Kas yra problema? PiRSquared17 (talk) 20:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Seemed offensive to me. Maybe I don't understand english as much. Than I apologize. (Kame yra... I'm Czech, not Lithuanian)... --Kusurija (talk) 23:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Pardon. PiRSquared17 (talk) 23:23, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- It's OK ;-) --Kusurija (talk) 23:42, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Follow-up to SRGP
[edit]Hi Kusurija, I'm not familiar with the czech language projects, but there should be some conflict-resolving or arbitration instruments. A user who appropriately resorts to these tools shouldn't face any threats or perils. Otherwise, we'd have to face a much bigger problem than a rogue sysop. --MBq (talk) 17:20, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Re:MBq: Bingo! That is the very problem, we czechs are talking about. User Auvajs only asked, why there (on cs.wikisource) are not such conflict-resolving or arbitration instruments. (Among them are the rules about voting/establishing about/of sysops). Nothing more, only simple question. After it was banned indef. Was it OK? I personally think not. I'm not interested in being banned indef for askinng the same question. Nor any other user. What does it mean? --Kusurija (talk) 17:46, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- I tried to read into that problem. Apparently some arbitrations have taken place years ago, but since I don't speak your language, I didn't really understand their conflict not to mention their results. Probably it boiled down to a minority issue - the majority of the czech-speaking community did not support the claims against -jkb-? If that's the case you'd have to deal with it, afraid so. Stewards and other global brass normally refrain from intervening in projects which have sufficient local processes and elected officials. --MBq (talk) 18:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- OK:ad "the majority of the czech-speaking community did not support the claims against -jkb-?" - not true. Ad: "...which have sufficient local processes and elected officials...": have not sufficient + was not elected. They simply are officials, but they are not elected. There are no clear election rules. User Auvajs only put question about existence of these (nonexisting yet) rules and immediately was blocked with untrue explanation. There maybe exists some "confidential" spoken - but not written rules. It's pity, You don't understand czech language. So I naturally understand Yours questions. Excuse me, if something explained not so clear, as my english is not as splendid. Sorry. --Kusurija (talk) 19:39, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

The Community Wishlist Survey
[edit]Hi,
You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.
You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year. We encourage everyone to submit proposals until the deadline on 30 November, or comment on other proposals to help make them better. The communities will vote on the proposals between 8 December and 21 December.
The Community Tech team is focused on tools for experienced Wikimedia editors. You can write proposals in any language, and we will translate them for you. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing your proposals!
18:26, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey. You can vote from now until 21 December for as many different wishes as you want.
In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes. We will start with the most popular ones.
We, the Community Tech, are one of the Wikimedia Foundation teams. We create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.
We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!
