About this page

I'm trying build a comprehensive historical overview of wikimanias past & present -- please add relevant information if you know it. Thanks! -- phoebe 03:39, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikimania Handbook

Similarly, a handbook for running Wikimania, from the end of a bid and resulting volunteer and local interest (and preliminary press) to the crunch period leading up to a successful conference. 66.31.29.221 01:37, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikimania Committee

A discussion for a Wikimania Committee is linked above. Please contribute. Seddon 05:35, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Sub-pages

I find the sub-pages relating to Wikimania confusing, and it seems that structurally, they are redundant of the category system. For instance, I would like to be able to link to Wikimania Jury without creating a redlink. A redirect seems like it would address the symptom more than the problem. Any objections if I move these pages to their more natural titles, and let the category system keep track of what belongs with what? -Pete F 21:34, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

 Done -- I addressed this issue in most cases (moreso with the recent Wikimania pages). Wikimania jury (note lower case "j") is no longer a red link. -Pete F (talk) 02:46, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for all the quiet work you've put into curating and improving the Wikimania mes--^H^H^Hpages! :) Asaf Bartov (WMF Grants) talk 04:49, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing Asaf! I'm hoping to make it easier for everyone to navigate and find the information they need, whether they're a bidding team, jury member, media source curious about Wikimania…etc.

There's some even more important quiet work going on right now though -- I've noticed User:Harej is putting some effort into the Wikimania Handbook. I'm thinking some sort of barnstar might be in order… -Pete F (talk) 16:19, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

À propos des critères pour le choix des lieux d'organisation des rencontres Wikimania

Je pense qu'il serait à l'avenir souhaitable qu'un projet aussi humaniste que Wikimédia ait l'ambition de choisir ses lieux d'événements non pas seulement en fonction de leurs facilités balnéaires, mais aussi en fonction de critères tels que : le respect des droits de l'homme et des minorités, le respect de certaines valeurs démocratiques, la corruption régnant dans le pays... Il faut absolument intégrer ces éléments aux critères de sélection. Faire des conférences dans un pays où des gens meurent sous les balles pour certains, ou dans dans un pays où certains se gaveraient pendant que d'autres crèveraient de faim, c'est assez déconcertant, inconvenant, indécent :-/ 78.250.243.101 22:25, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Red link

Wikimania 2012 lessons is a red link, I'm reporting it because I am not sure it is meant to be like this. --Elitre (talk) 12:18, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
