Appeal from editor GoEThe[edit]

Not a lot of people know I write Wikipedia articles. Like many of you I was just looking for information on a particular topic and ended up on the English version of Wikipedia. Then I noticed something on the left-hand side of the screen: links to other languages. I followed the link to the article in Portuguese since I thought I might as well read it in my native language. The article was not as complete as the English version, which left me a bit disappointed, but instead of giving up on it, I started translating some bits from the English version and gathering information from other sources.

It is still quite surprising to know that Wikipedia has versions in over 200 languages. It even has a version in Mirandês, a language only spoken in a small village in Portugal. If nothing else, documenting small languages, languages that may soon disappear, is one of the major contributions of Wikipedia to the world. Wikipedia has changed the world in so many ways!

We are now asking you to keep changing the world. Every single donation will help the mission of Wikipedia and of the Wikimedia foundation: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet has free access to the sum of all human knowledge. And in their own language.

People like you make this happen!

GoEThe

Editor, Wikipedia.

Comments[edit]

This is my attempt at an appeal. GoEThe 16:34, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is really cool. I especially like the focus on language. Small suggestions: 1st paragraph (english->English 2x); 1st paragraph (as I thought->since I thought or because I thought); 2nd paragraph (Wikipedia has version->Wikipedia has versions); 3rd paragraph (keep the world changing->keep changing the world or keep it going or keep it growing...).

Thanks for your comments. I made the changes you suggested. GoEThe 18:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Checagem fraudulenta de Ruy Pugliesi!!![edit]

Peço revisão imediata da verificação feita por Ruy Pugliesi nas últimas horas do seu mandato [1] e o meu desbloqueio, pois é evidente que não sou Guru2001. Também não foi nem pedida a verificação por ninguém, nem houve qualquer motivo justo para a verificação. E as evidências de comportamento são totalmente infundadas. Eu fui considerado relacionado com Guru2001 por fazer edições em política e no PT. Verifiquem minhas contribuições, eu nunca editei em política! As únicas edições foram incluir uma imagem da futura presidente da república [2], num artigo dos mais acessados e editados da Wikipédia. E no commons, eu apenas incluí a imagem que queria colocar na página da Dilma e depois votei na melhor imagem da Dilma. Isso não é edição política, como o Guru2001 era especializado. Então não há motivo válido para verificação e não há evidência de relacionamento entre as edições das duas contas. E se forem verificar os IPs é claro que não compartilhei IP com essa conta Guru2001. Esse meu bloqueio infinito é uma perseguição de Ruy Pugliesi, pois votei contra ele para o ArbCom [3] e outras votações que provavelmente não votei como ele queria. É uma questão de justiça essa revisão de checkuser, porque não tenho nada a ver com Guru2001 e a fundação Wikimedia não pode permitir que um editor use de uma função para inventar relações entre usuários que não existem, apenas para bloquear quem queira. Peço um mínimo de justiça!!! Ricco21 13:09, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GoEThe: espero uma análise isenta do meu caso. Qualquer um vê que não há a mínima relação entre essa conta antiga, Guru2001 e a minha. Ou vale qualquer justificativa para violação, tipo "ambos escrevem em português brasileiro, logo devem ser a mesma pessoa"?

E como comentei aos stewards, qual é a confiabilidade de dados mantidos off line? Tem como saber se não foram editados? O que eu fiz de errado, só porque votei contra o Ruy Pugliesi quando ele quis ser árbitro? E porque votei contra a prorrogação do seu mandato? Essa conta Guru por acaso votava nessas situações? Onde está a presunção de boa fé? Eu fico bloqueado há um mês e o violador está lá, se candidatando a mais cargos de burocrata e verificador! E como falei na outra página, o Castelobranco como verificador durante a violação da minha conta deve ser impedido de "julgar" esse caso. Ricco21 18:28, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Como falei lá no pedido aos stewards, acho o cúmulo que eu tenha que autorizar nova violação da minha conta, quando vocês mesmo não vêem motivos para fazer a verificação, MAS NÃO ME DESBLOQUEIAM!

não houve motivo válido para verificação (se houve, gostaria de saber qual)
as evidências mostradas pelo Ruy mostram que não há nenhuma relação entre as contas. Ou os árbitros concordam que as contribuições mostram que é a mesma pessoa?
meus dados da verificação vão ser comparados com o que? Como disse, não pode ser em dados editados off line sob guarda do principal responsável
tem muita gente que criticou o Ruy ou votou contra o que ele queria e que foi verificado. Eu sou mais um caso assim. Se ele quisesse bloquear vc em infinito, também poderia inventar que há alguma conta bloqueada que usou os mesmos Ips seus! Isso deve ter uma prova isenta!

Thank you GoEThe![edit]

I would like to thank you for all of your help translating and organizing translators during this fundraiser. Every time I sent out a request, the translation was completed in record time. Your collaboration was paramount to the success of the campaign and personally, made my job a very pleasant one. I wish you well in the year ahead and hope our paths cross again.Klyman 18:24, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You[edit]

I also wanted to personally thank you for writing an editor appeal for the fundraiser this year. I'm sorry we weren't able to use all of them, but I really appreciate you taking the time to write and submit one. Thanks again - Deniz (WMF) 21:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From WM-ES[edit]

¡Obrigado!...sempre agradável para acolher os nossos irmãos do Ocidente. Esperemos que em breve possamos trabalhar juntos. P.S.: desculpe pelo meu mau Português;-)--Marctaltor 11:21, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Translator, We need you![edit]

Dear GoEThe,

You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.

Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.

If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.

Many Thanks

A barnstar for you![edit]

Hi! I just want to thank you and give you this barnstar for your help with the translation of the 2011 fundraiser! The fundraiser was the best we ever had, both in terms of the amount we collected and in terms of number of translations. We couldn't have done either one without the help we got from you and other translators. If you are interested, we made a report, which has some statistics about the translations.

And: I have one more request, and that is that you take this survey. You may have got an e-mail about it, and if you did, please ignore this. But if you didn't it would be great if you would take this survey too, so we can learn to improve the translation experience.

Again, thanks for your help with translations – you're awesome! Jon Harald Søby (WMF) 13:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

O nosso Português[edit]

Olá boa noite. Para que compreenda o porquê das minhas preocupações com a língua portuguesa: estou neste momento a ajudar uma professora de violino a apresentar as suas dissertações para provas de mestrado: ajudo-a corrigindo os textos. Deparo-me com termos que não são usuais em Portugal como por exemplo: "o ensino ... a noção de pertencimento que é traduzida em desejo de aprender... o esforço do aprendente" Não me leve a mal, só fico triste quando imagino as nossas crianças dentro de uns 10 anos a não saber como falar e escrever português.

Individual Engagement Grant proposals due 15 February 2013[edit]

Hello GoEThe! Thank you for drafting an Individual Engagement Grant proposal.

The deadline to submit a completed proposal to be considered for funding in this round is 15 February 2013.

When you have completed all 3 parts of your proposal, please submit it for review by updating the wikimarkup in your page from status=DRAFT to status=PROPOSED. If you have questions or need more help submitting your proposal, you can ask for it at IdeaLab Help. Thanks!

Olá GoeThe. Mudei o nome. Este é menos infantil, o outro tinha sido escolhido pela minha netinha e tive que lhe pedir autorização para mudar.

Não tenho nada contra o vídeo em brasileiro, porém sinto-me "sufocada" por eles. O termo é mesmo esse "sufocada". Não podemos tentar fazer nada sem ter que ter a alternativa brasileira. No início foi estabelecido que o vídeo seria em português europeu - era uma obrigatoriedade. Só existem cedências de Portugal para o Brasil como o acordo ortográfico feito à revelia do povo português e contra o qual estão milhões de portugueses. Eles não cedem em nada nem tentam corrigir os erros gramaticais! Usam neologismos "a torto e a direito" e acham que está muito bem. Substituem os títulos dos artigos portugueses por termos brasileiros. Estamos a tentar lutar por Portugal mas o projecto está a desviar-se. Desejo que os meus netos e os seus filhos aprendam um português correcto e não cheio de brasileirismos, caso contrário prefiro que falem inglês e pesquisem na en:WP como já fazem os nosso alunos universitários (infelizmente). A necessidade do vídeo não é tão importante como o Português correcto. Os nossos jovens não são menos inteligentes que os jovens brasileiros e eles não necessitaram de vídeo. Não é a dificuldade da linguagem wiki que afasta os portugueses e o GoeThe sabe-o tão bem como eu. Por exemplo as agressões de que somos alvo são uma das razões. Há poucos dias fui de novo chamada de mentirosa. Isto é muito desagradável. Sobretudo quando talvez seja um fedelho de 20 anos que está a chamar de mentirosa uma pessoa de 65. A falta de respeito, as discussões infindáveis por uma palavra, a disputa por um título de um artigo, a agressividade e repreensões de administrador para administrador sem ter em atenção que o repreendido tem tutorados e está a ser humilhado, criam um ambiente do qual dá vontade de fugir. Nas alternativas de títulos ou nas fusões é sempre o termo brasileiro que ganha pois têm a maioria e terão cada vez mais. Neste momento prefiro colaborar na en:WP. Menos um português a editar na pt:WP. Se eram 30, agora são 29. Vou lá só para responder a quem me contacta na minha PDU e por respeito para com essas pessoas. Não digo que saí, pois não saí, assim não me consideram DIVA, mas o silêncio é pior. Lamento Nini00 (talk) 15:47, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ups! aqui ainda não mudaram o nome o novo é DocElisa em honra dos maiores amores da minha infância: a medicina e a minha avó. Nini00 (talk) 15:52, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Olá, Nini00, digo DocElisa :). O nosso projecto continua o mesmo, não se preocupe com isso! Podemos é ter alguma coordenação com eles. O vídeo que o R. Argenton colocou como exemplo teria que ter outra legendagem para ser usado em Portugal. Mas poderia ser usado o mesmo vídeo como pano de fundo para a legendagem. GoEThe (talk) 16:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mas, continua interessada em participar na Grant? Se sim, precisava da sua ajuda a preencher a tabela em Grants:IEG/Community_engagement_in_Portugal#Budget:, nomeadamente as tarefas em que quer participar. GoEThe (talk) 16:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As tarefas em que desejo participar vão desencadear discussões e não creio que sejam viáveis. Correspondem aos dois últimos parágrafos: a agressividade, a tutoria e os problemas linguísticos. Nem o GoETh nem o Manuel se pronunciaram sobre estes assuntos. Sozinha não sei se conseguirei fazer algo de útil. Não gosto de abandonar um projecto mas sinto que vou meter-me numa fogueira. Na minha opinião o vídeo não vai alterar nada se não corrigirmos os outros assuntos. Por exemplo quem vai de cidade em cidade pôr os posters nas câmaras e Universidades? Contrata-se alguém creio, tudo bem. Mas sem tutoria correcta e com a agressividade dos avisos nas PDUs os novos editores não ficam nem uma semana. Os novos editores portugueses deveriam ser integrados como os alunos do projecto WP na Universidade.
O que é que eu escrevo na página do budget? Não tenho experiência sobre isso e receio fazer asneira. Peço a sua ajuda por favor. Obrigada.
PS: Como é que eu peço a renomeação da conta aqui? Sou sempre enviada para a página da ferramenta de renoameação... Nini00 (talk) 19:23, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Em relação a posters pensei que talvez se pudesse contactar associações de estudantes de Universidades e contactar Câmaras e Juntas de Freguesia, para incluirem em algum magazine uma nota sobre a acção. Os problemas de agressividade serão mais difíceis de resolver e talvez não tenham solução única. Uma solução que cheguei a propor aos programadores encarregues do Liquid Threads (que seria basicamente uma mudança nas páginas de discussão) seria incorporar um sistema de classificação de comentários pela comunidade prejudicando os mais agressivos e recompensando os melhores. Isso traria alguma pressão social para que os editores tenham comentários mais construtivos. Em relação aos problemas linguísticos, temos pt:Wikipédia:Versões da língua portuguesa. Se houver alguma coisa que ainda não está resolvida nesse texto, pode ser proposto texto adicional para o melhorar.

Na página do budget, também estou como a Nini00, não tenho experiência naquilo e não sei em relação aos valores se estão exagerados (para cima ou para baixo), mas preciso pelo menos de pôr todos os participantes em alguma alínea (pode ser preciso adicionar alíneas).

Para a renomeação, deve fazer um pedido em Meta:Changing username, acho. GoEThe (talk) 10:34, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quanto ao budget - o que considera project management? E o que é Wikimedia merchandise for CD participants? Creio que devemos preencher esses campos até totalizar os 30 000 que é o valor máximo. Afinal vamos necessitar de perder tempo, fazer despesas, deslocações, etc.

Vejo que estamos os dois na mesma situação queremos melhorar mas temos 2 impasses 1 - a agressividade que não vejo como resolver. (Creio mesmo que está a aumentar) e 2 - os erros gramaticais. Não se trata só dos termos brasileiros. Quando um administrador escreve isto: "Lhe informo formalmente que foi aberto um pedido para lhe desnomear" (a gramática deles é igual à nossa, verifiquei e o Tom confirmou) já sabemos o nível de escolaridade, como vão sair os artigos e que tipo de decisões serão tomadas. Por isso eu continuo a defender a separação pt/br mas parece que estou sozinha nesse barco. Não compreendo de que têm medo. Não imagino que idade tem o GoEThe mas pode imaginar os seus filhos a consultar a pt:WP e falar assim na escola? As notas de fim de período irão ser lindas. A minha neta tem 9 anos... É isto que temos que defender custe o que custar. Infelizmente continuo a defender que enquanto a maioria dos editores forem brasileiros não podemos fazer nada pois perdemos sempre em todas as votações. Agora está em discussão critérios de notoriedade... faz-me sorrir pois ninguém ousa dizer que um dos critérios de notoriedade é ser brasileiro. Veja "É tudo tão simples" ganhou na votação por ser notório (duas fontes com conflito de interesses: a autora e o próprio livro e mais ainda a página da autora com uma pseudo fonte: um jornal que nem fala dela. Nunca poderemos lutar contra isto a não ser que sejamos autónomos. Mas enfim, estou com vocês e vamos tentar fazer alguma coisa Nini00 (talk) 21:48, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Aumentei o budget para focalizar os esforços na publicidade e vídeo. Se os nossos esforços não derem resultados, já sabemos porquê e qual será a solução... Se não estiver de acordo esteja à vontade para alterar. Um abraço Nini00 (talk) 22:00, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

O Manuel deixou-nos vamos ter muuuito trabalho. Mas energia não falta. Nini00 (talk) 22:05, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dados[edit]

Oi GoEThe, tudo bem? Primeiro, parabéns pela proposta! Sobre os dados que o Tom comentou, tem uma planilha que mantenho aberta (já publiquei por alguns meses na esplanada), que mostra a queda, ano a ano, dos editores ativos (olhar mês a mês não dá muita noção do que está acontecendo). No entanto, o que eu tinha estratificado por país é de um momento da Wikipédia (de abril/maio de 2012), em que 76,75% das edições estavam no Brasil e 12,75, em portugal. As demais estavam em outros países, liderados por Estados Unidos, com 3,51% e Holanda, com 1,71%. O restante é irrisório. Vou tentar compartilhar essa planilha também.

Abraços! --Oona (WMF) (talk) 15:33, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oi GoEThe,

veja o que a WMF está fazendo regularmente no Labs: http://gp-dev.wmflabs.org/graphs/pt_wp_brazil. Você encontra dados de editores mês a mês por local. São dados de editores (e não edits). Acho que isso pode te ajudar. --Oona (WMF) (talk) 19:45, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018[edit]

Greetings,

Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.

Kind regards

The candidate for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is asking you to support his candidacy![edit]

Hi GoEThe,
I ask you and your local organization to consider my candidacy for the candidates for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. I myself put forward my candidacy for this election. I ask you to support my candidacy, as I have a strategic vision of the next. Each of the foreign language sections of the Wikimedia Foundation project must receive the widest support. This will ensure an increase in the content of your linguistic local of the Wikimedia Foundation projects. Other linguistic local communities of the World can count on the same support. Also, I believe that all foreign language sections of the Wikimedia Foundation projects that are less powerful than English speakers should have the same chance for the rapid growth of their local projects.
In case you and your local organization support my candidacy. Then, I ask you to write this in my profile of the candidate for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. You can write this in the "Endorsements" section of my candidate profile.
Thank you for your attention!
Kind regards, — Yithello (talk) 11:55, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to affiliate members to complete a survey about WMF wide Universal Code of Conduct[edit]

Hello; My name is Mervat, and I am helping the Trust and Safety team to reach out to affiliates in order to discuss the Universal Code of Conduct. I am contacting you as you are a member of the Wikimedians for Sustainable Development User Group. If you have received this from other user groups/chapters, you can ignore.

There has been talks about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time, and finally, Wikimedia Foundation Board announced a Community Culture Statement, enacting new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.Since the universal code of conduct that will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe, and will impact our work as groups, individuals and projects, it’s of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC, its nature, what we think it should cover or include and what it shouldn’t include; how it may develop, drawback or help our groups. This is the time to talk about it. As you are a valuable contributor to the Wikimedia movement, your voice counts. Before starting to draft the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you; We invite you to devote some minutes to take this survey; your answers will help us create a safer environment for all on Wikimedia:

(English) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd36dNdU3C5shXEkKp9itJOhuCTx9hZE5AE-xflkxtfRMnZtg/viewform?usp=pp_url

It’s possible that you are a member of more than one affiliate; hence you may receive this survey more than once, and you may have participated previously in the discussions or filled out a previous survey during the first round of consultations about UCoC which targeted wikipedia/wikimedia communities. We apologize for this; it is really difficult to identify if a wikimedian belongs to multiple groups that work to spread free knowledge. Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions and hoping that you can respond within the next 2 weeks. If you have any questions about the surveys or difficulties accessing the link, please contact me by email (msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org)Results will be considered during the drafting process for the UCoC. Thank you for your participation.

To help set priorities for the SWAN agenda, and also to help manage which global conversations should be a focus in general, we have set up and invite everyone to participate at this SWAN priorities form. Possible topics include Community Board seats, Interim Global Council, Strategy prioritization follow-up events, Branding, Universal Code of Conduct, Grant strategy, and WMF CEO search. That is a lot of things, which are most important to cover in our upcoming SWAN meeting?

Following the regular call, in SWAN after hours: Wikimedia Meet Jitsi social event with brainstorming for possible Nano Charter ideas, plus any other topics.
