Wiki Loves Africa site notice / for Algeria

Bonjour Flo, Bonne année pleine de joie et de belle surprises, j'ai deux questions : 1: Pour la notice en arabe / fr destinée à l'Algérie a qui je m'adresse ? 2: Pour les 2 plug wikifundi qui va les apporter a Accra ?

--Mohammed Bachounda (talk) 11:39, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello Mohammed @User:Bachounda

Pour la première question... User:Seddon (WMF)

Pour la seconde... c'est moi. Bon par contre... j'ai réalisé que chaque bête pesait tout de même son petit poids. Donc je pense que je vais venir avec une boite par groupe et j'enverrais la seconde par la poste... A voir.
En revanche, je viens de vérifier le formulaire et... tu n'as pas fait de demande !!! c'est par là. J'en ai encore donc c'est pas forcément un problème, mais si tu ne demandes pas, tu n'auras rien ;) Anthere (talk) 17:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Done (i just have filling the form of wikipack ) thaaanks :) --Mohammed Bachounda (talk) 20:57, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

ok ! Je le signalerais demain à Isla pour qu'elle fasse le follow-up. @User:Bachounda

Re:

Hi Anthere, sorry but you message, along with many others, got buried under a pile of messages/notifications. Crosswiki notifications overwhelmed my ability to dispatch them! As a general principle I block colocation facilities with low probability to be exitpoints of legit users plus hosting spammers/open proxies. This might bring to side effects which could be mitigated in various ways: softening the block, assigning GIPBE to users or whitelisting ranges locally. Having one of these ranges unblocked on a major wiki is not a big issue since they can self manage possible side effects.--Vituzzu (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Some old presentations

Hi Florence, quick thing regarding some old powerpoint presentations of yours. Right now, I've got 3 old powerpoint presentations that are being hosted via the Foundation website ([1] [2] [3]). They aren't a problem, per se, but I'm trying to clean up our various domain document roots and standardize them (so one-off files like these are trying to be removed). I'm wanting to delete them, but wanted to check with you first. I can wait a bit too, to give you a chance to save them (could maybe convert to PDF and upload to Commons for the historical value?). Thanks! ^demon (talk) 18:38, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

ok user:^demon. I downloaded them and reuploaded the Wikimania presentation on Commons [4] for archive. Thanks. Anthere (talk) 15:39, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Bonjour, tu va bien ;)

pour les articles j'ai lancé un appel a traduction .--Mohammed Bachounda (talk) 14:04, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

• Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016)
  • Introduction to process and information about budget spending resolution to support it
• Update 2 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (23 December 2016)
  • Start of search for Lead Architect for movement strategy process
• Update 3 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (8 January 2017)
  • Plans for strategy sessions at upcoming Wikimedia Conference 2017
• Update 4 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (11 January 2017)
  • Introduction of williamsworks
• Update 5 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (2 February 2017)
  • The core movement strategy team, team tracks being developed, introduction of the Community Process Steering Committee, discussions at WikiIndaba conference 2017 and the Wikimedia movement affiliates executive directors gathering in Switzerland
• Update 6 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (10 February 2017)
  • Tracks A & B process prototypes and providing feedback, updates on development of all four Tracks

More information about the movement strategy is available on the Meta-Wiki 2017 Wikimedia movement strategy portal.

Africa and the strategy process

Hi! You've expressed your interest in taking a role of a Discussion Coordinator for WikiAfrica, both track A and B. I'm a Meta Coordinator and my task is to carry invitations out to all on-wiki communities. I have a question: which communities (languages) collaborate under the "umbrella" of WikiAfrica, besides French and Arabic? Are there any active wikis (in African languages) that aren't affected? SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 15:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Our (Meta Coordinators') task is to ensure that all track B stakeholders are notified, which means unaffiliated users of not-the-biggest wikis, not skilled in the languages covered by the Language Specialist Coordinators. I need to contact directly to the most active of them. I asked you, because you are active in the Africa-related Wikimedian topics. For example, I'm looking for someone who knows someone active from Swahili or Afrikaans or Amharic projects. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

No, I (or we) don't. Practically, every coordinator uses her/his own words. For example, look what Samuel wrote on the French Bistro: the first and the second announcement. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 18:21, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot to mention that we use this link instead of - in the case of my French example - that one. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 18:27, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

• Find out more about the movement strategy process
• Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

Inspire Campaign survey on outreach to outside knowledge networks

Thanks for your participation during the Inspire Campaign focused on outreach to outside knowledge networks from February 2017. I'm interested in hearing your experience during the campaign, so if you're able, I invite you to complete this brief survey to describe how you contributed to the campaign and how you felt about participating. I want to improve how campaigns are run, so let me know if there's something that could be done better for next time.

Please feel free to let me know on my talk page if you have any questions about the campaign or the survey. Thanks! I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 18:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

about wiki loves africa problem (photo 28)

Hi anthere! i'm Taher the guy who has most votes (photo 28) on wiki loves africa. first of all i really appreciate that you accepted my photo as one of the bests in the contest!

Second, My friend said that he only created those accounts to vote for me, he thought it would help me so he did it without informing me, plus he didn't know it was against WLA rules, so i don't think i can be responsible for this because anybody could've done it without informing me, note that when he informed me about this i just deleted the votes he added with those fake accounts. and here's his contact so he can admit you personally that he is the one that created them and it's not me that i created them. full name : Pedro Pinto facebook : https://www.facebook.com/pedro.pinto.9828 and number : +351 927764114

third, i just shared the link of contest to a couple of friends informing them about it and i said to some of them ' if u like my photo, i'd appreciate if you vote for it ' so i'm not forcing them, just suggesting for some friends ( like 6 friends or something ) - I saw many of people in contest doing this publicly in facebook and porbably all of them did it privately (so i'm not the only one and it seemed okay for everybody).

Why are you blaming me only for this? it's obvious that almost everyone in this contest shared link with their friends to vote for them.

and i only did this because it's logically acceptable (i'm not forcing them to vote for me) and because it's not against the contest's rules to inform your friends about the contest.

I hope you understand well that i warned my friend not to create any fake profiles again to vote for me, and i stopped informing my friends about the contest.

thank you for your time.

Join the next cycle of Wikimedia movement strategy discussions (underway until June 12)

Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.

You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.

Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:

• Healthy, Inclusive Communities
• The Augmented Age
• A Truly Global Movement
• The Most Respected Source of Knowledge
• Engaging in the Knowledge Ecosystem

On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

Post-Wikimania hackathon

Bonjour! You may remember me from the English Wikipedia offline releases, and we were also stuck at Gdansk airport together after Wikimania 2010. I see you have been working with Wikifundi recently, so you may be interested in an "offline hackathon" we're planning for August 13-18, right after Wikimania. It's being held just across the border in Potsdam, New York, at the college where I teach. We have Emmanuel Engelhart and the Kiwix team coming, as well as many implementation people from Internet-in-a-box, KA Lite, WikiMed, etc., so it will be a combination of coding, coordinating and planning. There are rooms available in student housing, for US$25 per person per night (shared) or US$40 (unshared), though rooms have to be reserved soon. We can also arrange transport from/to Montreal if we get to know by the end of the month. If you'd like to attend, please let me know! Cordialement, Walkerma (talk) 06:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi user:Walkerma. Sure, I do remember you. Well, that would be awesome indeed to take that opportunity. I must check family-wise if that's possible to extend my leave and I must check with WMF with regards to Wikimania travel. Let me collect info. What is the latest deadline you need to respect to confirm room reservation ? Thanks !!! Anthere (talk)

That's excellent! The "hard" deadline for dorm rooms (from the college) is June 30th, but we're asking people to let us know by mid-June if possible, as I will be processing all the dorm rooms, and they may fill up. We can also make other arrangements if the dorms do fill up; there's a hotel about 1 km away, for example. Let me know if you can make it. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 14:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
