With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources 15:57, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.
Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

[edit]Hello, Rohini! Since you've been closely involved with the Indian community for a long time, we're inviting you to a discussion on "target countries".

Sigh
[edit]Wow! That was a damn good reply:--
- Are you actually saying that you are opposing this application not on its merits or lack thereof, but for you not receiving a reply to your extremely loaded and presumptuous query
- Accountability is an integral part of the Wikimedia Culture.I guess this's not some new news to you.
- Extremely loaded and presumptuous query--Do not use civility and/or FSP to deflect criticism/questions you do not prefer to hear. I've been witness to some illustrious editing careers of a bevy of WMF-blessed editors, (who have sang the same tune of greater diversity etc.) at en.wiki.More often than not, their (mis)-adventures has culminated in some of the most gargantuan messes, that has consumed an equally expansive amount of time to clean up.Ironically, those coordinators are typically never-ever seen during these times.
- That question which was appended to a comment which was marked as a violation of the friendly space policy
- Though my question referenced Sitush's comments in passing, it did not derive from it and was a stand-alone query. Sitush's t/p thread had the links of the various community-discussions about the DLM issue and it was obviously prudential to just link the t/p thread than link all the discussions separately.
- That question which was posted after the community review period was over, when I was no longer actively watching the space for questions and comments?
- You've got the 1st part entirely right.
- I was no longer actively watching
the space for questions and commentsanything that was not honey-coated talk--That would be a more appropriate phrasing.The notification system would have surely informed you about this message at your talk-page which would have let you to somewhere.
- The only inference you draw from my not engaging with your question is that I must want to evade it.
- Eh! How mean I am! I definitely failed to note that the issue of my query was so fucking complex, that you were expending months on answering it.My sincere apologies, for the mis-understanding.
- piggy-back on prejudiced and hostile comments.
- I truly wonder about how I, so prejudiced, managed to weakly support it.
Cheers!Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 08:56, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- I agree that accountability is indispensable. I fail to see why the page where you posted your opposing comments is a place for me to be held accountable for the project or its grant. Please move your question from the endorsements section of the grant application to the discussion page and we will talk about it there.
- You suggest here that WP: Civil and Friendly Space Policy can be disregarded.
- I disagree. Criticism can be delivered while being civil. Questions can be asked while being respectful, to inform and be informed. Questions that are peremptory and loaded in their nature begin the conversation on the wrong foot. Things may seem quite boring for some people this way, but slings and arrows are the reason why the Wikimedia community is not balanced in terms of representing knowledge from various quarters. :)
- If you would like to challenge the Friendly Space Policy, there are avenues to do so. My Talk page or the pages pertaining to the community toolkit project are not the right place for it.
- I still hold that your question was loaded and presumptuous and came from a lack of understanding of the project and how it would be executed. I urge you again to move your question to the discussion page and I shall explain what is wrong with the very framing of the question.
- "But as Sitush said, how do you guarantee..." This phrasing suggests your comment was in the same vein as Sitush's intervention posted in the same section of the page. That intervention had already been marked as a violation of the Friendly Space Policy. IMO, referring to it is not a prudent thing to do if you intend to ask constructive questions in good faith and expect to receive replies that are likewise. In my opinion, nothing was wrong in posting the links you posted. Those links gave us context.
- With reference to your assessment that I evade all talk that is not "honey-coated", please take a look at all the vitriol in the endorsements section and the discussion page of our application. Please also take a look at the replies posted by me and my team.
- How I wish that conversations on Wikimedia talk pages involved questions that are indeed f**king complex and not loaded, rhetorical, presumptuous, uncivil or peremptory! (Also, a girl has to earn her bread, edit Wikipedia, complete her schoolwork, fight off online abuse and run her household, occasionally saving the world while she is at it. #JustSaying.)
- "Piggy-back on" Sitush's "prejudiced and hostile comments". My apologies for the misunderstanding. Thank you very much for your weak support of our project.
With regards, Rohini (talk) 11:05, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply.For the time, I will expect that you will do your background-research better, rather than casting random aspersions on weak pretexts of civility et al.If you think I'm against FSP, this comment on a very-related issue will probably be an indicator of my boundaries of civility and friendly space.As much as I disagree with grossly offensive/obscene/loaded remarks, I have an equal contempt for those who use these policies to avoid any spotlight on their actions.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 11:30, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- Anyways, on some retrospection, I will apologize if any of my comments/replies offended you.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 11:35, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- See my comments at the proposal t/p.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 12:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
@Winged Blades of Godric: I appreciate your apology. I am travelling and will take a few days to respond to your post on the project's discussion page. -- Rohini (talk) 17:22, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Coming back
[edit]The contents have been transferred to this thread after the following reply has been already made.
@Winged Blades of Godric: While I appreciate your continued interest in and enthusiasm about this project, my personal Talk Page is not the right avenue to seek responses to your queries below. There is more to me than this project and there is more to the project than me. Please move your queries to the Talk Page of the grant application. Note that I have made the same request to you on one previous occasion with reference to a different set of comments. Additionally, @Chinmayisk: and I do not find it acceptable that you sent unsolicited emails about this set of queries to our my professional email addresses, regardless of your intent behind sending it those emails. I am a volunteer Wikimedian (like you are) and I do not appreciate it when communication/ correspondence from my personal, professional and volunteer lives crosses streams like this. Just because my email address is listed online (but off-Wiki), it does not become acceptable to contact me at unrelated avenues. Please stick to established modes and practices of communication that are considered acceptable for Wikimedians. -- Rohini (talk) 08:38, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- What? Your grant page clearly mentions chinmayi@thebachchaoproject.org as a contact-method unless I am seeing a different panel on the right side, than you.
- @Winged Blades of Godric: That email address is Chinmayi's. I just struck out her name from my response. Where is my email address listed in the grants proposal? -- Rohini (talk) 09:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- No where listed, except for a simple Gsearch about a co-grantee who has already outed herself. Obviously, I was foolish enough to not use the one from here (missed that). Would that have satisfied you? Given that CIAS is liaising in some form with the project (the grant-mentor has some official designation in it) and the site seems to have the same workskhop page, as one of it's internal files and even feature your profile, I don't find much of any fault in using your email, as listed over there.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 09:14, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- To put things in perspective, you may already know that the Wikimedia movement lays great emphasis on the privacy of the users and contributors of Wikimedia projects. You might want to take a look at the "principle of purpose-limitation" with reference to privacy. (I did a quick search and found this link, which may be useful, although here the principle is defined in conjunction with the a specific law: [1])
- Can we just AGF, please? You might also wish to see this, a WMF-mandated policy. Also, how on Earth is this any relevant, (which's almost solely concerned with how WMF collects, stores and manages user-data?)
- If it is of any help to you, I'm personally identified to the foundation and am a signatory of this policy. I have access to OTRS as well as en:WP:ACC; the latter of which includes being able to access the IP addresses et al of users and other private data.
- If you believe that I may not be best-suited for the roles (and/or have violated any clause of the policy); WMF and/or Ombudsman Commission is you way-out.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 09:52, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

- You might wish to strike out you sent unsolicited emails about this set of queries to our professional email addresses and the implicit assumption of bad-faith. And, do not try to preach someone (with edits of an order of magnitude greater than you), about acceptable forms of contact.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 08:46, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Edit-count shaming much, when established rules are pointed out? -- Rohini (talk) 09:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's not about edit-count; it's rather about quality. And, established rules of not leaving a token single-line message-notification about people, (whose email address is mentioned in bold-face as a contact-medium) and of assuming bad faith? Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 09:14, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- Edit-count shaming much, when established rules are pointed out? -- Rohini (talk) 09:02, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- If you do not wish for a cross-over, don't mention (esp. under contact). As simple as that. Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 08:48, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- And, I did not remember about your's asking to use the grants-t/p, in part. Over en; we utilize the project-t/p as well as the t/p of the involved people in case of queries and without much of any sagas. At any case, apologies for the error and I have done a cut-paste.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 09:14, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Winged Blades of Godric, I ask that you respect Rohini's request to limit your communication about this project to the talkpage of the grant proposal going forward. The reasons provided for the request are clear, reasonable and merit an assumption of good faith. Rohini's preferred channels of contact are clearly indicated here and through the contact information provided on the project page itself. Please use them, rather than information discoverable via a google search.

And, on entirely different notes
[edit]I came across this, which's interesting.
Now, whilst I remember this research and/or this NYT piece quite distinctly as to the locus of gender biased air-conditioning, can you kindly lead me to the background stuff behind your assertion about photographic plates?
I have not come across that, previously and I failed to find anything relevant over a GSearch.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 07:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- Also, this is quite a nice read and covers many of the nuances. But AFAIK, from our statistical-studies during ACTRIAL, (excluding heavily outlying editathons like DHM) editathon-contributors get far less sanctioned than an average user and content retention rates is far higher. Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 10:31, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Olive Branch
[edit]Can we just get off the above drama and move on?
As much as I am certain of your efforts to better the Wikipedia-projects from varied perspectives (in the very above section, I praised 2 of your write-ups:-)) and agree on the broader motives of greater representation of unrepresented populace, we do disagree on the specifics of the grant. It's scope, cost-to-assumed-benefit-ratio, progress and all that. We also disagree about whether emailing you was ill-executed or not and I have already apologized, if you felt the emails to be unsolicited but we surely disagree about the best-practices.
I think this disagreement will continue and I am perfectly fine with it; disagreements should be embraced, as I have always been critical on conformity. We agree on some stuff and disagree over others. Sometimes my comment may prove to be ill-informed or even worse, plainly stupid and backfire at me, as might be with your's. And that's okay. Sometimes the broader editorial base might agree with me as sometimes they may with you.
But, at the end of the day, I believe that the answers to the questions over the grant t/p are far more important than these locus. So let's move on to there:-)
I do hope that you take this message in it's intended spirit of friendly collaboration. And, here's hoping to work with you as to some wiki-activity, even if writing an article (or as such anything), over this year.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 10:15, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
- @Winged Blades of Godric: I appreciate your apology and thank you for the peace offering. I am also happy that you agree with most of my views in my article on edit-a-thons and in the manual for creating tech for diversity and inclusion. However, some of your assertions, inferences and extrapolations about me or the CTGD project are incorrect, possibly because they have been formulated from information gleaned off sources outside Wikimedia projects and channels. In this scenario, replying to your questions piecemeal would not be efficient, more so because some of your questions are about the length and breadth of the project itself. I also believe that most of your questions will get answered via our updated reportage of the project and the learning modules. However, at this point in time I'm not equipped to publish all these materials by myself. I will ping you back in about a week's time. - - Rohini (talk) 22:37, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply:-) I look forward to the answers of as many questions, as possible as well as to the updated reportage and modules. A week's time is good enough. On another note, feel free to point out the part. assertions of kine in tge Q-A set, that seems to be wrong so that I can update my understanding and withdraw those. Also, I believe that in the latest set of Q-A, I have been careful enough to avoid drawing any inference or extrapolate any stuff and would be happy to be pointed out.

Invitation to participate in Universal Code of Conduct survey - WikiWomen's User Group
[edit](You are receiving this message as you signed your interest to participate as part of the WikiWomen's User Group)
Hello, my name is Mervat Salman, a UCoC Facilitator, Trust and Safety team.
As you know, the WMF Board of Trustees ratified the Universal Code of Conduct early in February. That's the beginning; the policy itself cannot be used if the enforcement pathways are not defined. The implementation and enforcement of the UCoC requires the continuous cooperation to define clear definitions of enforcement pathways and processes. This needs to be done in a way that does not contradict with the internal bylaws and codes of conduct currently in place, but rather to support them and complement their deficiencies, if any.
In this phase of the process, we would like to invite you to share your ideas, thoughts and concerns about the UCoC implementation, reporting and enforcement pathways using this survey:
Notice: This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/UCoC_Affiliates_Survey_Privacy_Statement>.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org.
Best regards,
Mervat (WMF) 17:01, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Invitation to submit session to #RightsCon 2022
[edit]Hi Rohini I hope you're well. I'm on the newly formed Global Advocacy team and am reaching out with an opportunity given your research and work around Human Rights in India.
The global advocacy team is submitting a handful of session proposals for RightsCon 2022, the world's leading summit on human rights in the digital age. It brings together academics, experts, rights activists, and all kinds of wonderful internet humans to problem-solve, share ideas, and launch new projects. I believe your experience would make for an excellent session - either as a talk or community workshop.
If you're interested, it would be great to have you submit a proposal idea via this form (deadline Jan 10): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmd5mhxEpFpXiAVIM-_31QJM5UEKDHWovfLvgq2wOIQQiudA/viewform?usp=sf_link
Looking forward to hearing from you. Feel free to email with questions (fputz@wikimedia.org) -- FPutz (WMF) (talk) 09:18, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- @FPutz (WMF): Thank you for your message. I do not have a RightsCon proposal pertaining to the Wikimedia or Openness movement at hand, though I have previously conducted sessions at Rightscon on that topic. If the WMF is organising a session, I would be happy to collaborate or speak. Thanks. -- Rohini (talk) 10:09, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Great! We're compiling ideas this week - I will reach back out if there is a specific one that I think would be of interest for you. Until then -- FPutz (WMF) (talk) 11:55, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
