candidate statement - please clarify

[edit]

Hi, I am translating your candidate statement now, and I don't know how to translate "Wikipedia takes...". What does it mean? Ofrahod 08:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ofrahod: I mean this kind of scavenger hunt and free content photography contest like "Wikipedia takes Manhattan" (which I think was the first one). In our case, in spanish the literal "Wikipedia takes..." doesn't sound that well, so we called them "Wikipedia invades..." (like Wikipedia invades La Plata Natural History Museum").Patricio.lorente 09:54, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I see now. So in my translation I will do something similar to what they did in Spanish. Thanks! Ofrahod 12:22, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Questions to Board candidates

[edit]

Based on the statistics concerning the number of pages read in previous years' Q&As, I infer that few voters take them into account. Personally, I see it as a very interesting exercise despite the fact that we the candidates are also the main readers. I believe it is a unique type of debate among us that is especially interesting.

I have noticed that User Alecmconroy suggested a very interesting series of questions on strategic issues. They can be seen here: User talk:Alecmconroy#More questions for Board Candidates (or others). I have given my opinion, but I see he has not communicated directly to the candidates this set of questions. Perhaps you find them interesting.

I wish you the best possible result in these elections and, if you agree, I suggest that we continue having this type of debate regardless of who is chosen.

Cheers and good luck.--Gomà 09:21, 29 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Posted to all candidates talk page:

To aid in the fair evaluation of all the candidates, especially those not active on EnWiki, verifiable data about the candidates is being compiled. Anyone is invited to help compile the data since it is all publicly available on-wiki.

But since the people best qualified to help are the candidates themselves, it seems reasonable to ask:

  • Which languages do you speak? (voter statement)
  • Which projects do you contribute to?
    • For each, when was your first edit?
    • For each, how many total edits? (exact figures not need)
  • Which projects are you an admin on?
  • Are you a bureaucrat? which projects? when?
  • Are you a CheckUser? Which projects? When did you start??
  • Are you a steward? If so when were you made one?
  • Have you served in a verifiable leadership role on a project? (e.g. Like EnWiki's Founder or Arbcom member)
  • Have you served in a verifiable leadership role on at the Chapter or Foundation level? (Trustee, etc)

Are there any objectively verifiable facts that should be included in this guide but aren't?

Why Did You Support Granting Private Information of Editors to Anonymous Administrators?

[edit]

Dear Mr. Lorente,

I am dismayed that you and the rest of the board of trustees approved an "Access to No-Public Information" policy that allows totally anonymous administrators on the English and all the other Wikipedias to see the IPs and other potentially personally-identifying information (browser version, settings) of volunteer editors. Even though not usually immediately identifying in itself, this information can obviously be used as a stepladder to identifying through tools like Geolocate and TraceIP, as well as supporting indicators in websearching other clues from the editor's edit history.

Would you please inform me the factors that led to your support of the non-identification revision to the policy? Why would you have done this?

For your reference (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Access_to_nonpublic_data_policy) "[t]his policy has been replaced by a new Access to non public information policy, which was approved by the Board of Trustees on 25 April 2014."

I don't deny that Wikipedia's administrative participants in some cases do constructive work, in policing clear vandalism for example, or reporting to the WMF the rare cases of threats of violence. But access to personally-identifying information is not needed for that. If there are cases where volunteer administrative participants do somehow need that information, it should be entrusted to identified individuals, not anonymous usernames like "Wizardman" and "Beeblebrox" and "Dord" and so forth. Authorizing checkuser and the other tools to anonymous participants is going to attract, and has attracted, exactly the wrong kind of individuals. It's emboldening, frankly, creepers and cyberbullies. And those who participate in Wikipedia as if it were an online computer roleplaying game, without regard to the fact that those they choose to sniff and snoop (and pursue) are actually people as opposed to a computer game's NPCs (non-player characters).

Have you ever been snooped and sniffed, cyberbullied, websearched, by some creep online? I have, and it's not nice. I think if you'd been treated that way, and really understood the reality of the cyberbully culture, that you'd stand up now and reverse your support of the WMF's granting of these invasive privacy-violating tools to wholly anonymous and thus unaccountable administrative participants. Is that what it's going to take for you to change your mind? Somebody has to do it to you?

Please respond as to why you supported granting access to IP-invasive and potentially personally-identifying tools like checkuser to anonymous administrative participants.

I won't sign up to the wikimedia-l mailing list just to send this mail, so here it comes...

[edit]

With all respect, but - presidente - I think we have all understood that James' expulsion was legally OK. I, by the way, do not think that we were in need of additional explanation regarding this part of the story.

I am, however, a little startled that once again the effects of such an action in (y)our online community have not been adequately addressed. Someone who replaces James physically will be found within weeks, maybe months, but isn't it clear that with this action and this "explanation" the "working together" ideal seems unmasked yet again, after a couple of clues we were gives that superprotect etc. would not happen again and that the relation between community and WMF was finally improving? And isn't it cristal clear that restoring confidence will take longer than this couple of weeks, maybe months? You won't be able to replace your dedicated community, if it is fed up once and for all.

Yet another thing: I truly hope that this was not the end of opinion pluralism in the board.

Hi! As I stated in the email I sent today, difference of opinions is not a motivation -at all- for this decision. I myself had (and will have) differences with Board's decisions in sensitive topics. Just take a look to past resolutions and see who voted what. We not only respect different voices at the Board: we need them, we encourage them. This is not about that. Best regards, Patricio.lorente (talk) 17:07, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
So after the superprotect disaster, where the Board failed the community in a massive way, the board once again decided against the community and for the bureaucrats, at least that's what's emanating from your non-messages in the mailing lists. The community matters far more then the WMF, which is just a service entity for the community. Why is the board so anti-community? Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 17:21, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
You are just wrong. I belong to the community, I am a wikimedian. Patricio.lorente (talk) 17:28, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
You were already board member as the board denied the community backing against the putschists in the superprotect disaster. That decision was a decision explicitly against the communities and for some rough-shot programmers. Have you apologised yet for this massive failure? Anyone, that voted there against the community has lost his/her right to proclaim him/herself as being part of the community. Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 17:37, 31 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yikes, that's harsh. FWIW, I strongly disagree. Not to minimize the importance of either the superprotect disaster or the current situation, but to say that these actions mean that Patricio or any other board members are no longer part of the community is unreasonable. --Yair rand (talk) 23:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Re your statement to Wikimedia-L 2015-12-31

[edit]

Hi Patricio. Thanks for your email to Wikimedia-L on behalf of the board, unfortunately, I find it inadequate, bordering on naïve and dismissive, and from the Foundation completely sub-standard to the Wikimedia's ethos. Please would you look to address the following components in a follow-up email to the list, or here, I mind not which it is.

The election of James was clearly an indication of the community's vote/expression of their desire for more openness and more information. That should have been evident, and the first that the community hears that this is not a viable option is his sacking from the Board. Do you believe that the removal of a board member is the first that the community should hear about issues with one of their nominated representatives?

The Board's decision does not specifically mention a breach of any of the component of corporation law, Bylaws, nor of the Code of conduct policy.

  • Does the board find it suitable that there is a specific decision without reference to one of those components as a reason for removal?
  • Or is there just a general feel that the person could not work with the board?
  • Was there discussion about the community's expectations to the base issue for which they were finding that the (removed) board member was recalcitrant?
  • Will the Board be able to better specify the pertinent aspects so that the community is able to better judge current trustees and future candidates? [At this time, there is nothing to guide the community, and that is not feasible for future elections.]

There is no mention in the Trustees previous minutes of the discussions about confidentiality, specifically or generally.

  • Does the Board not think that these sorts of discussions, especially as relate to a serving board member, are irrelevant, or of less pertinence to the community?

You mention in the email the fiduciary duties, which include Board confidentiality, and we must respect them in this decision. Umm, would you please extrapolate on that rather ambiguous statement. My understanding of fiduciary [1] seems to be somewhat different. If you have a specific definition of the duties please would you get WMF Legal to point to these so that we do not argue at cross-purposes.

[To note that I am neither for nor against James. I have no specific issue with the board exercising its rights to remove a board member, though, when they do, I do expect a reasonable and informative response.] I understand that sometimes hard decisions need to be made, however, I expect them to suitably justified. I have some (growing) concerns over the direction of the Foundation, and the Board's response in this case just gives me more reason to question the approach and direction. The community expects as much openness as reasonably possible, this attempt fails in my opinion. The response seems to be an email to try to extinguish a fire that has already burnt. The risk management undertaken by the board with regard to a formal proposal seems pitiful. There seems that there was no plan to how a response could be managed, and that seems another example of naïvety and short-sightedness. If there was no plan in place, then why would it be put to the Board at that time?

That the community is expected to sit back and relax while the board fumbles for a reply, to the point that the "one unified reply" is unable to even be managed by all board members. So, in short, the Board has mismanaged their board meeting and their response. Some Board members have been unable to manage themselves to even follow the Board's directive afterwards. Who or what is right?

If this is not the appropriate forum to get these responses, then please direct me to the appropriate means to have these matters addressed. I look forward to an informative response or a directive otherwise.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:10, 1 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
