Hello, I am Samuel Klein, wikipedian, linguaphile, and inclusionist. I am currently working on a national digital library, and at a "purpose of the Internet" research group. In the past I directed part of a global education project and served as a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Currently working on Matchery to help groups improving the open Internet find legal help in all jurisdictions. My writing background consists of a few journals and newsletters, doggerel on the back of exams, broadsheets on telephone poles, philosophical essays, and marked-up drafts of [others'] texts in red and blue. My academic background includes physics, mathematics, algorithms and language. In the Wikiverse: you can find me on the English Wikipedia, and occasionally on Wikibooks, Wiktionary (see also mod-wiktionary), the OLPC wiki, and some smaller language wikis: Nahuatl and Swahili. Currently taking collab notes on Hypothesis XXX - synchrony across annotation systems for all sorts of knowledge (e.g., via hypothes.is and open annotation).

Thoughts

News : Managing translations revisited. Long-term strategy for Wikimedia projects is being discussed and planned with some vigor | How Wikipedia Works, a book on using Wikipedia from nostarch press (with cameos by the sister projects) | LSS revived! | coralline ideas for generalized message-distribution : a way around the 100-mailing-list coordination problem. | Pimp your edits! | Mailing lists/cleanup

Interesting : Modern translation and coordination @ the Embassy, pages linked from Requests. A new Stewards noticeboard. A new Main page? Level activity across request types, improve feedback for uses of Special:CentralAuth, improve [[Help:]] pages about cross-wiki special pages/tools. New contributor objections

FDC complaint mid-2015 without clear timeline for response?

Fun : SJ Klein with Wikipedian Guy, reprises of old Wikimedia Quarto sidefeatures... like interviews with Ward Cunningham and Larry Lessig.

Status, Thoughts

The Dao of Wiki * Quirks of int'l grantmaking

Resolved, that ... WMPH - why did these stop being shared on Meta? Cross-wiki links needed.

I am thinking of ways to

1. improve key sites: Wikimedia website(Main, Fundraising, GFDL), http://www.wikimedia.org redirection page
2. improve key meta pages: Goings-on(t), Meta:Babel(t, Interorg relations.)
3. move meta-discussions to meta:, from en: and other subprojects.
4. improve community:
   • better multilingualism / translation across WM,
   • nuanced interactions with new users, playful trolls, nascent vandals, non-editor readers; article validation
   • meshed ideas, empirics, and [pre]conceived notions relating to community infrastruture, vision-building, interaction, insight and insanity, ...
     • Old essays: Various Wikipedian essays, Wikipedia commentary
     • Old ideas: Send this article to a friend, ...
5. unify discussion: power structures within WM and across WP-instances (covering Ver ein/ Wreader and es: split issues as well as the mundane)
6. help propose new projects: Wikifamily, Wikinews, Pa/Pr/Fu, Media, Prufing, Review...
7. design a few feature improvements
8. help people who reuse wikimedia content recognize the projects the content came from
9. help others and future selves see what I see
10. share test writing and wiki work
