Fragen der Community an Kandidierende
Vom 9. Juni bis zum 29. Juni 2021 können Mitglieder der Wikimedia-Bewegung über diese Seite Fragen an die Kandidaten für das Board of Trustees stellen. Sie können Ihre Frage in jeder Sprache stellen; das Elections Committee wird sich um eine Übersetzung bemühen.
Du kannst nicht nur eine Frage einreichen, sondern auch Fragen, die von anderen eingereicht wurden, unterstützen oder kommentieren.
Am 30. Juni 2021 wird der Wahlausschuss dann die Fragen zusammenstellen, die die Kandidaten ab dem 30. Juni beantworten können.
Diese Methode wird verwendet, um den Prozess für die Kandidaten, Übersetzer, den Wahlausschuss und die Wähler zugänglicher und überschaubarer zu machen. Wir bitten darum, die Zeit aller Beteiligten zu respektieren und die Fragenseiten nicht zu nutzen, um auf andere Seiten mit weiteren Fragen zu verlinken oder die Kandidaten auf ihren Diskussionsseiten oder per E-Mail zu kontaktieren.

Eingereichte Fragen
Thank you everyone who submitted questions for candidates. The question submission period is now closed. The list of questions the Elections Committee has selected for the candidates to answer can be seen on the Candidate Q&A page.
- Was denken die Kandidaten über die Erhöhung der Anzahl von Freiwilligen in den Projekten der Wikimedia Foundation und wie kann man dies erreichen?
- Wo möchtest du persönlich das Board im Verhältnis zu anderen Einheiten des Wikiversums (Communities, Affiliates, etc.) in Zukunft sehen (vgl. z.B. Ensure Equity in Decision-making)?
- Wie werden die Kandidaten mit der Community in Kontakt treten, sobald sie im Vorstand sind?
- Erkläre deine Gedanken zu Transparenz und Kommunikation.
- Endorse. --Yair rand (talk) 23:57, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Was sind deine Gedanken zu den entstehenden Wikimedia-Gemeinschaften?
- Warum denkst du, dass du ein/e gute/r Kandidat/in für einen Sitz im Board wärst?
- Endorse. --Yair rand (talk) 23:57, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Gibt es eine Verbindung zwischen Deinen beruflichen oder finanziellen Interessen und dem Board? Wenn ja, beschreibe bitte, wie Du sicherstellen kannst, dass dies nicht zu einer Beeinträchtigung führt.
- Wie sollte die Foundation mit Projekten umgehen, die von der Foundation betrieben werden und die eine hohe Anzahl von Widerständen im Wiki hervorrufen?
- Endorse. I believe this is, by far, the most serious issue the Foundation needs to resolve. Alsee (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse in the strongest possible terms. Seraphimblade (talk) 02:44, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse absolutely, "on-Wiki oppositions" and/or "over-all community disagreement"... -- টিটো দত্ত (কথা) 07:53, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse strongly. An important and sensitive issue. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:42, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse. --Yair rand (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse - Jr8825 (talk) 22:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Glaubst du, dass es Grenzen für den Wirkungsbereich der Wikimedia Foundation gibt, und wenn ja, wo liegen diese Grenzen?
- Wie stellst du dir vor, dass Wikis die Zukunft des Internets gestalten, und wie kann die Wikimedia Foundation Wiki-Gemeinschaften unterstützen, um diese Vision Wirklichkeit werden zu lassen?
- Wie können wir mehr Experten (Forscher, Akademiker, Praktiker) gewinnen, sich unserer Bewegung anzuschließen?
- Endorse but might add "while maintaining the ability of non-experts to contribute." Smallbones (talk) 01:34, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- Llywrch (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Was ist deine Meinung zum Autonomieanspruch der verschiedenen Wikipedia-Communities und den Versuchen, dass Wikimedia nun vieles zentral regeln will?
- Conditional Endorse. This is a good question in itself, but I consider #8 + #41 better. If those others are included then this question may have too much overlap. Alsee (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Was ist deine Meinung zum Rebranding von Wikimedia zu Wikipedia, das den Unterschied verwischt?
- Endorse --Andreas JN466 20:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- টিটো দত্ত (কথা) 15:37, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse Alsee (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -Killarnee (C•T•U) 20:44, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Suggest removing "which is blurring the difference" -- that part makes this a leading question. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:51, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse with ProcrastinatingReader's suggested modification. Seraphimblade (talk) 02:44, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse this question in either format. -- Llywrch (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse – Ammarpad (talk) 08:27, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse strongly. EpicPupper (talk) 17:29, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Glaubst du, dass die aktuelle Struktur der Regeln und Prozesse von Wikipedia Voreingenommenheit effektiv verhindert? Was, wenn überhaupt, könnte deiner Meinung nach getan werden, um den Kampf gegen Voreingenommenheit zu verbessern?
- Was denkst du über die wachsende Infragestellung, die Wikimedia-Projekte global haben und was würdest du dagegen tun?
- Es gibt mehrere Bewegungen da draußen (vor allem solche, die von Experten gegründet wurden), die genau die gleiche Vision haben wie wir (freies Wissen im Internet zu verbreiten). Aber sie haben sich entschieden, ihre eigene Plattform zu schaffen (oder andere Plattformen zu nutzen), um ihre Vision zu erreichen. Was ist deine Meinung dazu? Sollten wir versuchen, sie zu "integrieren", um Wikimedia beizutreten, oder sollten wir sie einfach ihre eigene Unabhängigkeit haben lassen?
- Was denkst du darüber, wie die Wikimedia Foundation in naher Zukunft (in den nächsten 2 bis 3 Jahren) effektiver mit den WikiCommunities des Globalen Südens zusammenarbeiten sollte?
- Endorse, global south and/or "emerging communities". -- টিটো দত্ত (কথা) 15:41, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse - Jr8825 (talk) 22:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Sollten sich die Wikimedia-Projekte stärker in die UN-Aktionsdekade einbringen (für die Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung, das Pariser Abkommen, die Ziele der Biodiversitätskonvention, etc...)? Und welche vermittelnde Rolle kann oder sollte die Wikimedia Foundation dabei spielen?
- Was sind deine Gedanken zur Zukunft von WikiSpecies, WikiNews, Wikiversity und anderen kleineren Wikiprojekten? Und wie kann die Wikimedia Foundation sie unterstützen?
- Endorse, absolutely, yes please. I'll add Wikisource, Wikivoyage also. These projects often do not get the required support, and I find this question very important. -- টিটো দত্ত (কথা) 07:57, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse (but fix the capitalization please). --Yair rand (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Hast du bestimmte Ziele oder Ergebnisse, die du während deiner Amtszeit als Vorstandsmitglied erreichen möchtest?
- Was bedeutet für dich Vielfalt in der Wikimedia Community? Und hast du einen Plan, wie sie greifbar oder quantifizierbar erreicht werden kann? (Beispiel: Reduktion von Datenlücken)
- Die Ausgaben der Wikimedia Foundation sind im Laufe der Jahre stetig gewachsen. Was sind deine Gedanken zu diesem Thema? Sollte es eine 5-Jahres-Obergrenze für die Ausgaben geben?
- Something like this would be good, but I don't think the question should specifically ask about caps. --Yair rand (talk) 23:57, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Deine Frage hier.
- Endorse this question. Probably the single one I would choose if only one question was asked. MarioGom (talk) 15:59, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse the concept but prefer wording/formulation of #50. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:47, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- What do you think about the WMF using funds for purposes not related to Wikimedia projects?
- Endorse. --Yair rand (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse - I should note that this should be interpreted as "clearly and directly", as our inherent nature means everything could be claimed to be vaguely related Nosebagbear (talk) 21:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Do you think the WMF should take any active role in relation to undisclosed paid editing?
- What do you think about Wikimedia_Enterprise? Do you think its criticsm is justfied?
- Endorse -Killarnee (C•T•U) 20:44, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Given recent comments by ex-staffers, should the new Board conduct an investigation about management misconduct at the WMF, including but not limited to bullying, union busting and discrimination based on sex, race or disabilities?
- Endorse. Especially given that multiple individuals raised such complaints, this needs to be investigated and resolved. Seraphimblade (talk) 02:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- Llywrch (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- (I recommend excluding the "including" part, to keep if brief.) --Yair rand (talk) 21:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse - Jr8825 (talk) 22:53, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- How should the 4 community board seats due to be selected in 2022 be filled?
- Have you, or any members of your immediate family, received any financial benefits from the WMF or a WMF affiliate in the past 5 years?
- How did you contribute to the Movement Strategy process, the Movement Brands Project, the UCOC process, the proposed Bylaws amendments, and the call for feeback on community board selections?
- Under what (if any) circumstances should the board extend the term of community-selected trustees?
- When should Foundation projects require explicit approval by the community and how should that approval be assessed?
- Conditional Endorse. This is a good question in itself, but I consider #8 + #41 better. If those others are included then this question may have too much overlap. Alsee (talk) 20:38, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- If you had been a Board member in 2019, would you have supported the Board's statement on the ban of Fram from the English Wikipedia? Would you have proposed any changes or additions to this statement?
- Allegations of a hostile workplace environment at WMF have been made by former employees here and here. What is your reaction to this and is there anything that you would do as a board member to change this?
- Katherine Maher recently floated the idea of paying contributors. Should the Foundation start discussions on what a model of compensation would look like?
- Endorse -Killarnee (C•T•U) 20:44, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Given the amount of work stewards do, do you think stewards should be paid? Why (not)? If yes, how much?
- Should there be a waiting period between the time a Board member leaves the Board, and they take on an employee, consultant, or other paid role with the Foundation?
- Endorse. Chico Venancio (talk) 19:44, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse --Andreas JN466 20:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -Killarnee (C•T•U) 20:44, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse. Seraphimblade (talk) 02:50, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- Llywrch (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse --RaiderAspect (talk) 12:57, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- though I'd prefer How long should be the waiting period... rather than Should there be a waiting period.... AllyD (talk) 06:07, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- B25es (talk) 16:57, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse - Jr8825 (talk) 23:06, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- To reduce the possibility of conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflict of interest do you commit to not accept any employed or remunerated position with the Foundation for at least the duration of your stay on the board and 6 months until after leaving the board?
- Endorse --Andreas JN466 20:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse. Seraphimblade (talk) 02:50, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- Llywrch (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- AllyD (talk) 06:07, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse -- B25es (talk) 16:57, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Non-affiliated volunteers (i.e. volunteers who are not members of any Wikimedia affiliate) do most of the work on the wikis, yet elect only a quarter of board seats. Do you think this is right?
- How can WMF deal with proposed or established intermediary liability rules in different countries and safeguard the local Wikimedia volunteers from prosecution by government agencies?
- The Foundation rejected repeated calls to make the Movement Strategy a consensus process. I believe none of the resulting projects have an established consensus, including the Code of Conduct. Rebranding was 92% opposed,[1] and an item to undermine our core content quality policies appears to have 100% opposition.[2] I believe those running the process clearly advanced their own agenda, disregarding all opposition. Do you consider the Strategy process legitimate? Do staff have a valid mandate to impose these Strategy projects on us? (Please to not get sidetracked on the merits of any particular project, this is a process question.)
- Would you be in favor of hiring an outside firm to do an independent audit of board actions over the preceding two years?
- As a board member, would you encourage the board to evaluate the wisdom of close relationships with specific outside groups such as the Tides Foundation?
- What are your thoughts on how to handle the competing representation issues between giving "seats in the room" for smaller/medium projects at the expense of reducing the "per-editor" vote of large projects, such as may be a question for the Global Council? An example of a proposal along these lines can be seen here, with issues raised on the talk page.
- What do you think about the problem that there are arbitration committees in a few wikis, but not in all, and so the parties can transfer their conflict to other wikis in order not to be punished there, or if the conflict was already on the other wiki, there is no independent dispute resolution body at all? What do you think of a single point of contact for all wikis? Otherwise there would often only be a) abandoning the project to avoid the bullying or b) a civil lawsuit.
- How important is privacy for you? Are you in favor of anonymous editors not automatically publishing their IP address, or should Wikipedia continue to lag behind in terms of privacy?
- Several severe communication issues have been reported with the iOS and Android mobile apps and the web client, all currently in production. Do you agree with the WMF's response to these? More generally, how can the community ensure the difficulties they experience with the software are prioritised in development resource allocations?
- Endorse - Nosebagbear (talk) 10:01, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Endorse MarioGom (talk) 16:19, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Do you feel the current spending and available personnel on development issues (both on building new features and fixing bugs in existing ones) is too low, too high, or about right?
- Endorse but I would favor wording of #23. MarioGom (talk) 16:19, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
- Which past Board resolutions or other actions would you vote to overturn, if any?
- What percentage of the WMF's annual budget should be allocated among the following categories: (1) maintaining server uptime now and in the foreseeable future, (2) clearing the phabricator backlog, (3) recruiting new participants, and (4) everything else?
- Conditional Endorse. Another category should be added: "Improving and modernizing the interfaces for readers and editors" not limited to the current phabricator backlog. DGG (talk) 01:56, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- A number of board members, as well as C-level Foundation employees, have been brought onboard who never provide any clue what their opinions or thoughts about Wikimedia's mission is or should be -- neither at the beginning of their tenure nor at any time afterwards. What thoughts do you have about requiring them to provide some statement to the volunteers on this matter? -- Llywrch (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Do you believe that communication with individual editors as a Trustee is important? What are you views on how quickly, and in how much detail, Trustees should be expected to reply to individual queries by editors with regards to issues and their role (as an average across the year/term)?
- Do you think a community member can be an effective CEO of the WMF? Should the WMF look within the communities, rather than outside, to fill that vacancy?
- Do you think that a larger portion of the board seats should be directly elected by the community?
- Wikimedia Foundation has no dedicated accessibility team, do you think we should be doing more given both legal (Americans with Disabilities Act etc.) and ethical ramifications? Should web accessibility be a commitment by the Board of Trustees itself, like with, say, BLP policy?
- Name three elephants in the room. How do you propose to deal with them?
- From the 8 prioritized Movement Strategy initiaves (letterd A to H on Movement Strategy), the top priority is creating a Movement Charter whereby a Global Council will be created, and resposibilities will be transfered from the (Board of Trustees) of the Wikimedia Foundation to the Global Council. Please elaborate on this top priority.
- Should the Board wait until after the elections to choose the next CEO?
- What skills and qualities would you look for in the next CEO?
- Should the WMF fundraise in impoverished countries?
- Who is ultimately responsible for the Board of Trustees collective ability to follow its own procedures, policies and code of conduct?
