Leave messages here[edit]

Hey, if your message is for me in my work capacity, how about leaving it over here? --Philippe (talk) 18:57, 8 January 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Hi Philippe,

I added an easy edit link to Template:Advocacy as I imagine more links will be added to it. Is there a particular category that the pages can suitably go in too?

The Helpful One 02:00, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have one, but it sure seems to make sense. Maybe [[Category:Advocacy]]? --Philippe 02:26, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yep sure, per KISS. Also, for future, to link to a Category without putting the page in the Category, put a colon before Category, so Category:Advocacy - see this page's source for the example. :) The Helpful One 02:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know, but I was just itching to use nowiki. :P --Philippe 02:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have no doubt about that - I get the urge to use it from time to time too ;) The Helpful One 02:36, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On reactions[edit]

I would like to say, in my capacity as a human being, that I think you had a good comment here. Reminds me of a saying that goes something like "Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you react to it." Killiondude (talk) 01:51, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Killiondude. That means a lot. --Philippe (talk) 06:17, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RfA[edit]

Every single word you´ve wrote, has explained how I felt in the situation. But, instead to turn away, I´ve overreacted. The point is no longer if the block was in place, but that I was involved and didn´t saw it that way. But as someone wrote above in the RfA, there are much policies missing on meta which could help in such cases. Thanks for your words and sorry that I disappointed you and the community. --WizardOfOz talk 19:56, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of review of adminship[edit]

Hello,

In accordance with Meta:Administrators/Removal and because you have made fewer than ten logged actions over the past six months, your adminship is under review at Meta:Administrators/Removal/April 2012. If you would like to retain your adminship, please sign there before April 08, 2012. Kind regards, —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 12:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Email[edit]

I emailed you and I think it is rather important/urgent. Ottava Rima (talk) 19:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reply[edit]

I replied to your question --Guerillero 23:12, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SE2014[edit]

Please note that you are not eligible to vote in this year's steward elections. Vogone talk 10:58, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ha. I'm amused. --Philippe (talk) 11:04, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like you are poked to raise your activity levels :P Matanya (talk) 11:07, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have disputed this ruling. The eligibility rules clearly talk about a person, not a globally unified account, the person meets the eligibility criteria, and in this situation it is evident that it is the same person.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, billinghurst. I wasn't gonna raise a fuss, but it does seem a little... rules-monger-y. (No offense to Vogone, who is absolutely doing the right thing in notifying me and following the rules.) --Philippe (talk) 15:25, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Philippe, with this account you don't fulfill the requirement of having made 50 edits between August 2013 and Jan 2014, however you do with the account User:Philippe (WMF) and the election committee has just determined that it's no problem to count both accounts together since they both clearly belong to the same person. (Alternatively you can also vote with that account directly of course, though please not on the same candidatures ;) ) --MF-W 23:22, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@MF-Warburg: User:Secretalt and User:Secret are the same, but the former did not have enough votes and was thus disqualified; could the same be applied here too? --Rschen7754 00:56, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For confirmation, see [1]. --Rschen7754 01:03, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, I'm already looking into that. --MF-W 11:21, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

For everything. And together with Maggie & probably many more I will miss you. But good to see you won't leave us. :-) Take care. Trijnsteltalk 13:27, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnum(_AT_)wikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Harassment workshop[edit]

Greetings! You are receiving this message because, at some point in the past, you have participated in a discussion around the topic of harassment. The Support and Safety team is holding a series of consultations gathering feedback on the best potential solutions to the problem. The next stage is a workshop where we hope to narrow the focus to individual actionable ideas and explore how to bring some of these ideas to life.

Billinghurst "Order of the Bench"™[edit]

Benches: Perfect to sit and reflect upon a job well done
While life's path is full of doggy-do, it is the park benches that we get to appreciate what surrounds us. From your time in the park of Wikimedia, you leave this place being a manufacturer of park benches of quality and sustainability. When you walk out of the of park you can look back and see those benches, populated and enjoyed! That is a legacy.

You will always be welcome to come and sit on my bench.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:32, 20 February 2016 (UTC) (awarded to departing staff and volunteers who have made this a better place)[reply]

Thanks, Billinghurst, you made my day.  :) --Philippe (talk) 00:07, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Training Modules design conversation[edit]

Hello! We are leaving you this message because you have previously indicated that you interested in helping the Wikimedia Foundation Support & Safety team in developing our training modules this year.

We appreciate all the help and thoughts users like you have offered thus far. We would like to encourage you, if you are interested, to participate in the next step of our development: a community consultation about the design and structure of the modules. Note that we're not yet gathering feedback on the content of the modules - a separate consultation about that will be starting soon.

In this "design" consultation, we're looking for advice on things like the best place to host these modules, the accessibility of content, and other potential design decisions. Please feel free to leave any thoughts you have about these things on the talk page. Thanks! Kbrown (WMF) (talk) 18:02, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Bot inactivity notice[edit]

Hello Philippe,

The Meta-Wiki community has approved a new bot inactivity policy which states that bots that are inactive for a continued period of 14 months should be subject to review.

Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:40, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Queering Wikipedia 2023 conference[edit]

Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group and the organizing team of Queering Wikipedia is delivering the Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference for LGBT+ Wikimedians and allies, as a hybrid, bilingual and trans-local event. It is online on 12, 14 and 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, with offline events at around 10 locations on 5 continents in the 5-day span as QW2023 Nodes.

The online program is delivered as a series of keynotes, panels, presentations, workshops, lightning talks and creative interventions, starting on Friday noon (UTC) with the first keynote of Dr Nishant Shah entitled: I spy, with my little AI — Wikiway as a means to disrupt the ‘dirty queer’ impulses of emergent AI platforms. Second keynote is at Sunday’s closure by Esra’a Al Shafei, Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees vice chair, entitled: Digital Public Spaces for Queer Communities.

If you have been an active Wikimedian or enthusiast, supporting LGBT+ activities or if you identify as part of the larger LGBT+ community and allies in Wikimedia, please join us in advancing this thematic work. We encourage you to join online or in person with fellow Wikimedians if it is easy and safe to do so. Our working languages are English and Spanish, with possible local language support at sites of Nodes.

Registration for the online event is free and is open until Wednesday May 10th at 18:00 UTC, for safety protocol. Late event registration approval and event access denial is at the discretion of organizers.
