me. I will also reach out to communities and affiliates to soon have focused group discussions.

An office hour is also happening tomorrow at 12 pm (UTC) to discuss this topic. Access link will be available 15 minutes before the scheduled time (please watch the office hour page for the link, and I will also share on mailing lists). In case you are not able to make it, please don't worry, there will be more discussions and meetings in the next few weeks.

Research Needs Assessment for Indian Language Wikimedia (ILW) Projects

Dear All,

The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at CIS has been engaged with work on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects as part of the APG since 2019. This year, following up on our learnings from work so far, we are undertaking a needs assessment exercise to understand a) the awareness about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities, and identify existing projects if any, and b) to gather community inputs on knowledge gaps and priority areas of focus, and the role of research in addressing the same.

We would therefore request interested community members to respond to the needs assessment questionnaire here:

WMF Community Board seats: Upcoming panel discussions

As a result of the first three weeks of the call for feedback on WMF Community Board seats, three topics turned out to be the focus of the discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the further development of the panel's topics.

To counter spamming, the meeting link will be updated on the Meta-Wiki pages and also on the Telegram announcements channel, 15 minutes before the official start.

नेपाली भाषामा विकी भिडियोहरू

मेरा सबै विकी मित्रहरूलाई नमस्कार! सामाजिक संजालमा मलाईं धेरै व्यक्तिहरूले नेपाली विकिपिडियाको बारेमा प्रश्नहरू सोध्ने गर्छन् जस्तै कसरी सम्पादन गर्ने, कसरी खाता सिर्जना गर्ने र इत्यादी । म जानकारी प्रदान गर्छु तर विस्तृत रूपमा सबैलाई सिकाउन र जवाफ दिन सम्भव हुँदैन । कमन्स् मा भिडियोहरु त छन् तर निकै पुराना हुनका साथै नेपाली प्रयोगकर्ता मैत्री छैनन् । मानिसहरु सहज भाषामा सिक्न चाहन्छन् । तसर्थ मैले भिडियो प्रबर्धन अभियानको आयोजना गर्ने प्रस्ताव मेटामा राखेको छु जसमा हामी नेपाली भाषामा प्रयोगकर्ता मैत्री तरीकाले चारवटा भिडीयो बनाउने छौँ । यी भिडियोहरूले नयाँ आउँदो प्रयोगकर्ताहरूलाई यस निःशुल्क ज्ञान साझेदारी माध्यममा प्रवेश गर्न मद्दत गरनेछ । यदि हजुरहरुको केहि सुझाव हरु छन् भने कृपया मलाई व्यक्तिगत रूपमा वा यहाँ छलफलमा राख्न सक्नुहुने छ । धन्यवाद । Sandeep Raut (कुरा गर्ने) २२:२६, १९ अप्रिल २०२१ (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

यसका साथै समुदायका सदस्यहरूले सोधिएका प्रश्नको समयमा उत्तर नदिनु र थप प्रश्नहरू लाई पनि उपेक्षा गर्नु सायदै राम्रो कुरा हैन । समुदायको कार्यका लागि अनुदान आएपनि यहाँले समुदायमा कार्यक्रम को पूर्ण खाका नबुझाउनु , थप छलफल नगर्नु तथा समुदायलाई अन्योलमा राखी गरेको कार्यलाई समुदायले समर्थन नगर्ने कुराको व्यवरा जानकारी गराउन चाहन्छु ।

Call for Election Volunteers: 2021 WMF Board elections

Hello all,

Based on an extensive call for feedback earlier this year, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced the plan for the 2021 Board elections. Apart from improving the technicalities of the process, the Board is also keen on improving active participation from communities in the election process. During the last elections, Voter turnout in prior elections was about 10% globally. It was better in communities with volunteer election support. Some of those communities reached over 20% voter turnout. We know we can get more voters to help assess and promote the best candidates, but to do that, we need your help.

We are looking for volunteers to serve as Election Volunteers. Election Volunteers should have a good understanding of their communities. The facilitation team sees Election Volunteers as doing the following:

  • Promote the election and related calls to action in community channels.
  • With the support from facilitators, organize discussions about the election in their communities.
  • Translate “a few” messages for their communities

Check out more details about Election Volunteers and add your name next to the community you will support in this table. We aim to have at least one Election Volunteer, even better if there are two or more sharing the work. If you have any queries, please ping me under this message or email me.

Candidates from South Asia for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation has started elections for community seats on the Board of Trustees. While previously there were three community seats on the Board, with the expansion of the Board to sixteen seats last year, community seats have been increased to eight, four of which are up for election this year.

In the last fifteen years of the Board's history, there were only a few candidates from the South Asian region who participated in the elections, and hardly anyone from the community had a chance to serve on the Board. While there are several reasons for this, this time, the Board and WMF are very keen on encouraging and providing support to potential candidates from historically underrepresented regions. This is a good chance to change the historical problem of representation from the South Asian region in high-level governance structures.

Ten days after the call for candidates began, there aren't any candidates from South Asia yet, there are still 10 days left! I would like to ask community members to encourage other community members, whom you think would be potential candidates for the Board. While the final decision is completely up to the person, it can be helpful to make sure that they are aware of the election and the call for candidates.

Let me know if you need any information or support.

Thank you, KCVelaga (WMF) १५:४८, १९ जुन २०२१ (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

2021 WMF Board election postponed until August 18th

Hello all,

We are reaching out to you today regarding the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. This election was due to open on August 4th. Due to some technical issues with SecurePoll, the election must be delayed by two weeks. This means we plan to launch the election on August 18th, which is the day after Wikimania concludes. For information on the technical issues, you can see the Phabricator ticket.

We are truly sorry for this delay and hope that we will get back on schedule on August 18th. We are in touch with the Elections Committee and the candidates to coordinate the next steps. We will update the Board election Talk page and Telegram channel as we know more.

Thanks for your patience, KCVelaga (WMF), ०९:३४, ३ अगस्ट २०२१ (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

Results of 2021 Wikimedia Foundation elections

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 Board election. The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election, organized to select four new trustees. A record 6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid votes. The following four candidates received the most support:

  • Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
  • Victoria Doronina
  • Dariusz Jemielniak
  • Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. The Board has set a tentative date to appoint new trustees at the end of this month.

Universal Code of Conduct EDGR conversation hour for South Asia

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may already know, the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide. Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in December 2020.

The current round of conversations is around how the Universal Code of Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces. This will include training of community members to address harassment, development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas.

The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows:

You can also attend the global round table sessions hosted on 18 September - more details can be found on this page. MediaWiki message delivery (कुरा गर्ने) १६:३२, १० सेप्टेम्बर २०२१ (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections is now open

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
थप भाषाहरू • कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.

With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.

There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback:

  1. What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates? The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.
  2. What are the expectations for the candidates during the election? Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?

There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback.

Join the conversation.

Question about the Affiliates' role for the Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
थप भाषाहरू • कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections so far. The Movement Strategy and Governance team has announced the last key question:

How should affiliates participate in elections?

Affiliates are an important part of the Wikimedia movement. Two seats of the Board of Trustees due to be filled this year were filled in 2019 through the Affiliate-selected Board seats process. A change in the Bylaws removed the distinction between community and affiliate seats. This leaves the important question: How should affiliates be involved in the selection of new seats?

The question is broad in the sense that the answers may refer not just to the two seats mentioned, but also to other, Community- and Affiliate-selected seats. The Board is hoping to find an approach that will both engage the affiliates and give them actual agency, and also optimize the outcomes in terms of selecting people with top skills, experience, diversity, and wide community’s support.

The Board of Trustees is seeking feedback about this question especially, although not solely, from the affiliate community. Everyone is invited to share proposals and join the conversation in the Call for Feedback channels. In addition to collecting online feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team will organize several video calls with affiliate members to collect feedback. These calls will be at different times and include Trustees.

Due to the late addition of this third question, the Call will be extended until 16 February.

Join the conversation.

Best regards,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 Postponed

Dear Wikimedians,

We want to give you an update related to Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022. Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 (or WMWM2022) was to be conducted from 18 to 20 February 2022 and is postponed now.

Currently, we are seeing a new wave of the pandemic that is affecting many people around. Although WMWM is an online event, it has multiple preparation components such as submission, registration, RFC etc which require community involvement.

We feel this may not be the best time for extensive community engagement. We have also received similar requests from Wikimedians around us. Following this observation, please note that we are postponing the event, and the new dates will be informed on the mailing list and on the event page. Although the main WMWM is postponed, we may conduct a couple of brief calls/meets (similar to the Stay safe, stay connected call) on the mentioned date, if things go well.

We'll also get back to you about updates related to WMWM once the situation is better. Thank you MediaWiki message delivery (कुरा गर्ने) १३:१२, २७ जनवरी २०२२ (नेपाली समय)[जवाफ दिनुहोस्]

Dear community members,

In continuation of Maryana Iskander's listening tour, the Movement Communications and Movement Strategy and Governance teams invite you to discuss the 2022-23 Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan.

The conversations are about these questions:

  • Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy process. We want to know about your activities, ideas, requests, and lessons learned. How can the Wikimedia Foundation better support the volunteers and affiliates working in Movement Strategy activities?

Date and Time

The meeting will happen via Zoom on 24 April (Sunday) at 07:00 UTC (local time). Kindly add the event to your calendar. Live interpretation will be available for some languages.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 - Call for Election Volunteers

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.
थप भाषाहरू • कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.

The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.

There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?

Election volunteers will help in the following areas:

  • Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
  • Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions

Volunteers should:

  • Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
  • Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner

Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up here to receive updates. You can use the talk page for questions about translation.

थप भाषाहरू • कृपया आफ्नो भाषामा अनुवाद गर्न मद्दत गर्नुहोस्

Hi all,

Community members are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass for the 2022 Board of Trustees election.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

  • July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
  • July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
  • July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
  • August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
  • August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
  • August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Regards,

Movement Strategy & Governance

Delay of Board of Trustees Election

Dear community members,

I am reaching out to you today with an update about the timing of the voting for the Board of Trustees election.

As many of you are already aware, this year we are offering an Election Compass to help voters identify the alignment of candidates on some key topics. Several candidates requested an extension of the character limitation on their responses expanding on their positions, and the Elections Committee felt their reasoning was consistent with the goals of a fair and equitable election process.

To ensure that the longer statements can be translated in time for the election, the Elections Committee and Board Selection Task Force decided to delay the opening of the Board of Trustees election by one week - a time proposed as ideal by staff working to support the election.

Although it is not expected that everyone will want to use the Election Compass to inform their voting decision, the Elections Committee felt it was more appropriate to open the voting period with essential translations for community members across languages to use if they wish to make this important decision.

The voting will open on August 23 at 00:00 UTC and close on September 6 at 23:59 UTC.

Best regards,

Matanya, on behalf of the Elections Committee

WikiConference India 2023: Initial conversations

Dear Wikimedians,

Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023.

The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.

We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes & use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.

Here is a survey form to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on this page, if you support the idea.
