Community feedback and straw poll

[edit]
  • English: In light of recent events, including the publication of survey text and naming proposals, I feel it may benefit the WMF to see how the community feels about certain naming-related issues, transparently and on-wiki. Therefore, I have created the below poll. This is an informal poll, and does not replace the WMF survey, which you may wish to complete. Best, --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 21:07, 16 June 2020 (UTC)reply
  • Deutsch: Im Lichte der aktuellen Entwicklungen, vor allem der Veröffentlichung des Textes der Umfrage und der Namensvorschläge, denke ich, dass es der WMF helfen wird, zu sehen, was die Community in Bezug auf bestimmte mit der Umbenennung zusammenhängende Dinge fühlt, transparent und on-wiki. Daher habe ich die untenstehende Umfrage erstellt. Das ist eine informelle Umfrage, sie ersetzt nicht den WMF survey, den Du vielleicht trotzdem ausfüllen möchtest.
  • Italiano: Alla luce dei recenti eventi, inclusa la pubblicazione del testo del sondaggio e delle proposte di nome, io credo che WMF potrebbe avere vantaggi vedendo cosa la community pensa riguardo ad alcuni problemi relativi alla denominazione, trasparentemente e su wiki. Perciò, ho creato il sondaggio sottostante. Questo è un sondaggio informale, e non rimpiazza il sondaggio WMF, che potreste voler completare.

Question 1

[edit]

English: Please indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: Any survey about naming proposals should include the status quo as an option, with the same prominence as proposed new names.
Deutsch: Bitte gib an, ob Du folgender Aussage zustimmst: Jede Untersuchung über Namensvorschläge sollte den Status quo als eine Option anbieten, mit der gleichen Darstellung wie neue Namen.
Русский: Сообщите, пожалуйста, согласны ли вы или нет со следующим утверждением: любой опрос о предложениях по именованию должен включать в себя "статус-кво" в качестве опции с тем же значением, что и предлагаемые новые названия.

فارسی: لطفاً اعلام کنید که با جملهٔ مقابل موافقید یا مخالف: هرگونه نظرسنجی دربارهٔ نام‌های پیشنهادی باید حاوی گزینه‌ای باشد مبنی بر حفظ «وضعیت موجود»، با همان میزان برجستگی گزینه‌های نام‌های پیشنهادی جدید.

français : Merci d'indiquer si vous être d'accord ou en désaccord avec la déclaration suivante : Un questionnaire avec des propositions de changement de noms devrait inclure une option avec le statu quo, option qui aurait la même importance que les autres options.
Italiano: Per favore, indica se concordi o meno con la seguente affermazione: Qualsiasi sondaggio sulle proposte di denominazione dovrebbe includere lo status quo come opzione avente il medesimo risalto dei nuovi nomi proposti.
Español: Indique si está de acuerdo o en desacuerdo con la siguiente declaración: cualquier encuesta sobre las propuestas de nombres debe incluir el status quo como una opción, con el mismo protagonismo que los nuevos nombres propuestos.

Agree

  1. Ad Huikeshoven (talk) 15:13, 17 June 2020 (UTC) The survey asks your opiniong on 3 naming proposals, and has room to enter your own naming proposal as fourth proposal, which you could use to include the current naming convention. So, the survey provides already what you are asking, demanding, needing, wishing, wanting.reply
    I don't believe this is true, at least when it come to the "same prominence" part. We're not making people write in the 3 naming proposals, so why make them write in the alternative? TomDotGov (talk) 16:55, 17 June 2020 (UTC)reply
    It's akin to requiring voters for an election candidate write in the name/info and showing other candidates prominently as easy options. It's not remotely fair, except when it appears the vast majority opinion is for the status quo. Vermont (talk) 01:34, 18 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Question 2

[edit]

English: Please indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: The Wikimedia Foundation should change its name to one of the 3 Foundation-proposed names. (The three Foundation-proposed names are "Wikipedia Network Trust", "Wikipedia Organization", and "Wikipedia Foundation".) If your answer is "Agree", please specify which name(s) you would like the Foundation to be renamed to.
Deutsch: Bitte gib an, ob Du folgender Aussage zustimmst: Die Wikimedia Stiftung sollte ihren Namen in einen der drei von der Stiftung vorgeschlagenen Namen ändern. (Die drei vorgeschlagenen Namen sind "Stiftung des Wikipedia-Netzwerks", "Wikipedia-Organisation" und "Wikipedia-Stiftung".)
한국어: 다음 설명에 동의 여부를 표시하여주세요: 위키미디어 재단은 재단이 제안한 3개의 이름 중 하나로 이름을 변경해야 한다. (재단이 제안한 세개의 이름 - "Wikipedia Network Trust", "Wikipedia Organization", "Wikipedia Foundation") 답변이 "동의"인 경우 변경되어야 할 이름도 작성하여주세요.
Русский: Сообщите, пожалуйста, согласны ли вы или нет со следующим утверждением: Фонд Викимедиа должен изменить свое название на один из трёх предложенных Фондом вариантов. (Три предложенных Фондом варианта названия - "Wikipedia Network Trust" ("сетевой Траст Википедии"), "Wikipedia Organization" ("организация Википедии") и "Wikipedia Foundation" ("Фонд Википедии"). Если ваш ответ "согласен", то укажите, пожалуйста, в какой (какие) именно из вариантов вы хотели бы переименовать Фонд.

فارسی: لطفاً اعلام کنید که با جملهٔ مقابل موافقید یا مخالف: بنیاد ویکی‌مدیا باید نامش را به یکی از سه نام پیشنهادی از طرف بنیاد تغییر دهد. (سه نام پیشنهادی توسط بنیاد عبارتند از «شبکهٔ امانی ویکی‌پدیا»، «سازمان ویکی‌پدیا»، و «بنیاد ویکی‌پدیا»). اگر موافق هستید، لطفاً مشخص کنید که ترجیحتان با کدام نام(ها) است؟

français : Merci d'indiquer si vous êtes d'accord ou en désaccord avec la déclaration suivante : La Wikimedia Foundation devrait changer son nom pour l'un des trois noms proposés : "Wikipedia Network Trust", "Wikipedia Organization", "Wikipedia Foundation". Si vous êtes d'accord, merci de préciser quel choix à votre préférence.
Italiano: Per favore, indica se concordi o meno con la seguente affermazione: Wikimedia Foundation dovrebbe cambiare nome in uno dei tre nomi proposti dalla fondazione (i tre nomi sono "Wikipedia Network Trust", "Wikipedia Organization" e "Wikipedia Foundation"). Se la tua risposta è "Concordo", per favore specifica quali fra i suddetti nomi sono di tua preferenza.

Agree

  1. Skalman (talk) 21:13, 21 June 2020 (UTC) Having "Wikipedia" in the name would simplify many parts of the branding. I prefer "Wikipedia Foundation", though I like all of the suggestions better than the status quo.reply
  2. All three proposals are fine and remove the confusing "Wikimedia" from the name of a group of projects that is known primarily for Wikipedia, and receives donations primarily intended to keep Wikipedia running. My personal favorite is "Wikipedia Organization" because it is a non-profit organization mainly about Wikipedia, and can be nicely abbreviated to "Wikipedia.org".

Many users from the projects said no to this question, many others are not sure about this. Over the past 15 years WMF has alienated itself from the community that creates the content. That raises for me the question if WMF should not become independent from the rest of the Wikimedia movement with a name that reflects that.reply

There should be a separation between WP-community and foundation (at least, that's what I feel is a strong wish in the German WP). But - above all: this poll does not have a morally (!) correct basis, as the question has been answered before. Why don't you respect the community's whish? For me, the community comes first - and then Wikimedia. (whoever sees this poll as legitimate should maybe read the Wikipedia history and it's principles again).reply

If the Board goes on with these choices, it would be very interesting to see how the lawyers can then convince a court and a judge that "Wikipedia is not Wikipedia".

    I like "Wiki Foundation" myself, with or without a space in the middle. Some people I know already call it that. While one possible confusion is the idea that it would support other wikis, that would a) would be a fine idea, possibly a rather impactful one given how little support most open-source wiki projects have or need to thrive, and b) one could say this already happens with new Projects like WD and perhaps Wikilambda. –SJ talk  01:17, 19 June 2020 (UTC) (Instead of deletion, as the post by Laurentius would otherwise be wrong, I just invalidated it.

    If I interpret correctly the question, these three answers should be under "Disagree" and not under "Other", since the statement is "The Wikimedia Foundation should change its name to one of the 3 Foundation-proposed names". "Other" should mean that you neither agree nor disagree with changing to those three names. - Laurentius (talk) 13:52, 19 June 2020 (UTC)reply

  • Wikifoundation (or Wiki Foundation, or even Wiki Network Trust) are all fine for me. --.mau. ✉ 20:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Note that "Wiki Foundation" is not really an option (I think), because the Wikimedia projects are not the only wiki websites that exist. I've seen the suggestion "WikiKnowledge Foundation" instead. PJvanMill (talk) 00:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)reply
    • Wikiknowledge Foundation caught my eye too (can't recall right now who mentioned it). Perhaps there should be some open (that means on-wiki not Facebook, etc.) brainstorming for community-submitted ideas. It could surface some more contenders like this. Suggest: whether it's Wikimedia, Wikipedia or Wikisomething Foundation, the abbreviation could be shortened to "WF". Pelagic (talk) 14:48, 1 July 2020 (UTC)reply

Question 3

[edit]

English: Please indicate whether you agree or disagree with the following statement: The Wikimedia Movement should change its name to one of the 3 Foundation-proposed names. (The three Foundation-proposed names are "Wikipedia Network", "Wikipedia Movement", and "Wiki".) If your answer is "Agree", please specify which name(s) you would like the Movement to be renamed to.
Deutsch: Bitte gib an, ob Du folgender Aussage zustimmst: Die Wikimedia-Bewegung sollte ihren Namen in einen der drei von der Stiftung vorgeschlagenen Namen ändern. (Die drei vorgeschlagenen Namen sind "Wikipedia-Netzwerk", "Wikipedia-Bewegung", und "Wiki".)
"한국어:" 다음 설명에 동의 여부를 표시하여주세요: 위키미디어 운동은 재단이 제안한 3개의 이름 중 하나로 이름을 변경해야 한다. (재단이 제안한 세개의 이름 - "Wikipedia Network"("위키백과 네트워크"), "Wikipedia Movement"("위키백과 운동"), "Wiki"("위키").) 답변이 "동의"인 경우 변경되어야 할 이름도 작성하여주세요.
Русский: Сообщите, пожалуйста, согласны ли вы или нет со следующим утверждением: Движение Викимедиа должно изменить свое название на один из трёх предложенных Фондом вариантов.

Если ваш ответ "согласен", укажите, пожалуйста, в какое (какие) именно из вариантов вы хотели бы переименовать движение.

  162. Pelagic (talk) 15:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC) Arguably there are Wikipedia, Wikidata, Linked Data, Wikisource, WikiGLAM, etc. Movements that are distinct from but overlapping with the broader Wikimedia Movement. Different people will be passionate about some areas but not others.reply

  1. I wouldn't be opposed to names that use some other variant on Wiki, provided that Wikipedia is not used. Such proposals need to gain consensus at an RfC. TomDotGov (talk) 17:03, 17 June 2020 (UTC)reply

  6. I had nothing against "Wikimovement" as an option (there might something even better, but it's fine), but this forced way to present the survey was a disaster.

  7. I could live with WikiMovement / WikiMovement Network / WikiMovement Foundation (or WikiKnowledge/WikiSomething) provided there is consensus for it, and that it's understood that non-Wikimedia Wikis (like Wikia) will always be confused with as possibly being part of us (which is already the case anyway). InterWiki/InterWiki Network/InterWiki Foundation would also work. Headbomb (talk) 19:06, 29 June 2020 (UTC)reply

  • Wiki Movement, even if a bit general, would be ok. But I can even accept "Wikipedia and friends": the important thing is that Wikipedia must not be alone, lest we forget the sister projects. --.mau. ✉ 20:46, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
  • A lot of other terms don't lend themselves to forms like "Wikipedian" and "Wikimedian". Pelagic (talk) 15:23, 1 July 2020 (UTC)reply
  • Wikimedia movement (which is notably at a page without the capital M) sounds like description of behaviors, not a formal organization. If they're intent on renaming it, the suggestions here don't feel like they are good descriptions. Maybe something like Wiki movement or Wiki values would work, but neither using Wikipedia nor shortening it all the way to Wiki makes the concept clear. Ost316 (talk) 23:11, 9 July 2020 (UTC)reply

Straw Poll Meta-Comments

[edit]
Extended content
Can I suggest this not be done, or not be done here and now and on this page? There are a lot of balls in the air today, and if we're going to have an RfC-like discussion, it might make sense to wait a bit and see if we and get some buy-in from the Foundation contributors to this project. TomDotGov (talk) 21:51, 16 June 2020 (UTC)reply
They have started this premature sham survey, what do you expect from them? I can't see any glimmer of understanding in any of their answers, they live in a parallel universe, that's disconnected from the Wikimedia community and really don't seem to want to change this. Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 21:55, 16 June 2020 (UTC)reply
So far, today, I haven't seen anyone outside the WMF that supports the WMF's proposals. As far as I can tell, nobody outside the WMF has supported them on-wiki in over a month. So who are we trying to convince? I'd rather give the WMF some time to process this, and then I hope we can begin working together to see if a name better than Wikimedia is possible. TomDotGov (talk) 22:03, 16 June 2020 (UTC)reply
Yes, but as we know from the history of this, they falsified surveys to fit their purpose before, and I don't trust them the tiniest bit, that the current "survey" will not be abused by the renamers with falsified "outcomes", to push for their agenda. I really don't know why, what is the secret behind their reckless renaming enterprise, but nothing in the open up to now makes any sense here. Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 22:08, 16 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Would anyone be opposed to moving this poll to a transcluded sub-page? We're getting a lot of diversity of people, and that might make it harder to follow longer-form discussion on this talk page. TomDotGov (talk) 22:05, 17 June 2020 (UTC)reply

This discussion led to the creation of this dedicated sub-page. The paragraph is just here for completeness. Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 19:22, 18 June 2020 (UTC)reply

This straw poll was started here, there's now just a table with the aggregated numbers. Grüße vom Sänger ♫(Reden) 09:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)reply

Open for signatures - Community open letter on renaming

[edit]

Dear all,

There is an open letter that requests a pause to renaming activities being pursued by the Wikimedia Foundation 2030 Brand Project.

Individual editors and affiliates can sign with their logged-in account to show support.

The letter focuses on concerns about the process, and not about specific naming choices. With more than 50 major chapters and affiliates and 700+ individuals signing the statement, and more than a dozen translations, we are seeing great interest in this issue.

Related to this: the branding team is conducting a survey that runs until July 7. There is concern that the consultation process and options on the survey do not adequately reflect community sentiment, given the effect name changes for the foundation and movement would have. This served as a motivation for the open letter. Useful links are below:

  • Brand survey for individuals - Qualtrics survey. If there are options you would like to highlight outside of the three provided, it is possible to write in your own options and views at the end of the survey.

There will be a WMF board meeting on July 8 to discuss the branding issue, so it is important to express your views now.

Thanks - Fuzheado (talk) 18:00, 6 July 2020 (UTC)reply
