| subtitle-210-10050-1 | "So this brings us to the very last topic for today, which is, I" |
|---|
| subtitle-10050-16950-2 | "mentioned that you may find yourself needing to do an in-meeting wiki tutorial." |
|---|
| subtitle-17980-22000-3 | "And this is difficult, and you need to be prepared for it, because at some point in the" |
|---|
| subtitle-22000-26650-4 | "meeting someone might ask a question, and it's bugging them and it's distracting them." |
|---|
| subtitle-26650-31360-5 | "So if you don't answer that question, you've lost this person; they're too focused now on" |
|---|
| subtitle-31360-37240-6 | "this question. So you need to have the ability to answer these questions as briefly" |
|---|
| subtitle-37240-41950-7 | "as possible, to get back to your pitch, to get back to the partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-43060-49930-8 | "So if people ask about some wiki term or someone says, "Okay, okay, but how is" |
|---|
| subtitle-49930-54070-9 | "Wikipedia reliable?" And let's say this is the executive director or the president of" |
|---|
| subtitle-54070-55150-10 | "the organization." |
|---|
| subtitle-55150-56620-11 | "You can't just ignore this question." |
|---|
| subtitle-56620-58870-12 | "You can't just say, "you know, that's for some other time." |
|---|
| subtitle-58870-61540-13 | "Let's talk about the partnership." You have to somehow respond." |
|---|
| subtitle-61540-68140-14 | "So again, you have to have a ready, single paragraph, maybe two paragraph response" |
|---|
| subtitle-68140-73930-15 | "overall about how reliability is achieved on Wikipedia, and when it is not." |
|---|
| subtitle-75180-76200-16 | "And then move on." |
|---|
| subtitle-76200-78780-17 | "But you have to have that quick version." |
|---|
| subtitle-78990-81370-18 | "So we explain how we work." |
|---|
| subtitle-81390-83550-19 | "We explain what is possible, and what isn't possible." |
|---|
| subtitle-84030-89220-20 | "For example, we may have to explain to them why they cannot have ownership of an article" |
|---|
| subtitle-89220-92580-21 | "that's about them, or about their people or their objects." |
|---|
| subtitle-92580-95700-22 | "Why? We need to have quick examples of that." |
|---|
| subtitle-95700-99660-23 | "On the other hand, don't be tempted to turn it into a wiki workshop!" |
|---|
| subtitle-99660-101020-24 | "Don't start telling them "see?" |
|---|
| subtitle-101020-104310-25 | "This is how you upload a file, and this is how you make bold and..." |
|---|
| subtitle-104880-110160-26 | "Absolutely not! And don't go into obscure things, like the checkuser process, or" |
|---|
| subtitle-110400-112790-27 | "arbitration... don't go into that." |
|---|
| subtitle-112800-115560-28 | "It is overwhelming, and it will confuse your partner." |
|---|
| subtitle-116820-121830-29 | "What you should talk about is values and general principles, like transparency, public" |
|---|
| subtitle-121830-126830-30 | "discourse, notability, but generally, don't show them the notability policy page!" |
|---|
| subtitle-126830-128910-31 | "That's long and confusing and overwhelming." |
|---|
| subtitle-128910-134160-32 | "Just explain the general idea of why we need any notability policy at all, and how we" |
|---|
| subtitle-134160-136590-33 | "discuss it and determine it, briefly." |
|---|
| subtitle-138540-143730-34 | "This in-meeting wiki tutorial may also require you specifically to touch on things" |
|---|
| subtitle-143730-148200-35 | "like conflict-of-interest editing, because they may say, "well, we want an article about" |
|---|
| subtitle-148200-152370-36 | "us, and about our manager, and about our doctors and our professors." So you need to" |
|---|
| subtitle-152550-156990-37 | "touch on that. Don't just send them a link to the policy page, which is long and" |
|---|
| subtitle-156990-159060-38 | "confusing, and in wiki jargon." |
|---|
| subtitle-159060-161520-39 | "Just explain in a single paragraph or two." |
|---|
| subtitle-162030-165150-40 | ""Yes, content about notable people can happen." |
|---|
| subtitle-165540-168480-41 | "We can write about people from your institution assuming that they're notable." |
|---|
| subtitle-168480-173670-42 | "But bear in mind, we need to stay clear of conflict-of-interest editing, and we're happy" |
|---|
| subtitle-173670-178470-43 | "to talk more about that in detail, in a separate meeting." Again, remember to always" |
|---|
| subtitle-178470-183720-44 | "leave these doors open, and explain that you have a lot more to say about this, later," |
|---|
| subtitle-183720-187350-45 | "separately. But don't just say "let's talk about it later."" |
|---|
| subtitle-187350-192420-46 | "Say something. Say that one or two paragraphs, then say "we can expand on that" |
|---|
| subtitle-192420-196830-47 | "separately". Be sure to explain that you are not Wikipedia." |
|---|
| subtitle-196830-202500-48 | "This is important. People feel "okay, we are talking with the Wikipedia people!", and any" |
|---|
| subtitle-202500-207150-49 | "and all complaints we've ever had about Wikipedia, this is the time to look into" |
|---|
| subtitle-207150-210930-50 | "them. And by the way, some people will literally be a little unprofessional and try" |
|---|
| subtitle-210930-216690-51 | "to take over the meeting to answer their private pet peeve about Wikipedia, forgetting" |
|---|
| subtitle-216690-218520-52 | "that this is supposed to be about some partnership." |
|---|
| subtitle-219120-223440-53 | "So you need to politely help them stick to the point, but politely." |
|---|
| subtitle-223560-227220-54 | "You also need to make sure that they understand you are not Wikipedia." |
|---|
| subtitle-227220-229320-55 | "You are not in charge of Wikipedia." |
|---|
| subtitle-229320-232920-56 | "You're not even in charge of Wikipedia in your language or your country." |
|---|
| subtitle-233250-234630-57 | "You're one of several volunteers." |
|---|
| subtitle-234630-238890-58 | "You're a board member, maybe, of a chapter." |
|---|
| subtitle-238890-241050-59 | "Still, you're not in charge of Wikipedia." |
|---|
| subtitle-241500-244230-60 | "You need to explain that it's a movement, that it's a community." |
|---|
| subtitle-244230-246540-61 | "That decisions are made by the community, etc., etc.." |
|---|
| subtitle-246540-252870-62 | "And you don't control the community, because if you don't say that, they will assume that" |
|---|
| subtitle-252870-254850-63 | "you do. They will assume that." |
|---|
| subtitle-255150-259800-64 | "Because whenever some representative of some other organization comes and talks to them," |
|---|
| subtitle-260220-264420-65 | "you assume that they are somehow in control of what happens in their organization." |
|---|
| subtitle-264660-266430-66 | "It's a natural assumption to make." |
|---|
| subtitle-266850-271200-67 | "So we must make sure that we do not give them the impression that everything that" |
|---|
| subtitle-271200-274890-68 | "happens or doesn't happen on Wikipedia is under our control." |
|---|
| subtitle-274890-277410-69 | "That's a very damaging assumption for them to have." |
|---|
| subtitle-279160-283870-70 | "So that's an important thing to cover if you find yourself having to go into the" |
|---|
| subtitle-284350-288670-71 | "in-meeting wiki tutorial, and finally make sure they understand timing!" |
|---|
| subtitle-289060-294390-72 | "If you say "yes, we will do a contest, a content competition, about 1000 objects"," |
|---|
| subtitle-294390-297040-73 | "they shouldn't expect 1000 articles tomorrow." |
|---|
| subtitle-297520-300760-74 | "They should understand that this will take two months, three months, four months, six" |
|---|
| subtitle-300760-305710-75 | "months. And at the end of those six months, there will maybe be 700 articles and the" |
|---|
| subtitle-305710-307430-76 | "other 300 may never get written." |
|---|
| subtitle-307450-308860-77 | "They need to understand that." |
|---|
| subtitle-308860-310690-78 | "You need to give them an idea of how this works." |
|---|
| subtitle-311050-312990-79 | "Again, it's obvious to us, we've been there." |
|---|
| subtitle-313000-314380-80 | "It's not obvious to them." |
|---|
| subtitle-315660-320250-81 | "And finally, like I said, they may have this one niggling question, this one edit that" |
|---|
| subtitle-320250-323250-82 | "they once tried about a football player, which has nothing to do with your" |
|---|
| subtitle-323250-327180-83 | "partnership. But they want an answer because finally they have a chance to talk to a" |
|---|
| subtitle-327180-328220-84 | "Wikipedia person." |
|---|
| subtitle-328230-332010-85 | "So again, try to give a brief answer, promise that you're happy to talk to them" |
|---|
| subtitle-332010-334500-86 | "after the meeting and really look at that." |
|---|
| subtitle-334860-338580-87 | "You can say something like, "I'm really happy to help you understand why that edit" |
|---|
| subtitle-338580-340830-88 | "was deleted, separately after the meeting." |
|---|
| subtitle-340830-342930-89 | "Show me and then I'll help you understand etc."." |
|---|
| subtitle-345550-347770-90 | "But again, be careful not to get carried away." |
|---|
| subtitle-348160-353350-91 | "You have a limited amount of time and you don't want to exceed it too much like I am in" |
|---|
| subtitle-353350-358840-92 | "this lecture. So keep trying to return to the main point of the meeting, which is the" |
|---|
| subtitle-358840-359650-93 | "partnership." |
