Queering Wikipedia 2023 conference

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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

WHO on the fediverse

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello! I forgot, are you on Mastodon or elsewhere in the fediverse? I can't find you on Wikis World or my follows. I wanted to share that James Love of KEI has «Asked the WHO to create an instance and use it to engage the public on its pandemic treaty negotiations today, speaking in Committee B of the World Health Assembly». I suspect you know how to pass the message to some well-meaning persons inside WHO. Cheers, Nemo 07:14, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Student seeking advice and feedback on editing an article

[edit]
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Lane! I'm a student working on revising the "Food Deserts" parent article and creating a new article on food deserts in the US, and I'd greatly appreciate any input and feedback from you as I work on revising and creating content.

I drafted a section titled "Causes" to add to this parent article because I recognized a lack of information about the proposed causes of food deserts in the current version of the article. However, in my research, I discovered that most of the proposed causes behind the formation of food deserts are in the context of the US because food deserts is a primarily Western concept that is most relevant for the U.S and the U.K. Because I'm also planning on creating a new child article focused on food deserts in the US, I'm thinking of adding my newly-drafted causes section to the new article and focusing more on the idea behind not being able to apply the same food desert framework to other countries in this article. What are your thoughts on this? My draft of the "Causes" section is available for viewing in my sandbox (User:Cd631874/Food desert#References).

I also finished my draft of the new sub-section titled "Alternative Frameworks to Food Deserts" in my sandbox that I intend to add to either the existing parent article or the new child article. I'm conflicted as to whether to include both the global and US perspectives on the shortcomings of the FD concept in this article as they both provide unique perspectives into FD's potential limitations, or whether I should put the US-specific proposed limitations of food deserts just in the new child article focused on the US. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this matter.

Thank you so much! Cd631874 (talk) 05:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter

[edit]
Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:

Newsletters Galore
We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.
Growing Strong
The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.
Wikimania Talks
Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.
Content Creation Magic
Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
Campaigning hard
We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen

PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.
