The Wikimedia Foundation announced a new group of grantees working to increase gender diversity in Wikimedia projects. In early March, we announced the Inspire campaign, an initiative to create new ideas that address Wikimedia’s gender gap. Now we’re following up on our commitment to fund a first set of 16 new projects coming out of the campaign.

Several of these projects will focus on organizing events. These projects will use social and professional communities, institutions and partnerships to increase content about women on Wikipedia. Meanwhile, two research initiatives will work to increase our knowledge about women who aren’t yet contributing, and to understand more about trends in Wikipedia’s gendered biographical content.

This campaign itself began as an experiment in proactive grantmaking. As with all good experiments, we’re learning as we go. We have shared findings and recommendations, based on a participant survey and a study of statistics for the campaign pages.

"La semaine dernière ce soir" de John Oliver est une émission de télévision satirique populaire aux États Unis qui passe en fin de soirée. Dans un épisode diffusé le 19 mai, Oliver a critiqué les politiciens des États-Unis au sujet du vote contre une loi sur les dénonciateurs qui permettrait de protéger les producteurs de poulet indépendants des représailles quand ils prennent la parole sur les problèmes de l' industrie de la volaille. Il a appelé ses téléspectateurs à modifier les biographies de ces représentants au Congrès sur le Wikipédia anglais, en incluant une vulgaire déclaration sur leur relation avec le poulet .

Ceci a nécessité que les éditeurs bénévoles de Wikipédia se coordonnent rapidement sur des panneaux, afin de nettoyer le vandalisme sur une large gamme d'articles . L'incident montre l'impact que peut avoir un message venant de la bouche d'un comédien sur le Wikipédia et ses bénévoles .

Les collectes de fonds pour la Wikimédia Germanophone – mais aussi pour l'ensemble du mouvement Wikimédia – nous aide non seulement à atteindre des objectifs financiers, mais contribue également à nous faire prendre conscience de notre mission. En moins de cinq ans, les revenus des collectes de fonds annuelles de la Wikimédia Germanophone sont passés de 700 000 € à 8 200 000 €.

Wikimedia Deutschland's goal for the future is to persuade donors to become long-term supporters of free knowledge and the Wikimedia movement. This report provides a glimpse into their strategy on how to maintain and consolidate their donor relationships. Looking ahead to future challenges, there are calls to intensify donor relationships, to focus on donors’ needs, and to further diversify fundraising communications.

Kamarniso’s Wikipedia editing adventures began when she discovered the Uzbek Wikipedia in 2007. Realizing the vast potential of what was a small project at the time, she tried her hand at creating and editing articles with no specific interest in mind. She translated articles from Russian Wikipedia to the Uzbek Wikipedia, and soon after, from the English Wikipedia as well, improving her Russian and English language skills in the process. There are now over 127,000 articles on Uzbek Wikipedia, many of which Kamarniso helped to create and improve.

The Wikimedia movement in Tunisia has grown actively over the past few years. Nearly forty Wikipedians, from around the Arab region and beyond, gathered last April in Monastir for WikiArabia 2015, the first Arabic Wikipedia community conference. The three day conference was a huge success, having included practical sessions prepared by community members, a session on the Wikipedia Education Program, and a Q&A opportunity with Lila Tretikov, Executive Director of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Active community members also shared their personal experiences with Wikipedia, as well as some of the offline projects and case studies they led from around the world. While no consensus was reached on whether to host another WikiArabia conference next year, most spoke of the value of this in-person regional event, and there was an infectious excitement for the potential of this growing segment of the Wikimedia community.

Belgian anthropologist Lionel Scheepmans observes the differences between online and offline participation in the Wikimedia movement, based on a visit to the Wikimania 2014 conference in London. In his essay, he identifies some of the disparities between the values, ethics and organizational structures of online Wikipedia projects, and offline conferences and gatherings.
