Talk:Wikimedia Thailand/Strategy Salon 2019/Report

Community Health

In my humble opinion, I conceded that strict standard has chased newcomers. However, one should also consider questions like:

1. How can newcomers learning the ropes, and best by themselves?
2. How can Thai Wikimedia projects change its image to be a consensus-based website rather than a free user-generated content site?
3. How can Thai Wikimedia projects as a community encourage favorable contributions from newcomers and prevent wrongdoings while avoiding contact between "strict" veterans and newcomers? (Because, let's face it, veterans don't "warn" newcomers if they do nothing "wrong", do they?)
4. Add 19 Sep 19 How to achieve good quality while maintaining participation rate (assuming good quality drive away visiting editors.)

I won't say the actions of some veterans and admins are the result of newcomers' wrongdoings. However, everybody should at least acknowledge that the two sides are correlated. I don't know that the salon suggest that there are need to fix veterans and admins first or it is easier to fix, or there is no need at all to correct newcomers. But I sincerely hope that the participants also consider these as problems as well. Not every newcomer is cute, you know?
