Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process[edit]
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)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)[edit]
- 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 teams05:02, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

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.

Your revert[edit]
Expect only criticism from now on. Tony (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Tony1, I'm sorry you feel so annoyed and angry about this revert, and sad that you think it stems from ignorance. I recognize the value of your edits and thank you for proposing them. There are processes I am here to have respected as part of my job. A lot of donors' money is tied to these recommendations and we do not allow organizations to alter their proposals without asking first on the talk page. I hope you will reconsider the idea of only criticism, unless it is constructive criticism. Best. Delphine (WMF) (talk) 21:29, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm very annoyed—affronted—that a simple good-faith effort by a community volunteer is spurned. But worse, that the FDC and the staff have ownership problems and a bog-headed attitude to the quality of their sloppily written text.
I am clearly not an applicant organisation; the reasoning you offer is absurd; it vindicates in principle my slightly overstated accusation of "bureacratic garbage".
If you're going to be so precious about your sloppy text, as I pointed out on the talkpage: why don't you put an edit note at the top (or lock the damn thing)?
I don't know what you classify as "constructive" criticism, since criticism can sometimes disadvantage certain parties for the good of the whole. But in my view the FDC and its supporting staff are ripe for criticism five years down the track. Tony (talk) 04:44, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- And although I'm still annoyed, I want you to know that it's not personal. Tony (talk) 08:54, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hello Tony1, I understand it's not personal and I thank you for making it clear nonetheless. I will be working on incorporating the necessary warnings in future recommendation pages and invite suggestions on the talk page. Best. Delphine (WMF) (talk) 09:18, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Your revert[edit]
would not have been necessary if you didnt use this. Artix Kreiger (talk) 17:57, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hello Artix Kreiger. This what? The IP address? I am not sure if that is what you meant. But in any case, I wasn't this IP. I've been editing logged for 12 years I think. The IP was someone from Wikimedia CH who has been doing good edits under this very same IP throughout the document. I am not sure I understand why you reverted this person on the basis that it was an IP, if that is indeed what you did. Their edits throughout this document had only been good, so I am not sure what compelled you to revert. :(. They had been working hard on this and had to reach out to me to understand what had happened. Hence my revert. Cheers. Delphine (WMF) (talk) 18:41, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- I want to apologize because I was in a bad mood. I did not know if the information was true so I reverted. Artix Kreiger (talk) 18:49, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Apologies accepted Artix Kreiger! And thank you for your work here. Better revert once too many than once too few ;-). Delphine (WMF) (talk) 19:16, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- please extend my apologies to the rest of the team as well. Thanks. Artix Kreiger (talk) 19:32, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Artix Kreiger will do. As we say in French, "plus de peur que de mal" (more fear than harm done). I see you're new here, welcome to meta! If you have any questions, go ahead and ask! Delphine (WMF) (talk) 19:50, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

About me[edit]
For the most part, I have been an very active editor on Wikia, editing various wikis. I got bored of the childish nature and lack of involvement by people. My interests and fandom were very specific. After a while, I just wanted to learn some "real world" stuff instead of the fictional world. So I moved over here to WMF projects. By the way, I split it up so that section can be removed.Artix Kreiger (talk) 20:01, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Is the WMF internally aware of its spending by region? Where is a published report? I will take what you have. I am hoping for a balance sheet starting with annual spending, the US$100 million, and breaking it down in a way like North America, South America, Europe, Africa, etc. If there are regions, I would really like to see spending in South Asia, Middle East, East Asia, and the former Soviet Union.
