Summary
edit| Line | Theme (refer to key) | Question (refer to key) | Summary Statement | Keywords |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 1 | We must take into account and act to expand diversity in the community | Diversity, Expand |
| 2 | A | 1 | It is necessary to raise the community's ability to deal with different opinions and ideas | Different opinion, Deal with |
| 3 | A | 1 | Diversity in the community can increase our ability to deal with people, beliefs and other perceptions | Diversity, Community |
| 4 | A | 1 | This is a way to increase our influence - a broad community increases the ability to influence decision makers. It will reach all sorts of places - in the media and among decision makers | Broad community, Increase, Influence |
| 5 | A | 1 | The range of opinions will be greater - so that they will not be attracted only in one direction - it will neutralize various biases | Opinions, Broad, Bias |
| 6 | A | 2 | The other themes looks a lot forward - you can't know what will be in 15 years. This theme is relevant today | Future, Relevant, Today |
| 7 | A | 2 | The added value that distinguishes Wikimedia from other platforms in this community. The issue of technology refers to another 30 years. The issue of a real global community comes out of this issue. That's the added value | Value, Wikimedia, Community |
| 8 | A | 3 | We will have to compromise on uniformity. On the monopoly of existing editors | Compromise, Uniformity, Monopoly |
| 9 | A | 3 | There is no need to compromise on quality, because there is currently no such a distinct quality. It will be necessary but let go of the patronage that exists today | Patronage, Compromise |
| 10 | A | 3 | The renunciation of existing and cumbersome procedures will allow for development towards other communities. At the moment, the vision is very Western | Renunciation, Procedures, Development |
| 11 | A | 4 | We need to locate disadvantaged communities - battered women, Arab schools, Ethiopian immigrants, immigrants from the Soviet Union and people with disabilities | Disadvantaged, Communities |
| 12 | A | 4 | There is currently an emphasis on editing in Wikipedia. One has to think about involvement in the community. Get closer to the community. It is something that can not come from above, but from within the community | Involvement, Community |
| 13 | A | 4 | Volunteer editors tend to stay in their comfort zone. Here it is the job of the affiliate - to initiate and continue the activities that the volunteers have started | Affiliate, Initiate, Activities |
| 14 | A | 5 | We need to cooperate with academia to fight against fake News | Cooperate, Academia |
| 15 | A | 5 | We need to cooperate with commercial technology companies that invest in Africa - in research and community mobilization | Cooperate, Commercial, Companies |
| 16 | A | 5 | There is a danger of cooperation with commercial entities. But beyond the dangers of such cooperation - does that fit in with the Wikimedia ethos? | Cooperation, Commercial, Dangers |
| 17 | C | 1 | As a global community we can change the world and influence legislation and politics in the movement's goals | Global, Community, Influence |
| 18 | C | 1 | We need to listen to people from other places | Listen, Other places |
| 19 | C | 1 | It is necessary to act in favor of preserving local knowledge in local languages, and also to allow European languages to integrate local knowledge | Preserving, Local, Knowledge |
| 20 | C | 1 | Create a wiki tool for language preservation. Instead of opening Wikipedia for languages to preserve, open a new tool in the Wiki for Language Preservation | Language, Preservation, Tool |
| 21 | C | 1 | Good translation software will create knowledge. The editors will only edit the knowledge that has been created. | Translation, Software |
| 22 | C | 1 | Wikipedia should be subdivided into sub-languages | Subdivided, Sub-languages |
| 23 | C | 1 | We need to think of virtual universities - not just an encyclopedia. On the basis of knowledge to produce an international learning system | Virtual, Universitie |
| 24 | C | 1 | We need to show at the same time a number of languages - a number of narratives of one article | Languages, Narratives |
| 25 | C | 1 | We need to hold conferences divided by regions | Conferences, Regions |
| 26 | C | 1 | We need to display information in a different way - videos. Reading articles in spoken languages | Information, Display, Different-way |
| 27 | C | 2 | We can't give up on the other themes | Themes |
| 28 | C | 2 | Prosperous communities will strengthen small communities | Communities, Strengthen |
| 29 | C | 2 | Technology is a key tool for a truly global movement | Technology, Global, Movement |
| 30 | C | 2 | We need to create a reliable knowledge that people from around the world can use as a basis for joint projects | Reliable, Knowledge, Projects |
| 31 | D | 1 | Reliability is critical to Wikipedia. This is usually the first argument against Wikipedia. | Reliability, Wikipedia |
| 32 | D | 1 | Technological collaborations should be established, both within the community and with external companies | Collaborations, External companies, Community |
| 33 | D | 1 | Mechanisms should be established to identify the Vendals. And we should use AI for the identification of curses (etc). | Mechanisms, Identify, Vendals |
| 34 | D | 1 | It has also been proposed to improve the Wikipedia interface so that it is clear where the information was taken from. An interface that will show readers how they can add information and how the mechanism works. | Interface, Wikipedia |
| 35 | D | 1 | Experts must be recruited. | Experts, Recruit |
| 36 | D | 1 | We must stress the importance of sources, and neutrality. | Sources, Neutrality |
| 37 | D | 1 | Encouraging writing contests can help add editors to the editors circle. | Encourage, Writing contests |
| 38 | D | 1 | It is very important to continue to maintain how Wikipedia works. The mechanisms the community has are critical to maintaining credibility, and are more important than a specific project to encourage writing. | Maintain, Wikipedia |
| 39 | D | 1 | Some Wikipedians in the group have raised the issue of Prohibiting anonymous editing. But there were also Wikipedians who opposed the proposal. | Anonymous-editing, Prohibiting |
| 40 | E | 1 | Educational projects create a reserve of editors (and therefore the subject is related to the theme "Healthy, inclusive communities"), which is important since there is naturally a departure. If there were no Wikimedia collaborations, the community would be smaller | Education, Projects |
| 41 | E | 1 | Collaborations are needed to diversify and expand content. In matters that the editors' community does not know so well | Collaborations, Content |
| 42 | E | 1 | Making new partners is a product of future growth | partnership |
| 43 | E | 1 | In the present age it is easy to feel lonely. Wikipedia has community, discussions, conversations. Through partnerships with civil organizations working in this field, Wikipedia can play an important role in creating a social network around common interests, helping to fill this void | Wikipedia, Social network |
| 44 | E | 1 | Promoting cooperation will enable us to create an integrated and interdisciplinary knowledge base that will enable us to learn about a particular topic easily and from different angles | Cooperation, Knowledge |
| 45 | E | 1 | Wikimedia projects that are not Wikipedia or Commons generally tend not to rise. It seems best to try to embed content in layers within Wikipedia | Wikipedia, Embed-content |
| 46 | E | 1 | Early childhood education projects, even before students can edit, are also important, because Wikipedia literacy provides skills to evaluate information that is becoming important in the present age | education, literacy skills |
| 47 | E | 2 | The subject of cooperation is not as basic as the issues of Source of Knowledge, communities and The Augmented Age. In the last three Wikipedia is conditional. But, for 10-15 years we have lived "within ourselves", and we may have exhausted the inner resources of the community and the movement. Turning to new partners is a product of future growth | cooperation, partners, growth |
| 48 | E | 2 | The issue of "A Truly Global Movement" is less important to me because it will require resources from another, more fundamental or more important place, and this development can even happen without our push | Resources |
| 49 | E | 2 | It is impossible to give up on any theme, because all themes are like tools that are intertwined and connected. For example, on "A Truly Global Movement" - if non-mainstream population groups can not be represented - Wikipedia may be perceived as a site that represents a specific group and therefore unreliable | Themes, Intertwined |
| 50 | E | 4 | Collaborations enable the production of quality knowledge by experts, but in return sometimes the Wikipedia rules need to be adapted to the needs of the body of knowledge with which they cooperate and to find a golden path | Collaboration, Adapt |
| 51 | E | 4 | In order for educational and training initiatives to create a reserve of editors, a model should be created in which the project is not necessarily translated immediately into articles. This protected environment and training will enable them to have a positive experience and gradually become regular editors | Education, Initiative, |
| 52 | E | 4 | In the context of commercialism, our entire essence is based on non-commercialism, and if we become flexible here we will owe it to others. we can't compromise on that | Commercialism |
| 53 | E | 4 | In the field of technology, commercial companies have the potential to contribute a lot to us. Such as Google's translation tool. Insisting on the current rules regarding the prohibition of cooperation with commercial entities can interfere with our growth | Commercial, Cooperation |
| 54 | E | 5 | It is possible to form cooperation with knowledge producers interested in giving representation to a field that receives problematic representation in the media / improving image / raising awareness of a subject. | Cooperation, Representation |
| 55 | E | 5 | It is possible to form cooperation with knowledge producers who are interested in offering an innovative way to learn, especially with adult learners who have exhausted the "regular" learning methods. | Cooperation, Innovative, Learn |
| 56 | E | 5 | It is possible to form Cooperation with knowledge producers interested in the desire to offer a community integration and an end to loneliness within the Wikipedia community | Cooperation, Integration, Community |
| 57 | E | 1 | It is possible to form Cooperation with knowledge producers interested in increasing accessibility of content rather than placing barriers to accessibility in order to maintain exclusivity | Cooperation, Accessibility, Content |
| 58 | E | 1 | It is possible to form cooperation with knowledge producers interested in adding additional content to existing articles | cooperation, Additional content |
