Belangrijk: Beoordeling beheerdersactiviteit bewerken

Goedendag. In 2013 is een beleid met betrekking tot het verwijderen van "geavanceerde rechten" (moderator, bureaucraat, etc.) bij consensus vastgesteld door de gemeenschap. Op basis van dit beleid beoordelen de stewards de activiteit van de moderators op alle wiki's van de Wikimedia Foundation waar geen eigen inactiviteitsbeleid geldt. Voor zover ons bekend, heeft deze wiki geen formeel proces voor het intrekken van "geavanceerde rechten" van inactieve accounts. Dit betekent dat de stewards zich hierover gaan ontfermen op basis van admin activiteitsbeoordeling.

We hebben vastgesteld dat de volgende gebruikers voldoen aan de inactiviteitscriteria (geen bewerkingen en geen gelogde acties in de afgelopen twee jaar):

  1. Globe-trotter (bureaucrat + administrator)
  2. Hansm (bureaucrat + administrator)
  3. Rein N. (bureaucrat + administrator)

Deze gebruikers ontvangen binnenkort een bericht, waarin hen gevraagd wordt het binnen de gemeenschap aan te geven als zij enkele of alle van hun rechten willen behouden. Als de gebruikers niet reageren, zullen hun geavanceerde rechten door de stewards worden ingetrokken.

Wil jullie gemeenschap haar eigen activiteitsbeoordelingsproces vaststellen, dat voor gaat op het globale proces, willen jullie een andere beslissing nemen met betrekking tot deze inactieve gebruikers met rechten of hebben jullie hier al een beleid voor dat niet bekend is bij de stewards, wil je dit dan aangeven op het berichtenbord van de stewards op Meta-Wiki, zodat we weten dat we niet verder hoeven te gaan met het beoordelen van de rechten op jouw wiki. Hartelijke dank. علاء (overleg) 4 jan 2022 11:50 (CET)[reageer]

Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections is now open bewerken

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.

With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.

Join the conversation.

Best,

Remember to Participate in the UCoC Conversations and Ratification Vote! bewerken

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello everyone,

A vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022 is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

  • A community panel recorded on 18 February 2022 shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
  • The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022 and 25 February 2022.

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC bewerken

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Ukrainian DotM bewerken

(sorry for English)

As a small symbolic gesture in favor of the Ukrainian population, the Italian community of Wikivoyage has decided to collaborate to push one Ukrainian city as Destination of the Month.

The choice fell on Lviv (it:Leopoli) because from a touristic point of view, among the interesting historical Ukrainian cities, this is the one furthest away city from the current conflict and therefore (we hope) the one that will suffer the least damage and changes.

Do you think this Wikivoyage community could also be interested in a similar initiative? --Andyrom75 (overleg) 12 mrt 2022 18:46 (CET)[reageer]

Verwijderde passages uit WP-artikelen over Franse gemeenten bewerken

Ter info: enkele dagen geleden zijn er in een aantal WP-artikelen over Franse gemeenten (de meeste in w:Categorie:Gemeente in Aude) stukken tekst verwijderd die qua vorm denk ik nog best op dit project zouden passen (zie hier voor een voorbeeld; Wutsje heeft kort daarvoor en daarna een reeks vergelijkbare edits gedaan op soortgelijke artikelen). Misschien voelt iemand hier zich geroepen om wat over te zetten? Hier en daar stonden ook bronnen bij de verwijderde passages, die kunnen evt. ook worden meegenomen. Ik geloof trouwens dat de betreffende gemeenten hier vaak nog helemaal geen eigen pagina hebben.

(Overigens blijft er zo wel heel weinig over van de WP-artikelen in kwestie; nog helemaal geen geschiedenissectie e.d. Helaas het zoveelste voorbeeld van hoe gebrekkig de coördinatie tussen de verschillende projecten is.) De Wikischim (overleg) 10 apr 2022 11:55 (CEST)[reageer]

Niemand heeft belangstelling dus? Ikzelf kan voorlopig helaas te weinig tijd vrijmaken voor speciaal dit project. De Wikischim (overleg) 13 mei 2022 18:00 (CEST)[reageer]

Sorry, ik zie dit nu pas. Ik hou me op WP redelijk intensief bezig met Franse gemeenten. Ik zal proberen hier attent op te zijn. MartinD (overleg) 16 mei 2022 18:11 (CEST)[reageer]

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines bewerken

Hello all,

We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.

Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.

Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.

Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.

Desktopverbeteringen-update bewerken

Dit de nieuwe standaard maken

Hallo. Ik wilde graag een update geven over het Desktopverbeteringen-project, waar het Wikimedia Foundation-webteam de afgelopen jaren aan heeft gewerkt. Ons werk is bijna klaar! 🎉

Wij zouden graag zien dat deze verbeteringen de standaard worden voor lezers en bewerkers op alle wiki's. In de komende weken zullen we gesprekken beginnen op meer wiki's, waaronder die van jou. 🗓️ We lezen graag uw suggesties!

Het doel van het project is om de interface uitnodigender en comfortabeler te maken voor lezers en nuttiger voor gevorderde gebruikers. Het project bestaat uit een reeks functieverbeteringen die het gemakkelijker maken om te lezen en te leren, binnen de pagina te navigeren, te zoeken, te wisselen van taal, artikeltabbladen en het gebruikersmenu te gebruiken, en meer. De verbeteringen zijn standaard al zichtbaar voor lezers en bewerkers op meer dan 30 wiki's, waaronder de Wikipedia's in het Frans, Portugees en Perzisch.

De wijzigingen zijn alleen van toepassing op de skin Vector. Monobook of Timeless worden niet beïnvloed.

De nieuwste functies
  • Inhoudsopgave - onze versie is gemakkelijker te bereiken, context van de pagina te verkrijgen, en door de pagina te navigeren zonder te hoeven scrollen. Het wordt momenteel getest op onze pilot-wiki's. Het is ook beschikbaar voor bewerkers die zich hebben aangemeld voor de Vector 2022-skin.
  • Paginahulpmiddelen - er zijn nu twee soorten links in de zijbalk. Er zijn acties en hulpmiddelen voor individuele pagina's (zoals Gerelateerde wijzigingen) en links van wiki-brede aard (zoals Recente wijzigingen). We gaan deze opsplitsen in twee intuïtieve menu's.
Hoe de verbeteringen te activeren
 
Globale voorkeuren
  • Het is mogelijk het op individuele wiki's te activeren op het tabblad Uiterlijk in de voorkeuren door "Vector (2022)" te selecteren. Het is ook mogelijk het op alle wiki's tegelijk te activeren met behulp van de Globale voorkeuren.
  • Op wiki's waar de wijzigingen standaard voor iedereen zichtbaar zijn, kunnen ingelogde gebruikers altijd teruggaan naar de oude Vector. Er is een gemakkelijk toegankelijke link in de zijbalk van de nieuwe Vector.
Leer meer en doe mee aan onze activiteiten

Als u de voortgang van ons project wilt volgen, kunt u zich abonneren op onze nieuwsbrief. U kunt de pagina's van het project lezen, onze FAQ bekijken, reageren op de project-overlegpagina, en deelnemen aan een online vergadering met ons.

Engelstalige Wikivoyage bewerken

Op de Engelse Wikivoyage hebben we de laatste tijd te maken gekregen met hardnekkig vandalisme, hoogstwaarschijnlijk met politieke motieven in de context van het aanslepende conflict tussen Rusland en Oekraïne. De gevandaliseerde artikels zijn uitsluitend regio's in Rusland en Oekraïne. Hoewel dergelijk vandalisme voorlopig nog niet op de Nederlandse Wikivoyage werd vastgesteld, is het aangewezen om extra waakzaam te zijn. De symptomen zijn steeds dezelfde:

  • Vandalen zijn uitsluitend geregistreerde gebruikers.
  • Hebben het uitsluitend op regio's in Rusland en Oekraïne gemunt.
  • Gemakkelijk herkenbaar doordat er grote hoeveelheden inhoud worden gewist (voorbeeld: voy:en:Murmansk Oblast).
  • Er wordt nooit een reden opgegeven voor deze schadelijke bewerkingen in de samenvatting.
  • Soms worden hele artikels gewist, en dan opnieuw ingevuld met vertalingen van de Russische Wikivoyage-editie (voorbeeld: voy:en:Kaspiysk).

Het is erg jammer dat Wikivoyage misbruikt wordt voor politieke doeleinden, maar de reiziger mag hier geen slachtoffer van worden. Hoe sneller de schadelijke bewerkingen worden ongedaan gemaakt, hoe beter. ArticCynda (overleg) ArticCynda (overleg) 25 jun 2022 11:35 (CEST)[reageer]

@ArticCynda: Je zegt het precies verkeerd om, het zijn niet-geregistreerde gebruikers die in een tijdsbestek van weinige minuten bewerkingen (veel tekst toevoegen) hebben gedaan die door beheerders zijn teruggedraaid. --FredTC (overleg) 25 jun 2022 13:28 (CEST)[reageer]
Dat dacht ik aanvankelijk ook, maar als je naar de paginageschiedenis kijkt dan kan je duidelijk zien dat de inhoud die toegevoegd wordt effectief legitieme reisinhoud is, en dat het deze zogezegde "beheerders" zijn verantwoordelijk zijn voor vandalisme en legitieme inhoud op grote schaal te verwijderen zonder gegronde reden. Het leek me vreemd, dus heb het meteen aangekaart op een overlegpagina. Maar binnen enkele minuten werd die discussie verwijderd en zelfs gewist uit de paginageschiedenis. Meer bewijs is er voor mij niet nodig om kwaadwillig gedrag te veronderstellen. Dus zeker opletten geblazen, in geval dit soort gecamoufleerd vandalisme overloopt naar de Nederlandse Wikivoyage. ArticCynda (overleg)
ArticCynda, I'm sorry to say, but what you just mentioned was a pathetic excuse to evade your block on the English Wikivoyage.
All edits were your IPs and sockpuppets, where not one, not two, not three, but five users had to intervene. None of this has to do with the Russian and Ukraine, nor does it have anything to do with censorship. It's a pity that you could not accept community consensus (voir voy:en:Wikivoyage talk:User ban nominations/Archive_2021-2023), and as with any Wikimedia project, evading your block is not allowed. None of this has to do with "vandalism", nor does this have to do with censorship. Too bad you couldn't accept the rumple you made for yourself.
If you really want to be unblocked on the English Wikivoyage, your best bet would be is to start a discussion on m:Requests for comment, but I doubt you'll get very far. --SHB2000 (overleg) 26 jun 2022 04:13 (CEST)[reageer]
SHB2000, ik denk dat je de omvang van kwaadwillige acties sinds de aanvang van het Rusland-Oekraïne-conflict onderschat. We hebben sinds maart 2022 effectief een explosieve toename van vandalisme vastgesteld dat zich toespitst op artikels in Rusland en Oekraïne. Aanzienlijke hoeveelheden reisinhoud worden stelselmatig verwijderd en/of vervangen door inhoud van minderwaardige kwaliteit die vertaald wordt uit de Russische Wikivoyage. Dit zijn harde feiten die iedereen kan checken via de artikelgeschiedenis van de geviseerde artikels.
Daarbovenop zien we ook verontrustende patronen in de aard van de bewerkingen. Ook voor de Rusland-Oekraïne-crisis zagen we af en toe vandalisme op Wikivoyage, maar gelukkig veelal beperkt tot sporadische propaganda (bv. van Chinese nationalisten) en ook veel spam. Daarentegen, nu zien we systematisch vandalisme dat specifiek gericht is op Rusland. De frequentie van het vastgestelde vandalisme en hardnekkigheid doet vermoeden dat dit geen geïsoleerde gevallen zijn, maar een gecoördineerde aanval op Wikivoyage.
Merk op dat ik geen uitspraak doe over de motieven hierachter. Ik kan alleen maar vaststellen dat de intensiteit is toegenomen sinds het Rusland-Oekraïne-conflict. Voor Wikivoyage maakt het ook niet uit wat de motieven zijn; onze prioriteit is de reiziger die correcte en actuele informatie ter beschikking moet hebben. Als Wikivoyage-gemeenschap draaien we daarom bewerkingen terug die niet in het belang van onze lezers zijn, ongeacht of dit politiek gemotiveerd vandalisme is of spam.
Dat gezegd zijnde, in dit geval heeft het vandalisme soms ook consequenties op de grond, meer bepaald als het vandalisme de integriteit van informatie betreffende veiligheid of gezondheid aantast. Dit is geen hypothetisch scenario, we hebben recent censuur gezien in discussies die veiligheid in Dagestan aangaan. Het spreekt voor zich dat valse informatie of censuur in dergelijke gevoelige discussies ernstige gevolgen kan hebben voor reizigers naar die regio's. Daarom is het essentieel dat we als Wikivoyage gemeenschap op de hoogte zijn van politiek geïnspireerd vandalisme, en er zo snel mogelijk tegen optreden. — ArticCynda (overleg) 30 jun 2022 12:26 (CEST)[reageer]
ArticCynda, none of what you wrote was relevant to anything that happened. What part of "banned users cannot edit" don't you get? It's a pity that you couldn't acknowledge that you block evaded with several IPs and couldn't stop whinging that your IP sockpuppets were "censored". SHB2000 (overleg) 30 jun 2022 12:30 (CEST)[reageer]
SHB2000, heb je enig bewijs dat deze IPs aan elkaar gelinkt zijn? Of is dit louter gebaseerd op een vermoeden dat niet door tastbare feiten wordt ondersteund? — ArticCynda (overleg) 30 jun 2022 13:14 (CEST)[reageer]
ArticCynda, how many times do I have to tell you that these IPs can be blocked per Wikipedia's duck test. SHB2000 (overleg) 30 jun 2022 13:16 (CEST)[reageer]
SHB2000, Wikivoyage is niet hetzelfde als Wikipedia. Regels en richtlijnen die van toepassing zijn op Wikipedia zijn niet noodzakelijk van toepassing op Wikivoyage. — ArticCynda (overleg) 30 jun 2022 13:21 (CEST)[reageer]
Indien je problemen hebt met hoe lokale admins op de Engelstalige Wikivoyage dingen doen, dien je dat daar te bediscussiëren. Als dat niet gaat, kan dat ook op Meta.
Die discussie hier voeren of van elders hier importeren is niet de bedoeling.
De geschetste situatie van het eerste bericht heb ik, samen met een andere vaste gebruiker van nl-Wikivoyage, bekeken. Het geschetste beeld herkennen wij niet.
Wat in de geschiedenis van diverse pagina's op de Engelstalige Wikivoyage te zien is, is dat er flinke stukken tekst worden toegevoegd die binnen een aantal minuten door admins weer worden verwijderd. Met andere woorden: iemand voegt een lap tekst in, een admin constateert dat deze toevoeging problematisch is en herstelt vervolgens de vorige versie. Dat er nooit een reden wordt opgegeven is een leugen. Als er twijfels zijn over een toevoeging, is het vanzelfsprekend dat de vorige versie wordt hersteld. Op de Engelstalige Wikivoyage zijn er 41 admins die elkaar controleren en beoordelen of bijvoorbeeld het herstellen naar een eerdere versie en verbergen gerechtvaardigd is.
"Meer bewijs is er voor mij niet nodig om kwaadwillig gedrag te veronderstellen." -> Dit is een totaal niet onderbouwde bewering en is in strijd met de beginselen van Wikimedia. Op geen enkele manier geef je bewijs van ook maar enige schadelijkheid. Het eveneens benoemen van een herstelactie als "vandalisme" is buitengewoon problematisch. Er worden hier leugens verkondigd en er is sprake van kwaadsprekerij, met andere woorden: laster. Als dit gedrag doorgaat zal er actie ondernomen worden.
Omdat laster niet thuis hoort op Wikivoyage (los van de verdere problemen aan deze discussie) zal deze discussie over een aantal dagen van deze pagina verwijderd worden. Romaine (overleg) 6 jul 2022 05:29 (CEST)[reageer]

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass bewerken

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass
  • July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
  • July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
  • July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
  • August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
  • August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
  • August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

NL public transport tips&tricks? bewerken

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks? bewerken

 
The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

About the skin bewerken

[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

  • The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
  • The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
  • The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
  • The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.

How can editors change and customize this skin? bewerken

It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.

Our plan bewerken

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.

If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 22 sep 2022 06:15 (CEST)[reageer]

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions bewerken

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello all,

During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:

  • Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
  • Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
  • North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.

We thank you for your time and participation.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee bewerken

Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.

About the Ombuds commission

The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.

Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

About the Case Review Committee

The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.

We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

Applying to join either of these groups

Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.

If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:

  • Your primary projects
  • Languages you speak/write
  • Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
  • Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
  • Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
  • Any other information you think is relevant

The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!

On behalf of the Committee Support team,
