Note on signatures

Just a note, since I just added the timestamp to a number of your comments on various talk pages: Using four tildes (~~~~) is almost always better, since not only does this provide information about the time a comment was written, their absence also breaks scripts and gadgets enhancing discussions (such as c:COM:Convenient Discussions and mw:DiscussionTools) by preventing them from recognising the end of a comment. Thanks. ~~~~

#Shesaid campaign Nigeria

Wiki Loves Women/SheSaid

Hi,

I know the #Shesaid campaign is next month and I an thinking of a "Nigerian page of the initiative" on the English Wiki Quotes. New editors will be recruited especially people interested in filling the gender gap on Nigerian content. I already saw the Igbo redlist [Wq/ig/Wikiquote:SheSaid/Redlists]. (Igbo is a local language in Nigeria). I want to do a Nigerian campaign. What do you think? Please do let me know ways this can come into light. 

I would love to hear your opinion. Prithee P (talk) 08:31, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello Prithee. Glad to hear from you !

I think you would be great in getting in touch with User:Tochiprecious on the topic. She will run some activities in Nigeria (but I have no idea if you both live in the same geographical area or very much apart from one another).

At the personal level, I am not sure if it might not give you too much work, but that's pretty much up to you in fact. I'll be happy to support you if you decide to do a Nigerian campaign. It would be great. Also ,please note the redlink page for the English wikiquote here : w:en:Wikiquote:SheSaid/RedLists.

What do you think Tochi ? Interesting in working with Prithee to get that Nigerian campaign of the ground ? Anthere (talk) 14:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi User:Anthere it would really be interesting working on it in Nigeria. We already got talking and working towards it.

Regards --Tochiprecious (talk) 14:49, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Perfect ! Anthere (talk) 19:44, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

#SheSaidNigeria

Concerning the #Shesaid Nigeria campaign I mentioned earlier this month, I already applied for an individual grant and hopefully will run it later this month. I have added a Nigerian section to the red list and hopefully will add more. I hope this project is a success. Many regards, Precious Prithee P (talk) 19:42, 1 October 2021 (UTC)

Campaigns Product Update #2

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers! We are excited to share our updates:

• Request for Feedback: We have shared our project principles, wireframes for the desktop version, and open questions for you about the team’s event registration project. See the latest status updates here.

Wireframes are design tools that imagine the future interface of the software. We haven’t built anything yet. We need your feedback on these designs so that we can make better product decisions. You can give feedback on the talk page regarding the design and features of the wireframes. We would love to hear your comments to help us establish the next necessary steps for the project.

Please share with us your feedback!

• Presentations: The Campaign Product team participated in WikiArabia 2021 and WikiConference North America 2021 to give a brief introduction on how the team works. Senior Program Strategist Alex Stinson gave an overview about campaigns and how we can scale the organizing experience within the Movement. Senior Product Manager Ilana Fried gave an introduction about the Product Team and the project wireframes of the first campaign software solution: the on-wiki registration tool. View the recorded presentation here.

• Team update: We have hired our first team engineer, JCarvalho and our campaign organizing fellow, IBrazal. Newsletter updates will be done by IBrazal and she will be coordinating with you! We hope to have the rest of the engineering team onboard soon! For those of who missed the last Campaign Office Hour, you may watch the recording to know more about the Campaign Product Team.

What is next?

Testers Needed! We will be partnering with YUX, a design research agency, to learn how our team can improve the experience of Wikimedia campaign organizers and participants in Africa. For this reason, we are looking for community members who are willing to be part of the rapid testing sessions. Preferably, we want organizers and editors who have worked in an African context. If you would like to participate in testing, please email ibrazal-ctrwikimediaorg.

Upcoming Conferences. Wiki Indaba 2021. This year, the conference will be held virtually on November 5-7, 2021 with the theme "Rethink + Reset : Visions of the future". Read more about the conference here or register to join the event. We will be presenting the registration features on Sunday November 7.

We will also be attending Wikimedia CEE Online Meeting 2021, which will be held virtually again this year on November 5-7, 2021. We will be presenting the registration tool on November 6 as part of our communication and sharing process.

Translation Support. We are also beginning to translate the updates on Registration. If you think your language community would benefit from updates, please translate here.

Response the question asked on NCPUG project page on Wiki Loves Africa.

Hello :Anthere I hope this message finds you well.

In regard to the question you asked on endorsement section of the project page of Nigerian Commons Photographers Usergroup (NCPUG). [1]

On wiki loves Africa photowalk project. The project belong to the NCPUG and it's for the whole Nigerian community.

And the application comes as a result of the call for the application,

I happens to attend the meeting and we discussed with the user Isla, and we explained to her about our idea of photowalk and she said is a good idea we can proceed.

I do hope this answe your question, Thanks, best regards.Musa Vacho77 (talk) 09:05, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

All right. Thank you for the clarification Anthere (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:33, 4 January 2022 (UTC).

How we will see unregistered users

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Policy for new logos

Hello Anthere, I just noticed that, some years ago, in the new section: Policy for new logos, you had added an statement: "I (Jimbo) would like to generally discourage this practice,...". I see you were a member of Board of Trustees and the founder of Wikimedia France, So I think it should be the same Jimbo (the founder) that is referenced here. If so, I am interested to know more about the context of that information you reported; for example if it was a meeting or a previous discussions with him somewhere else? (if it happens that you still have that information available at hand). Thanks a lot. Alfa80 (talk) 21:42, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello. You are speaking of something discussed... 17 years ago... I wish I had such a great memory. But given the page updated, and the reference to Jimbo, I expect this was the result of a discussion between Angela (on the board as well), Jimmy and myself. I’d say that the context... is the use of various funny logo variations during Christmas, which created some unstir and complains. Our board meetings back then were mostly hosted on IRC, no real notes that I could find back. But I usually was the one who documented publicly our decisions. Anthere (talk) 22:32, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Wow, great memory! thanks a lot. It really helped me improve my understanding about that point of view.Alfa80 (talk) 10:41, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Further context for the fun. It is in French, but you will probably get the sense of that vote, if not enjoy the picts : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Sondage/Logo Anthere (talk) 11:24, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Campaigns Product Update #3

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers!

We are excited to share our updates:

• Proposal to create new namespaces: We have proposed to create two namespaces, which are “Event” and “Event talk.” This way, we can easily create an Event Center that pulls data from event pages. This Event Center may include tools to create event pages with registration support, a calendar of events, and event statistics, among other features. More importantly, the Event Center will highlight organizing as an essential part of the Wikimedia movement. Please give us feedback on Phabricator or Meta about our proposal to create two new namespaces.

• Engineering updates: We are excited that we have finished hiring for our engineering team! Three engineers and an engineering manager have joined our team since our last update. In the last few months, they have conducted technical planning and launched the building phase of the project. They are now building the registration tool. You can see the updated team on meta.

• Design updates: We conducted usability tests with a small group of testers for early feedback on the desktop wireframes. After collecting this feedback, we have developed a new version for desktop wireframes, which will be ready to share in the next few weeks. These desktop wireframes display the user flow of two experiences: one for organizers who want to add registration to their event pages, and another for participants who want to register for an event. Additionally, the design team is also currently working on the first version of mobile wireframes, which will be shared during the next office hour.

1. View the latest desktop wireframes in Figma for Campaign Organizer Prototype and Participant Registration Prototype.

2. Leave us some feedback on the desktop wireframes. Note that we haven’t posted the newest version of the desktop wireframes on the project page yet, but we will soon (and you can feel free to add feedback on any version you have seen).

• Ambassador updates: Three product ambassadors for the Arabic, French and Swahili communities have now joined our team! They will help us collect feedback from Wikimedia communities about the project and understand the needs of organizers, through gathering first-hand information. These ambassadors are immersed as actual members of these communities, so they will also help us identify the needs of the organizers in our pilot communities. The ambassadors are: M. Bachounda for Arabic communities, Georges Fodouop for French communities, and Antoni Mtavangu for Swahili communities.

What is next?

Next Office Hour: We will be holding an office hour on March 31, 2022 at 15:00 UTC, which will be conducted via Zoom. We invite everyone to attend, and we really hope to see you! The focus will be on the Registration Tool. The team will also be providing community updates on the usability test findings and design highlights for the wireframes. We will also share our current Project timeline and answer any questions you may have. Join us and share your thoughts on these developments!

In a few months, we are expecting to have the early testable version of the tool. By then, the team will be doing the first round of general testing and gathering feedback. We are looking forward to adding more features on the tool such as communication support, potentially by the end of this year. If you know other organizers that might be interested in following these developments, please recommend that they subscribe to the newsletter. We want to receive as much feedback as we can.

Thank you!

Hi Anthere! Love to share with the group in any manner that can be pleasant for everyone in the UG. I have read the existing work in the group and find it wonderful. Some time ago I tried an offline project in the Mexican state of Chiapas but it was not possible to carry it out a that moment. Hopefully, regardless of the Board election, I can learn more about this so I can work on it in my country. Best,--ProtoplasmaKid (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Campaigns Product Update #4

Hello Campaigns Product Newsletter subscribers!

We are excited to share our updates:

• Event Registration v0

We have successfully launched Event Registration tool V0 on beta cluster and collected feedback from the first batch of testers. This tool is part of a more comprehensive organizing solution, the Event Center, which hopes to support movement organizers. Through this registration solution, organizers can collect useful data on campaign participants and their needs while respecting participant privacy.

Testing update. In our first round of feedback collection, testers were composed of different types of organizers around the movement with a language focus on Arabic, French, English, and Swahili communities. Most of the testers successfully created their test event registrations and signed up for a test event registration created by other organizers. Simple, easy to use, and aids in managing event participants were the common feedback we received from first-time users. In contrast, access and proper localization of the tool were the points for improvement identified. We are working on V1, which will include communication support and integration with the Programs and Event Dashboard. This will be released on Meta-Wiki soon. We hope to address accessibility during this launch and improve localization problems once the tool has been deployed in local wikiprojects.

The tool is still available for testing on the beta cluster. Feel free to leave feedback on our project talk page or this form.

• Organizer Lab
  Looking for a way to learn how to effectively organize around sustainability? Join the beta version of the Organizer Lab on WikiLearn to understand how to effectively organize a global campaign around sustainability and climate change! Applications are open from September 22 - October 19, 2022. The Organizer Lab will be a 9-week online learning experience from the end of October until mid December that prepares participants to obtain knowledge about the topics that they wish to create, a call to action for strategic knowledge gaps, as well as more generalized Wikimedia organizing and campaign/event design skills.

Read more about the program!

What's Next:

• Organizer Lab Information Session. We invite you to join our information session for the Organizer Lab on September 30, 2022 at 14:00 UTC via Zoom. Join this session!
  

• Organizer User Rights. We are reaching out to a pool of administrators from Arabic, French and Swahili communities to collect feedback on what is the best way to define organizer user rights, what privileges to give to community organizers, and what are the limitations of these privileges. Feel free to reach out to our product ambassadors or send an email to ibrazal-ctr@wikimedia.org if you are interested to be part of these conversations.

Community Feedback:

"Participants have been always asking the organizers are asked by participants whether they are registered, now participants will just look directly if they are registered, Thank you for creating the system"
- French Organizer

“I think that the platform will facilitate the process of promoting events and searching for participants”

Mauvaise longueur d'article

Bonjour. Je suis désolé de dire que le calcul de la longueur de l'article était erroné. Ceux-ci sont désormais corrigés. Malheureusement, vous devrez mettre à jour les requêtes "Quarry" que vous avez publiées. J'espère que nous gagnerons samedi mais vous avez une bonne équipe. Merci. -- User:Djm-leighpark_(a)^talk 01:04, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Wikitechstorm 2024

Hi we are planning to organize a Les sans pagEs/Wikitechstorm in Switzerland (French part). We are looking for organizers and volunteers ! Here is an initial draft page that will be moved to mediawiki once I have enough edits to be allowed to do it (or someone else moves it). Please reply on our talk page here : Talk:Les sans pagEs#Wikitechstorm 2024

We need your feedback on a tool from the Wikimedia Summit

Reminder: the guide to using Baserow, presented during the Wikimedia Summit.

Hi! I'm contacting you as one of the participants in the Wikimedia Summit 2022, to kindly ask for your feedback through a 5-10 minute survey to evaluate 'Baserow' (note: the survey is on a Google form).

Baserow was a tool through which participants in the Summit co-created a database of Movement Strategy activities. We hope to learn from you how useful it may be to keep using it in the future to help document and connect on Movement Strategy work.

You are welcome and encouraged to fill out the survey in any language. Your feedback would be very appreciated --Abbad (WMF) (talk) 14:54, 16 February 2023 (UTC).

Open meeting right after yours

Hello, Anthere,

Editing is hosting an open meeting about their new mw:Edit check project that begins at 17:00 UTC on Friday, which I think is right after the first Africa Environment meeting (assuming your meeting is just one hour).

Editing is centering the experience of newer editors connected to Africa for this work. They hope that encouraging the addition of sources before publishing the change will result in fewer good-faith edits being reverted. This time, they want to talk about RecentChanges and watchlist work (e.g., when you're deciding whether to revert, what are you looking for in the diff?).

If it doesn't overlap with your meeting or interfere with your plans, would you mind encouraging people to join Editing's meeting, too? Here's the video conference link: meet.google.com/ska-sivy-vth (English only this time), and the rest of the details are at mw:Editing team/Community Conversations#3 March 2023.

Thanks for considering my request. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:06, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Please pay attention to internationalization markers

Dear Anthere,

In your last edits of “Africa Environment/Results and best practices” page, you have removed many translate tag and unit markers, breaking the internationalization. I’m not sure whether it is expected because you haven’t provided any edit summary.

I am restoring the markup. Please take care to not removing it next time.

Regards, -- Pols12 (talk) 17:01, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

It was on purpose User:Pols12. I made the (bold) decision that our Results and best practices page will be ONLY in English. Now, if you REALLY want it to be multilingual... fine... but then I would appreciate if the addition of tags be ONLY added after we have finished writing the page. It is VERY complicated updating a page and moving things around when there are over 100 translate tags. Half of the time it is not possible to save because one tag is missing or embedded within another tag. Ultimately, that raises a question... what is more important... having an updated page with no markup, or an outdate report with markup ?

So right... we have to submit the report before Friday. So in a perfect world... best practices pages done by tomorrow. I do not have the time to really deal with markup stuff on top of trying to finish that page. So I will work on the best practices in my user space. But I sincerely object to the entire situation

Anthere (talk)

I have no strong opposition about removing the page for translation, but please explain what you’re doing using edit summaries. Since you left some translate tags in the page, I thought it was still expected to be translated.

Also, there is a nice “Remove from translation” feature in Special:PageTranslation which allows you, as a translation admin, to remove all markers at once.

Please feel free to use it, or to revert my last edits if you prefer keeping some translate tags as you did. --Pols12 (talk) 20:43, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

I did not know about the feature that allowed to remove from the translation feature. Good to remember this. Urgently Pols12... I need to finish this document as much as possible, and we need to submit the report. I’ll figure out translation when that is done. After. Thanks Anthere (talk) 21:10, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
