Questions from the Etherpad[edit]

I am moving the questions/answers from the Etherpad/content page here and will move them back to the content page with final answers as soon as they are ready. मयूर Mayur Paul (WMF) (talk) 18:24, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Questions from the Etherpad 1) 1% Community Tech Team budgeting: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Larger_suggestions#1% (would that be an increase over their current funding? I prefer 3x current if we're going to fix a percentage.) There will be an answer to this question on Meta after the event. Just gathering the details needed for a specific answer. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/2022-08-14_Wikimania_session#Questions_and_Answers

2) Should the Endowment invest in real estate? What kinds of investments should be excluded? There will be an answer to this question on Meta after the event. Just gathering the details needed for a specific answer. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/2022-08-14_Wikimania_session#Questions_and_Answers

3) What is the Foundation position on UN Decl. Human Rights Article 23, "Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration"? Answered in discussion, link to recording to follow after event. URL please?

4) Boardmember opinions on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Poverty&diff=1104356585&oldid=1100680982 ? Answered in discussion, link to recording to follow after event. The board do not oversee the editing of Wikipedia - that's the role of the community!

5) How can the Scots Wikipedia be made acceptable to natural language processing experts for translation systems?

6) WMF swept in with Office Actions in response to project capture / admin ajbuse on the Azerbaijani, Chinese, and Croatian Wikipedias in the last two years. This was rarely done in the past but was very welcome. Does the current WMF board think there should be more or fewer such interventions in the future?
