Chapters news on Main Page Goings-on

[edit]

Why not just add that to Template:Main Page/WM News? You don't need to be an admin to modify it. πr2 (t • c) 20:31, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Do you want to have a separate section for chapters news? πr2 (t • c) 20:32, 10 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi and sorry for being late. Thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure if I am like "allowed" to add this kind of news there. :) As long as we don't we don't have a task force for those chapter related news, I am totally fine with adding them on the general goings-on section. Cheers! --Nicole Ebber (WMDE) (talk) 20:07, 21 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Danke!

Wikimedia Chapters Survey. :)

[edit]

Hello Nicole!

I am running a small research study for WCA and Wikimania 2013 and I would like to ask you for a favour. :)

I have created a following draft: Wikimedia Chapters Association/Research/Survey 1 - the idea is that particular chapters could easily give their answers in their pace simply by editing a subpage dedicated to their own organization.

Before I create their subpages I would like to consult with you about the questions - I still feel I might have some improvements here. :) I do not want to ask to many questions as the people may stop responding completely but I would like to ask you what question would you add, change, remove? :)

Aaand certainly I could count on you and your chapter in filling the forms? :)

Best Regards!

aegis maelstrom δ 14:10, 5 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for your response. :) Your help will be vital - this is too much data mining for one volunteer with somewhat limited time, I am afraid, but it would be cool to do that. Your subpage is here. :)
Best,

I have added some Feedback here. --Nicole Ebber (WMDE) (talk) 19:00, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! I've tried to respond best I could. Honestly, if you have any ideas or requirements for Chapters' Dialogue, shoot, I will try to adjust. It is for a sake of co-operation, after all. :)

Chapters Dialogue Results Made Public?

[edit]

It would be nice to have a list of the statements/sticky notes you and Kira prepared from your research for the Chapter's Dialogue so we can use this data for further research and examination. I'm going to send you an email with my further thoughts on this but also wanted to post it publicly. OR drohowa (talk) 13:54, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey Dorothy, yes of course, it will all be made public in May/June. Please stay tuned! :) --Nicole Ebber (WMDE) (talk) 15:20, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi MarcoAurelio, thanks for this notice. Please go ahead and delete the file right away. We used this logo in 2012 for the Wikimedia Conference, as it was hosted in the premises of Club Office.

Application

Hi. There seems to be a problem with the application for Strategic Groups -- it requests that name and email is filled out with numbers not letters. Thanks for the hard work on this! --Joalpe (talk) 23:41, 12 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Empfehlungen der Arbeitsgruppe Diversity

[edit]

Hallo Nicole Ebber, da Du das Core-Team Strategy leitest, würde ich mich freuen, wenn Du vielleicht Stellung beziehen könntest zu den doch recht erstaunlichen Empfehlungen der Arbeitsgruppe Diversity. Ich wurde durch diese Diskussion darauf aufmerksam und das bemerkenswerte Zitat „The classic notion of an encyclopaedia and ‘universal knowledge’ needs to be discarded“ dürfte von den Wikipedianern wohl kaum mit freudiger Erwartung aufgenommen werden (Recommendation # 2, Q3a, Punkt 4). Die Empfehlungen nehmen auch ansonsten keine Gefangenen und wenden sich konkret gegen die ehernen Grundprinzipien wie WP:NPOV oder die freie Lizenzierung. Das lässt nicht wenige sprachlos zurück und wir fragen uns natürlich, was da möglicherweise auf uns zukommt. Ich gestehe offen, dass ich diese Strategie-Prozesse bislang nicht sonderlich verfolgt habe und viele andere wohl auch nicht. Zumindest im Kurier wurde das (meines Wissens) wohl auch nicht eingehend behandelt. Ich habe eine Diskussion hierzu eröffnet in der Hoffnung, dass mit etwas Aufklärung das alles nur wie ein böser Traum aussieht. Es lässt sich sicherlich vieles verbessern und es ist auch sinnvoll, solche Prozesse dazu anzustoßen. Aber die Grundprinzipien sollten doch nicht wirklich zur Debatte stehen, oder? Gerade nach WP:FRAMGATE wäre es hilfreich, wenn eine weitere Eskalationsspirale zwischen WMF und den Gemeinschaften vermieden werden könnte. Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 14:35, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Inzwischen gibt es einen von Tinz veröffentlichten Kurierartikel dazu: Strategy 2018-20: Ein WMF-Komitee empfiehlt, die Enzyklopädie abzuschaffen. Die Diskussion dazu läuft hier: de:Wikipedia Diskussion:Kurier#Strategy 2018-20: Ein WMF-Komitee empfiehlt, die Enzyklopädie abzuschaffen. Viele Grüße, AFBorchert (talk) 14:54, 12 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Index of WMDE statements?

[edit]

Hi. Do you happen to know if there's an index anywhere of official WMDE statements? I'm looking mostly for things like this and this. I find the statements to be unusually insightful, and would like to read more like that, other WMDE statements on major Wikimedia topics, if such a list is available. --Yair rand (talk) 05:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi Yair rand, thanks for reaching out. I am currently not aware of such an index, but let me try and find out more and get back to you. Best, --Nicole Ebber (WMDE) (talk) 08:15, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hello again, Yair rand. So from what I know there is no such index at the moment, but I have transferred your question into a todo for me and my team at WMDE. We'll create something over the next weeks and then I'll ping you again. In the meantime, some documents that still have some relevance and that you might also find insightful are our Feedback on to the FDC process from 2014, our Essay on Wikimedia's culture of sharing from 2012 and of course the outcomes of the Chapters Dialogue project I lead in 2013-14. Thanks again for the inspiration to create a collection. :) --Nicole Ebber (WMDE) (talk) 10:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
