Welcome to the Project Grants Committee

Hi Joalpe,

Thanks for signing up to join the Project Grants Committee! It is my pleasure to confirm your membership. We've got a lot to accomplish together, particularly during the next 2 months, and it will be awesome to have your help. Here is how to get started!

To make your membership official, please email mjohnsonwikimedia · org by Sunday, August 14, and include the following three pieces of information:

1. Your preferred email address for the committee mailing list
2. Your preferred username for the committee's scoring tool
3. Indicate all of the times from this list that would work for you to participate in a Committee Orientation:
   1. Tuesday August 16, 2016 - 1600 UTC
   2. Tuesday August 16, 2016 - 1900 UTC
   3. Wednesday August 17, 2016 - 0100 UTC
   4. Thursday August 18, 2016 - 1600 UTC
   5. Thursday August 18, 2016 - 2200 UTC
   6. Friday August 19, 2016 - 0100 UTC
   7. if none of the above times work for you, please provide at least two times that would work for you (be sure to indicate the date and the time zone)

Then, there are 2 first tasks for active committee members to start on right away:

1. Read the information in the Committee Workroom (your committee organizing hub on meta), beginning with the getting started guide for new members.
2. Start giving feedback on open proposals. Ask questions or make suggestions on the proposal talk pages to gather information you’ll need to make a recommendation. Your input helps prospective grantees think their projects all the way through and helps other committee members with their own review. The more you can support applicants now, the stronger the proposals we'll have to choose from.

The general calendar for this round is as follows:

Round 1 2016 schedule

Open call: 1 July – 2 August

Proposal deadline: 2 August

Staff eligibility review: 3–9 August

Our formal review of proposals starts on August 24. WMF staff will be posting information about scoring and selection of proposals on the committee mailing list, so please keep an eye there!

Thanks again for joining us to help make impactful Project Grants! :-)

Thanks for your participation during the Inspire Campaign focused on addressing harassment from June 2016.

2. Pilot projects

We've got financial support for 2017!

The Community Wishlist Survey

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018

Greetings,

Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.

Kind regards
On behalf of Wikipedia and Education UG, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 11:44, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

The Affiliate-selected Board seats process welcomes your support

Hello. You are receiving this message because you are active in the field of translations <3 The movement needs you! The Nominations phase has started for the ongoing selection process of two Board members, and the timeline is quite tight.

A Translation Central is available to help translators figure out what's been covered and what's left to do. Over the course of the next few weeks, your attention on candidates' profiles is particularly welcome.

While there are four languages that are especially relevant for multiple affiliates (namely Arabic, French, Russian and Spanish), we are asking your help for Chinese, Ukrainian, Bengali, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Polish, Farsi, German, Cantonese, Finnish, Hindi, Thai, Dutch, and Greek, as these also matter to affiliates! If you can't help: please see if you know anyone in your circle who could, and spread the word :) Thank you! Elitre (WMF) and Facilitators of ASBS 2019, 21:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Introdução de Fotos

Olá, Joalpe. Gostaria que você incluísse duas fotos que estão disponíveis em (http://www.fgv.br/cpdoc/acervo/arquivo-pessoal/EG/audiovisual/ernesto-geisel-lucy-geisel-e-amalia-lucy-geisel-no-gabinete-da-presidencia-da-republica). Inclusão das fotos 3 e 9. Grato pela ajuda. ClaudioMassena (talk) 01:48, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@ClaudioMassena: as fotos não são livres. --Joalpe (talk) 02:33, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Joalpe: Nesse caso o que se pode fazer? ClaudioMassena (talk) 03:22, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@ClaudioMassena: É preciso falar com o CPDOC/FGV e ver se formalmente aceitariam liberar a imagem. Ou seja, é preciso fazer uma parceria. --Joalpe (talk) 14:47, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@Joalpe: Entendi. No caso você conseguiria fazer isso? Porque a foto de Lucy Geisel no artigo das Primeiras-damas do Brasil é muito antiga, antes do período que Ernesto Geisel assumiu a Presidência da República. E a que está no CPDOC/FGV são fotos oficiais do dia da Posse. ClaudioMassena (talk) 14:55, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

@ClaudioMassena: Uma parceria desse tipo costuma envolver muito trabalho. Veja aqui a lista de parceiros com os quais já trabalhamos. Não temos fôlego infelizmente para eventualmente iniciar um trabalho com um parceiro como o CPDOC/FGV. --Joalpe (talk) 17:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Community Wishlist Survey 2020

Hello!

You are getting this message because you've previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey, in either the Wikisource or Wiktionary categories. I wanted to let you know that this year's survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until November 11.

You can learn more on the survey page.

You can vote on proposals from November 20 to December 2. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won't send out a separate reminder to you about that. We look forward to your participation. Thank you! IFried (WMF) (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)

The Organizing Team is excited that you will be coordinating the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) Campaign in the Brazilian community and we are happy to provide the necessary supports for you to run a smooth campaign.

The WPWP Campaign started on the 1st of July 2020 and entries would close on the 31st of August 2020.

We would like to know when the campaign will start in the Brazilian community so that we can effectively monitor the campaign progress there.

If we have your start date (1st August 2020 for example), we can configure your community hashtag for tracking metrics. This would be aggregated with the general hashtag, #WPWP.

Kindly note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, #WPWP Campaign activities/events are strictly online.

Please let us know if you require further information.

You could email me directly (reachout2isaac@gmail.com)

Editing me on talk, and canvassing

1. Do not edit me on Talk ever again. If you have concerns with anything I write either add your own comment or take it to my Talk page or leave it to someone else.
2. This Meta guideline about IRC links to EnWiki's Canvass guidelines, and a this Meta-search returns 103,686 hits for "canvass", many of which show canvassing discussed or enforced here on Meta. Either there is Meta guideline somewhere saying canvassing applies more broadly, or it is an accepted norm which is applied on Meta regardless of whether a local page has been written up. You know full well that no Meta admin would count the votes if I called in a hundred 4chan trolls to vote on something.
3. Given that you are currently the only support vote, given that the proposal is going down in flames, given that I'm about to post additional info to ensure it stays opposed, I don't want to waste any further time on your edit war or dragging this to admins. Enjoy keeping your <s>. Alsee (talk) 07:17, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

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) 14:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC).
