Movement news items for November 2011 [edit]

As announced last month, suggestions are welcome for important topics to cover in the "other movement news" part. The following topics are covered in the current draft at the moment:

  • Wikimania videos
  • French freedom of panorama
  • Al Jazeera image donation

This issue is to go out soon (tomorrow morning UTC), but hints about other important news are still welcome. This is a chance to inform many non-English speaking Wikimedians about them - the last issue was translated into 11 different languages. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) 18:19, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Notification of the next issue of Wikimedia Highlights [edit]

Is there talk page or other notification of these highlights? As the Signpost does:

If not, can this be implemented? How does one get notified of new editions of Wikimedia Highlights? I don't want to be notified by the watchlist for the meta wiki, or my talk page here. I rarely check either of them. By the way, when will there be a global watchlist?

I want to be notified via the English Wikipedia watchlist, or on my English Wikipedia talk page. --Timeshifter (talk) 17:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

It should be possible to add this to the Global message delivery. Tilman, would that make sense from your point of view?--Eloquence 20:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that's a good idea, and on here someone just asked the same question. (BTW, for the Signpost, I had set this up myself together with MZMcBride last year. In my experience it needs a bit of time to grow, but many people seem to have found it useful eventually.)
It needs some thinking about the format of the notification message - I guess a copy of the TOC might work, I put a mockup below, feel free to improve - and especially about how to do this in a scalable way for the translations (many non-English speakers would rather be informed when a translation in their language comes out).
For now, I have set up a subscription page for the English version: Global message delivery/Targets/Wikimedia Highlights, you are welcome to subscribe by adding your user name there, and in early January you should find the message about the December Highlights on your talk page on your home project.
Regards, Tbayer (WMF) 21:56, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for subscribing me! I have received the Highlights on this talk page: en:User talk:Timeshifter --Timeshifter (talk) 13:40, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Movement news items for December 2011 [edit]

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I wrote up the first one for Wikimedia Highlights, December 2011. We looked at the second one as well - it's an interesting project, and the EU support is notable, but in the end we were a bit on the fence about whether this counted among the three or four most important news items from the whole movement during that month. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) 23:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Movement news items for February 2012 [edit]

Candidates:

Thanks for the suggestions, covered several of them. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 12:17, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Movement news items for March 2012 [edit]

Movement news items for April 2012 [edit]

Candidates:

Many thanks for the suggestions (also those per email)! This issue is out now and will soon be ready for translation. Wikidata, the Tamil contest and Highbeam are covered as separate items. The Rolls Challenge and the Welsh meetup fit together as a Monmouth item and the BR Wikipedian in Residence is part of a combined WiR item. The Malayalam conference was already mentioned in the WMF highlights part, the Dutch hire and the CCCB workshop seemed a bit thin as isolated items, and I didn't have enough information about the tagging and assessing item.

Suggestion: Monmouthpedia launch, see wmuk:Reports/2012/May#Monmouthpedia_launch and outreach:GLAM/Newsletter/May_2012/Contents/UK_report for info. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 16:31, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! Monmouthpedia was actually already covered in last month's issue, but indeed the launch itself and its big media echo makes it worth considering to feature it again. Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 19:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
