Fundraising translation feedback

Hey Airon90, I have a bit of a request to ask from you. We pulled down our banners nearly a fortnight ago for what was a highly successful international fundraiser and brought the curtain down on last years fundraiser. This week however we will be changing payment processors and during the testing of the new system it would be useful to use the time productively on on testing banner text.

To help us out with this I wonder if you would be willing to help us improve our italian text using This Link

Simply follow the simple instructions on that page and if you have any questions feel free to contact me on my talk page.

We are going to run the test on tuesday so if you dont see this message till 24 hours after it was sent you can ignore me :) Many Thanks though.

Superprotect letter update

Hi Airon90,

Along with more hundreds of others, you recently signed Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer, which I wrote.

Today, we have 562 signatures here on Meta, and another 61 on change.org, for a total of 623 signatures. Volunteers have fully translated it into 16 languages, and begun other translations. This far exceeds my most optimistic hopes about how many might sign the letter -- I would have been pleased to gain 200 siguatures -- but new signatures continue to come.

I believe this is a significant moment for Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Very rarely have I seen large numbers of people from multiple language and project communities speak with a unified voice. As I understand it, we are unified in a desire for the Wikimedia Foundation to respect -- in actions, in addition to words -- the will of the community who has built the Wikimedia projects for the benefit of all humanity. I strongly believe it is possible to innovate and improve our software tools, together with the Wikimedia Foundation. But substantial changes are necessary in order for us to work together smoothly and productively. I believe this letter identifies important actions that will strongly support those changes.

Have you been discussing these issues in your local community? If so, I think we would all appreciate an update (on the letter's talk page) about how those discussions have gone, and what people are saying. If not, please be bold and start a discussoin on your Village Pump, or in any other venue your project uses -- and then leave a summary of what kind of response you get on the letter's talk page.

Finally, what do you think is the right time, and the right way, to deliver this letter? We could set a date, or establish a threshold of signatures. I have some ideas, but am open to suggestions.

Thank you for your engagement on this issue, and please stay in touch. -Pete F (talk) 18:40, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

100wikidatadays

itwikipedia è già tutta focalizzata sui navbox wikidata adesso, e a giudicare dalle domande che gli utenti medi (mi) fanno su wikidata direi un po' al limite. Intendo dire che incentivare la pluralità di utenti che si dedicano ai navbox-wikidata è un'ottima cosa in sè (anche se magari vengono criticati che cosa hanno in mente non è il modo perfetto con cui utenti più esperti lo farebbero) ma a mio avviso fra chi sa (o apprende facilmente) e chi non sa si è creato un po' un divario in parte evitabile che suggerirebbe di andare più lentamente, o di operare in modo intensivo più che estensivo.

Solo un'osservazione estempornea, personalmente penso che utenti molto crosswiki come te siano candidati ideali a livello di sensibilità a "diffondere wikidata", e ti faccio i miei auguri di successo. Se posso comunque magari proverei a vedere se ci bazzichi ancora se magari eowikipedia fosse intressata sull'argomento. Anzi già che ci sono lascio loro un messaggio al bar, come di altre iniziative su meta.--Alexmar983 (talk) 08:03, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

sì i sysop di eowiki mi convincono poco anche a me. Per quanto riguarda campagne informative ne ho fatte da gennaio sia sulle proprietà immagini che sulla creazione di item (si era fatto qulcosa anni fa e si è un po' ripreso adesso) e secondo me di divario ce ne è molto. Ho visto che si fanno molte campagna su itwikipedia in modo centralizzato, ma non bastano ancora. Se bastassero non incontrerei tutti questi utenti anche di lungo corso che vogliono sapere di più. Quello che limita itwiki è che secondo me si convince troppo che c'è un solo modo di fare le cose, e questo per una wiki che dovrebbe ritenersi sperimentale sull'integrazione con wikidata non è il massimo com strategia.

Ti auguro se hai una proposta concreta che ti sia approvata al coordinamento, o al bar di wikidata in italiano. Altrimenti puoi sempre aiutare i singoli utenti, non è la "stessa cosa" come impatto ma nel suo piccolo l'oceano è fatto di gocce. Ti assicuro che le utenze di itwiki vogliono sapere più di wikidata e vedono con piacere ogni spiegazione che insegni loro qualcosa. Molte pensano ancora che wikidata sia solo per gli interlink.--Alexmar983 (talk) 04:14, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Un grazie e un libro sulla conoscenza libera per te

Wikimedia Italia

Gentile Airon90,

oggi ti scrivo a nome dell'associazione Wikimedia Italia per ringraziarti del tempo che hai dedicato ai progetti Wikimedia.

Come piccolo omaggio avremmo piacere di spedirti una copia (tutta in carta riciclata) del libro di Carlo Piana, Open source, software libero e altre libertà. Fornisci un recapito per ricevere una copia del libro.

Pochi giorni fa il mondo ha festeggiato la giornata dell'amore per il software libero, ma ogni giorno è buono per ricordare le garanzie delle licenze libere e le centinaia di migliaia di persone che si sono unite per costruire questo bene comune della conoscenza. Speriamo che questo libro ti sia utile per apprezzare quanto hai fatto e per trasmettere la passione della conoscenza libera a una persona a te vicina.

Se desideri una copia ma non puoi fornirci un indirizzo a cui spedirla, contatta la segreteria Wikimedia Italia e troviamo una soluzione insieme.

Grazie ancora e a presto,

If you’re an active Wikimedian, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.

We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.

Queering Wikipedia 2023 conference

Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group and the organizing team of Queering Wikipedia is delivering the Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference for LGBT+ Wikimedians and allies, as a hybrid, bilingual and trans-local event. It is online on 12, 14 and 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, with offline events at around 10 locations on 5 continents in the 5-day span as QW2023 Nodes.

The online program is delivered as a series of keynotes, panels, presentations, workshops, lightning talks and creative interventions, starting on Friday noon (UTC) with the first keynote of Dr Nishant Shah entitled: I spy, with my little AI — Wikiway as a means to disrupt the ‘dirty queer’ impulses of emergent AI platforms. Second keynote is at Sunday’s closure by Esra’a Al Shafei, Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees vice chair, entitled: Digital Public Spaces for Queer Communities.

If you have been an active Wikimedian or enthusiast, supporting LGBT+ activities or if you identify as part of the larger LGBT+ community and allies in Wikimedia, please join us in advancing this thematic work. We encourage you to join online or in person with fellow Wikimedians if it is easy and safe to do so. Our working languages are English and Spanish, with possible local language support at sites of Nodes.

Registration for the online event is free and is open until Wednesday May 10th at 18:00 UTC, for safety protocol. Late event registration approval and event access denial is at the discretion of organizers.

More information, and registration details, may be found on Meta at QW2023
