Possible copyright infrigment

Hello dear Anthere,

Je go on in French because it's plus simple pour both of nous. Je viens de tomber sur ceci au hasard d'une PàS sur Wikipédia : le logo me rappelle étrangement quelque chose, mais impossible de mettre le doigt dessus... Ah ben si, ça serait pas un logo copyrighté par la fondation, dis donc ? Enfin voilà, je fais passer l'info, des fois que tu aies comme une petite envie de leur écrire (ou faire écrire) un petit mail à ce propos. Cordialement, Alchemica 19:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

mouis... certes, mais en meme temps, ca semble tout jeune, et le logo en haut à gauche est okay. A revoir dans qlq temps, c est peut etre temporaire :-) merci quand meme Anthere 00:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Oversight

Hi Anthere, I noticed you gave yourself oversight but didn't switch it off. I was wondering if you forgot, or there was a reason you kept it? Thanks! Majorly (talk) 01:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

oh, yeah, I forgot. It was essentially to "see" how the interface was working :-) I'll go remove it. Anthere 02:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions for changes in the WMF privacy policy.

Dear Ms Nibart-Devouard, I would like to draw your attention to some suggestions for changes in the WMF privacy policy posted that I posted today at the WMF site: [1]. Since the WMF Board of Trustees actually decides on any changes in the privacy policy, I hope that you, as the Chair of the Board, will take a look at these suggestions. The main gist of the suggested changes is to require some form of notification of those registered users whose identifying info is being sought by subpoenas in third-party lawsuits. These suggestions are motivated in large part by a discussion that took place in January 2008 at the Wikipedia Village Pump (Policy) page [2] in relation to an incident where identifying IP data of sixteen Wikipedia users was released in response to such a subpoena. Of course, anyone else reading this is also welcome to participate in the discussion on this proposal. Regards, Nsk92 21:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

okay. Since I asked Mike to work for us to recommand a data retention policy, I expect we'll have some updates to do to the privacy policy. So, let me note that point. Thank you. Anthere 17:38, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Email

I sent you an email yesterday by the way. Majorly (talk) 13:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Elearning1.jpg

Please upload this image to Commons with an appropriate license. Adambro 12:09, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

There is a license on that image. Cbrown1023 talk 15:09, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Indeed there is but the issue here is that Meta doesn't have the ability to deal with images free images as well as Commons can do. We don't have all the license templates for example and so it is easier if images are uploaded to Commons which is set up specifically to handle freely licensed images. In this particular case there is no CC BY SA template and it would be also useful to know what version(s) of CC BY SA applies. Adambro 15:20, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:FLOSS.jpg is missing details of its source and license. Adambro 12:13, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Unless the policy on meta is changing, and we now do not accept free licenses anymore, the image is here and will stay here. Anthere 22:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd suggest that is unlikely. I'll probably move them before long to Commons, the preferred host for all free media files on WMF, and then propose they be deleted here. However, I appreciate you dealing with this issue and clarify that my suggestion to upload the image to Commons was to benefit from the better management of free content rather than a suggestion that free content is not permitted on Meta although I see no reason why such content should be uploaded here rather than Commons. Adambro 22:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

And I will respectfully disagree with you. Commons is meant as a database for global use, whilst meta is meant to be a wiki for our own organization. Anthere

The Commons Project scope appears to me to be sufficiently broad to include all freely licensed content useful to the WMF projects, whether this is media files that are used in those projects or used in a supporting role. I'm not sure upon what you're basing your suggestion that this isn't the case and I would appreciate it if you would provide a fuller explanation of your position. Adambro 23:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The image in question was taken during a conference I participated to. I know the author of it was okay with publishing it under a free license. However, I did not get individual agreement of each person on the image before publication. As such, for a question of privacy, I think it is not a good idea (not so much legally, than ethically) to verse this image in a global pool for anyone to just dig and use as they wish. Which commons explicitely is. Whilst republishing is indeed possible since it is under a free licence, I do think having it on meta, where it illustrate some of our activities, makes it less likely that a big private company use it to make an advertisement or any use that might hurt one of the peopel on the picture. I also do think that generally, this should be done with members of our community as well. Anthere 23:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

That's an interesting point but I think it is perhaps unwise to freely release images and then attempt to control how they are used. If the photographer agreed to release under a valid free license then it should be on Commons, if they didn't then it should be deleted. If you're not happy with the image being used in accordance with the license then you shouldn't have uploaded it. I'd agree however that this is unfortunate. Adambro 23:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I would still argue that there is no policy on meta making it mandatory to upload all images on commons. And I still do not think it is a good idea to dump every image meant for team building on commons. Anthere 23:39, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

With all respect, isn't a request to delete another persons uploaded images, on a project that hasn't stated that uploads are banned, an interference with that said persons work on this project? Project specific images are much better uploaded on the specific projects where they are needed if they are not of such a quality and/or of a subject that can (or should) be used on other projects. If there are only one project where they are, and reasonably can be argued that they will be used, then there are no reason to move them to Commons. 87.248.5.124 23:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Blog

As a member of the chapcom, I have a different perspective on chapters issues then many other people have. I've also tried to start my own US chapter in the past (WM Pennsylvania) so I know that the barrier is real! Some people don't have all the information that I have, so I like to set the record straight when possible. Plus, I don't like it when good people generate bad press! --Whiteknight (meta) (Books) 00:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Rachel Marsden's Photo Replacement Request to OTRS

Rachel Marsden has sent an email to OTRS (the email is copied on the talk page of the article, here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Rachel_Marsden#New_Photo ) requesting that the photo used in her BLP be replaced with a more generic one which she has given to us under free licence. The admins over at the Rachel Marsden page are requesting that someone from OTRS go in and approve the use of the new photo (in Image file and Commons as Rachelheadshot.jpg) and insert it into the article. Otherwise, it's being blocked. If you could do so, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Florence, I was pinged on my enwp talk page about this, and so it will hopefully not require any of your valuable time to do it personally :) Cheers, Daniel (talk) 12:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Florence : un appel au secours

Florence, Permettez-moi de vous apeller Florence, Bonjour et au secours !

Bonjour, parce que je vous le souhaite et au secours, parce que bien qu'avec un parcours qui a des similitudes au vôtre en termes de partage de ses connaissances avec les autres je me trouve sur Wiki dans une position inextricable....

je vous en prie ne me jetez pas car avant de vous contacter, j'ai tout essayé, et rien je dis bien rien n'a fonctionné !!!

Lecteur de Wikipédia depuis le début, et très modeste contributeur, le plus souvent anonyme depuis longtemps, j'ai paramétré ma page Utilisateur à l'image de la vôtre et publiée ma Bio sans soucis ni critique pendant plus de neuf mois, quand, soudain, ce matin du 4 Juin, alors que je changeais une ligne, je me suis vu totalement effacé la totalité de mon travail et taxé de vandalisme.

J'ai alors tenté de revenir sous mon vrai non d'Utilisateur qui est ausi mon nom et patronyme: et là patatras, j'ai été banni pour une durée indéfinie alors que je ne faisais que recopier mon article, tel quel, conforme à ce qu'il avait été sans aucune réclamation pendant neuf mois.

pour faire court, n'ayant plus accès à ma propre page Utilisateur, ce que je trouve révoltant, voici le motif écrit qui figure on line :

4 juin 2008 à 13:23 Darkoneko (Discuter | Contributions) a bloqué « Christxxx de Cxxxy (Discuter | Contributions) » - durée : indéfiniment (création de compte interdite) ‎ (Bon débarras, et on attend vos attaques avec impatience.)

Je n'ai rien compris si ce n'est que celà me cause un tort considérable, car j'avais mis vers ma page utilisateur un lien qui a ce jour est un lien mort de ma biographie, et qu'au passage Wiki possède plusieurs bio comme la vôtre - et la mienne - ce qui semble t il n'a choqué personne pendant neuf mois alors pourquoi cet exces de zele aujourd'hui ?

De plus le vandalisme par mon révocateur de ma propre page utilisateur n'étant pas suffisant j'ai été banni, ce qui figure a présent sur ma page utilisateur devenue blanche, laquelle est un miroir résonnant sur Google ce qui me pose un réel problème en termes d'image, puisque j'ai écris et déclaré ma page utilisateur sous mon vrai nom et prénom, qui a présent sont synonimes de banni lorsque l'on clique sur ma page Aberrant

Aidez-moi je vous en prie

Pourquoi suis je banni pour avoir uniquement modifié une page : LA MIENNE Pourquoi m'a t on laissé oeuvré neuf mois paisiblement pour reverter ma bio aujourd'hui ? Pourquoi votre bio au demeurant remarquable, aurait droit à un article en ligne, tandis que la mienne n'aurait même pas le droit de figurer sur ma page Utilisateur ?

Florence  : AIDEZ MOI Chrisxxxhe de Cxxxy decagnychris at yahoo.fr

Florence est probablement très occupée et n'est probablement pas la personne la plus à même de vous aider. Vous pouvez contacter l'équipe de volontaires répondant au courrier électronique en envoyant un message décrivant votre problème à l'adresse info-frwikimedia.org. Veuillez cependant garder à l'esprit que Wikipedia n'est pas un hébergeur de pages personnelles, mais un projet d'encyclopédie. guillom 13:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Oui. Un coup d'oeil rapide me permet de voir immédiatement que la situation n'est pas tout à fait aussi simple que ce que vous voulez décrire. Votre page utilisateur et votre page de discussion ont été blanchies par courtoisie. Il semble donc qu'il n'y ait aucun problème spécifique à traiter. Cordialement Anthere

Comme toujours sur Wikipédia, les réponses sont partielles et ne concernent qu'une partie du sujet: celui bien sûr où Wikipédia n'est pas en porte à faux.... J'ai depuis trouvé une vingtaine de biographie sur Wiki.... émanant d'administrateurs anciens ou nouveaux ... de plus, j'ai bénéficié de nombreux articles dans la presse dite spécialisée...il s'agit donc de savoir où et quand commence la notoriété et ou et quand finit la simple page perso. il est évident que je ne suis ni François Villon ni Johnny Haliday, mais j'aimerai que l'on se renseigne avant de blanchir,une page, la notoriété d'une personne émettant une biographie ne se limitant pas aux trois premières réponses de google! En clair, ma bio avait sa raison d'être ici, et les divers intervenants auraient du en discuter en émettant leur avis sur ma page de discussion AVANT et non après les actes de blanchiement, - moi je dis vandalisme- qu'ils ont un peu vite commis. De plus, Wikipedia demeure trop souvent juge et partie, et l'ambiance générale n'est plus la même : il n'y a qu'à voir le nombre de conflits étalés sur votre page !!! Beaucoup trop d'administrateurs sont étudiants, sans connaissance particulière, leur savoir est réduit, leur expérience de modération inexistante, et au final, c'est Wiki qui en pâtit. Enfin, j'attends toujours valable réponse au fait qu'il est inexcusable que j'ai été banni et interdit de rédaction sur MA PROPRE PAGE sans ausune raison valable. Pas un intervenant n'a justifié cette sanction et pour cause !!! Elle est injustifiable. J'attends donc le libre accès à ma page et davantage de dialogue à l'avenir. Bonne continuation Christophe

Appel à médiation

Introduction

Florence,

Tout d'abord, merci pour votre travail, merci à tous ceux qui à vos cotés œuvrent à la diffusion de la connaissance. Utilisateur quasi permanent de Wikipédia (Un onglet de mon explorateur pointe en permanence sur la page d'accueil), n'hésitant jamais, un enfant sur les genoux, à me renseigner sur la coccinelle et sa larve trouvée dans le jardin http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae (Très belles images), ou à titre personnel sur l'histoire des mouvements ésotériques et spirituels occidentaux (Voir la page concernant Hélène Blavatsky), je ne peux que m'étendre en béatitudes, mais je m'arrête ici, car tel n'est pas le sujet.

Je suis par ailleurs lecteur assidu du site de Jean-Pierre PETIT (Ci après nommé JPP), et je suis à présent confronté à une douloureuse double contrainte, concernant la polémique qui l'oppose à un (ou plusieurs ?) administrateurs de fr.wikipédia.

D'un coté l'inespérée encyclopédie vivante, outil indispensable de culture, de l'autre un scientifique de haut vol, travaillant sans relâche à la découverte de nouveaux horizons (D’aucuns transdimentionnels, tant la physique est parfois étrange) et vulgarisant bénévolement et avec passion un savoir dont il est souvent lui-même le découvreur (Retournement de surfaces 3D, annihilation de l’instabilité de Velikhov, auteur d’un modèle cosmologique révolutionnaire, et j’en passe).

La raison qui me fait m’adresser à vous, est de demander votre médiation, concernant une guerre éditoriale l’ayant opposé à un administrateur, qui a demandé et obtenu de ses pairs, un bannissement à vie.

A ma connaissance, c’est la première fois qu’un bannissement à vie concernant un ingénieur SupAéro, également ancien directeur de recherches au CNRS se produit.

Par ailleurs, ce conflit nuit à l’image de Wikipédia France.

Les problèmes

Premier problème, certes déconcertant mais non moins réel : JPP voit les mentions qu’il fait apparaître sur son article de biographie être régulièrement effacées, du fait semble-t-il d’un administrateur prétextant le vandalisme.

Je m’insurge contre le fait qu’une personne ne puisse avoir librement accès à l’article qui traite de sa propre biographie. Ceci est un non sens, qui plus est une atteinte à une liberté fondamentale.

Deuxième problème (Non moindre) : Ce bannissement à vie concerne une personne dont les multiples compétences ne sont plus à démontrer, par ailleurs excellent vulgarisateur, privant ainsi Wikipédia de la possibilité d’une contribution de qualité.

Propositions

Premièrement, Il semble légitime, voire indispensable de permettre à une personne l’accès libre à la modification de la page qui concerne sa biographie.

Les problèmes de vandalisme peuvent être aisément contournés en attribuant à l’intéressé un login permettant de le différentier sans aucune ambiguïté d’un simple vandale.

Deuxièmement, Wikipédia France devrait renouer le contact avec JPP, afin de normaliser les relations, et de gagner ainsi un éventuel contributeur de tout premier ordre.

Remarque

J’avais créé hier soir un appel à commentaires, exposant clairement les différents points que j’ai cités. A ma grande surprise, la page a été supprimée dans la nuit, vers 3 heures du matin, sans autre forme de procès.

Commentaire

Jean-Louis

Première fois que je m'exprime en ces lieux. Alors juste un mot pour parler moi aussi de ce bannissement à vie ?! Assez incroyable de lire de telle chose sur Wiki. Sur certains sites, je ne dis pas, mais ici ça fait tâche. Alors quoi, faudra-t-il attendre sa mort pour espérer qu'une tête bien pensante soit à même de parler des travaux de JPP ? N'est-il pas préférable de laisser l'intéressé parler de lui même ? Très curieux comme attitude...

Commentaire

Je ne peux pas croire qu'un individu puissent etre banni à vie de Wikipedia ?! Je parle de Jean-Pierre Petit en particulier ou de n'importe qui en general. Y a t'il abus de pouvoir de quelques administrateurs de Wikipedia? De ce fait je ne ferai plus de donation. Je souhaiterai avoir une reponse claire et citoyenne. Merci

Proposition

Ne serait-il pas justifié d'accorder aux universitaires un statut d'administrateur pour les pages qui touchent à leur domaine(s) de compétence ?

Euh, administrateur n'est pas similaire de "membre du comité éditorial de WP". DarkoNeko 21:20, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Réponse

J'ignore si vous vous adressez à moi comme éditeur ou comme présidente de la Foundation. Si comme éditeur, je dois préciser que je n'ai pas plus d'autorité que n'importe lequel des participants à Wikipedia. Si comme présidente, je me permettrais de vous rappeler que la Foundation est hébergeur de Wikipédia, et non responsable de la politique éditoriale (aux mains de la communauté des éditeurs).

En tant qu'éditrice, je me permettrais de vous signaler

• qu'il n'existe pas de site ou d'organisation "Wikipedia France". fr.wikipedia.org est un project francophone. Wikimedia France est une organisation française d'utilisateurs;
• que contrairement à ce que vous pouvez penser, ce n'est pas parce que le site est ouvert, qu'il existe un DROIT à éditer Wikipedia. Nos politiques d'accès sont très claires sur ce point: un éditeur qui se comporte de façon associale ou abusive peut être exclu;
• la plupart (sinon toutes) des encyclopédies ne donnent pas un droit de regard à l'objet d'un article biographique; Wikipedia ne diffère pas de ces encyclopédies;
• enfin, notre projet dispose de ces propres règles de fonctionnement et propres options techniques: le status administrateur ne se gagne pas par ses diplomes, et n'est pas accessible par "domaine de compétence".

Cordialement

Florence

Demande de complément d'information

Florence, voici un extrait du log de l'irc wikipedia-fr

(Zgub) Tejgad: JPP est un demi-dingue entouré de pauvres gus qui le prennent pour un génie persécuté.

(Zgub) JPP ne convaincra que les déjà convaincus de son génie : les membres de sa secte. Les autres comprendront bien, rien qu'à son style qu'il est en plein délire paranoïaque et folie des grandeurs

Pensez vous que de tels propos constituent un gage de wikimédia-sociabilité ?

Merci de votre réponse

Certainement non. J'aimerais que les participants fassent preuve d'un peu plus de retenue et de diplomatie dans leurs propos. Cela étant, le fait même d'affirmer haut et bruyamment que le message que vous aviez laissé sur cette page a été scandaleusement effacé, de hurler immédiatement à la censure, et appeler vos amis à spammer mes pages personnelles... me semble être justement un signe de sentiment de persécution de votre part. L'historique de cette page montre que votre message n'a jamais été effacé par qui que ce soit. Bien loin de ne pas avoir vu ce message, j'y avais répondu avant même que vous ne me téléphoniez. En bref, la réalité est à 1000 lieux de ce que vous décrivez sur votre site.

J'ajouterais que vous êtes hébergeur d'un message à caractère diffamatoire me concernant ([3]) de la part d'une personne qui ne me connait pas et qui n'a jamais interagit avec moi, et qui se permet de me juger uniquement sur la foi de vos accusations infondées. Ce n'est pas très grave, mais ne me donne pas vraiment une très haute opinion des gens qui vous entourent. Désolée. Anthere 23:41, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Réponse à la réponse: Vous semblez croire que la demande de complément d'informations a été rédigée par JPP. Ce n'est absolument pas le cas. Je suis le rédacteur de la demande de médiation et de la demande de complément, et je pensais concourir à résoudre un conflit. Malheureusement, je me rends compte que j'ai fait chou blanc. C'est très dommage, car quoi que l'on en dise, il y avait du bon à prendre de part et d'autre. Il suffisait tout simplement d'effectuer la démarche d’analyser les causes du conflit. Dont acte.

Je pense que la situation rencontrée avec JPP se reproduira: Certains articles seront de nouveau censurés, si un ou deux de vos administrateurs y sont opposés pour des raison "Théologiques".

En ce qui concerne le soi disant effacement de commentaire, il se trouve qu'un internaute avait laissé un message tout en haut de votre page de discussion, ce qui me semblait mal approprié. Considérant (En raison de son contenu) qu'il faisait partie de l'affaire que j'avais abordée, j'ai simplement déplacé ce commentaire en bas de page, ce qui a dû provoquer la confusion que vous évoquez dans votre réponse, concernant l'affaire de "L'effacement scandaleux".

Pour finir, il se trouve que je visite assez fréquemment le site de JPP, je prends donc pour moi la "Pas vraiment haute opinion" que vous avez des lecteurs du site de JPP. Je pense que vous commettez là une erreur de jugement certaine, mais je comprends également que votre préférence aille à vos contributeurs, même si certains mènent de toute évidence une campagne de dénigrement à l'encontre de JPP.

Cordialement tout de même, et vous rappelant tout le respect que j'ai pour votre travail, ce que j'avais d'ailleurs indiqué dans l'introduction de ma demande. 05:19, 17 Juin 2008

Mademoiselle, Vous dite qu'il faut laisser cela au administrateur. Or, ils sont la source même du problème. Ils sont abusif dans leur gestion et pour devenir administrateur, j'ai crus comprendre qu'il faut être accepté par eux. On tombe donc sur un problème que seulement ceux qui sont du même avis que les administrateur peuvent se faire recruter. Ce système crée donc immanquablement une élite d'administrateur à pensé à peu près unique. Il est alors difficile de voir comment ceux-ci peuvent régler le problème dont ils sont la cause, faute de voies dissonante en leur sein. C'est pourquoi, il me semble,que nous sommes présentement en train de discuter de ce problème directement avec vous en sautant les intermédiaires. Nicolas Roger

non. D'une part parce que les administrateurs ne s'autoproclament pas, ni ne sont élus par les administrateurs déjà en place. Les administrateurs se voient donner des outils supplémentaires par vote de la totalité des contributeurs enregistrés (ayant au moins xx jours de présence et au moins yy édits). J'ajoute qu'un administrateur abusif peut se voir retirer l'accès administrateur (cela s'est déjà produit plusieurs fois). Donc, le problème que vous soulignez (co-optation) n'existe tout simplement pas. Je vous invite à lire les règles de nomination et vote des administrateurs. Je vous invite à consulter cette page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Administrateur pour mieux comprendre notre organisation. Anthere 23:41, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Point de droit

L'aspect anonyme des contributions à wikipedia peut s'admettre en tant que principe, se comprendre dans les contrées où les droits des personnes ne sont pas respectées et leur gouvernements, quel que soit leur forme, ont la main mise sur l'information.

Ce qui en revanche me semble poser problème, à moins que vous soyez à même de l'étayer solidement, est l'anonyma des administrateurs dans les pays où les droits des personnes sont respectés. En effet, ces administrateurs pour règler les différents quels que soient leur formes doivent être à même de juger un article ou une discussion sur un certain nombre de critères.

C'est la capacité à juger sur ces divers critères qui est en cause dans certain conflits qui on surgit ces derniers temps. En effet ces administrateurs se posent en juge. Mais il n'est pas possible étant donné leur anonyma d'évaluer la capacité de ces juges à juger.

Certains exemples récents ont fait tache d'huile et les internautes commencent déjà à se défier (même si le mot est fort) du contenu de Wikipedia tant certains jugements qui y ont été rendu se sont révélé partiaux mais aussi parceque les auteurs du jugements se sont révélé inapte à comprendre l'objet du litige ou le contenu et le fond des articles. Malheureusement ce problème fondamental ne se révèle qu'à l'occasion de crise et on se rend alors compte que l'anonyma des administrateur a engendré une forme larvé ou avéré de sensure impropre à la libre diffusion du savoir, qui reste la vocation de wikipedia.

En conclusion le principe d'anonyma des administrateur va à l'encontre du but majeur de wikipedia.

Je vous engage par conséquent à bannir l'anonyma des administrateurs abilités à juger des contenus de l'encyclopédie et au contraire à documenter précisément leur identité et crédits. On a jamais vu de juge rendre la justice caché sous un masque. Ou plutôt on l'a déjà vu et cette justice était tout sauf juste (c'est du moin mon avis).

Bien à vous et avec tout mon respect pour celles et ceux qui oeuvrent pour cette encyclopédie en ligne et ses principes fondateurs.

Franck Delaloy (qui est mon vrai nom et vous en dit plus que mon adresse IP)

Si vous êtes un scientifique qui publie dans les revues scientifiques de rang international, vous avez probablement eu l'opportunité de soumettre vos articles à une *review* avant acceptation. Habituellement, l'identité des reviewers vous ait cachée (elle est connue de l'éditeur de la revue, de même que l'identité de beaucoup de nos administrateurs m'est connue; mais elle reste inconnue de la personne ayant soumis un article à publication). Si vous êtes scientifique, vous êtes vous déjà vu refuser un article ? Si oui, avez vous estimé que ce refus était irrecevable en raison de l'anonymat du reviewer ? Avez vous exigé de connaitre le nom des reviewers ? Avez vous sommé l'éditeur de la revue de se défaire de ses reviewers parce qu'ils avaient refusé votre publication ?

Si vous ne voyez pas à quoi je fais référence, il est sans doute préférable de ne pas vous lancer dans des généralisations hatives sur l'anonymat et la validation de contenu.

Si vous êtes informaticien, je pense que vous n'ignorez pas les trésors qui peuvent être dévoilés avec une adresse IP, alors que n'importe qui pourrait signer avec votre nom réel. Les choses ne sont pas si simples. Anthere 00:05, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Une adresse IP se falsifie aussi facilement qu'un nom. Il y a une différence fondamentale entre WP et les reviewers, les reviewers sont et doivent avoir des connaissances dans la matière. Il devrait y avoir la même chose sur WP. Pole

Défense du projet Wiktionnaire

Bonjour,
Nous avons un problème de site miroir (dict.xmatiere.com) qui copie en instantané toutes nos pages d'articles du Wiktionnaire sans porter la mention de licence GNU mais il porte sa propre mention de copyright (2007 © dict.xmatiere.com), ce qui est un comble.(Un exemple avec le mot copieur [4]
Le réglement de ce litige ne ressort-il pas à la Wikimedia Foundation ?
On a eu une discussion sur la Wikidémie (notre page de discussion) mais on ne sait pas comment déboucher.(Voir le § 1.19 du Sommaire)
On a besoin de soutien et de conseil.
Merci pour ce que vous pourrez faire.

Bonjour,

Merci

Merci beaucoup pour les informations données qui sont très intéressantes.

Je te donne ici quelques nouvelles de cette affaire.

Quand je t’ai contactée, un message minimum avait était adressé au site aspirateur par l’administrateur Lmaltier.

Le propriétaire du site ne réagissant pas, nous avions envisagé d’adresser un message plus ferme proposé par l’administrateur Stephane8888 et c’est à ce moment-là que je m’étais permis de te contacter pour soutien et conseil.

Le propriétaire du site a désormais apporté une modification à ses pages en faisant figurer “SELON LE WIKTIONNAIRE”.

Sans doute a-t-il été informé de nos échanges et des risques de blocage qu’il encourait.

Je ne sais si cette mention est suffisante mais au moins elle est une reconnaissance pour les contributeurs toujours plus nombreux de Wiktionnaire.

Béotien lambda 15:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

J'ai du mal à dire.... quand je vais sur le site en question, les mots sont "non cliquables". Bizarre. Ils ont peut etre un problème technique ? Normallement, l'obligation est

• reconnaissance de la source (auteurs ou Wiktionnaire)
• indiquer la licence (GFDL)

Si cela indique toujours copyright dict.x, ils sont dans l'illégalité.

Anthere 08:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Juste pour te rendre compte que le propriétaire du site en question est intervenu sur la Wikidémie par le message suivant le 18 septembre (§ 1.19 du Sommaire) :

«Bonjour ! Je suis le propriétaire du site dict.xmatiere.com. En effet, j'ai reçu un mail (très court) de Lmaltier le 17 juin 2008, auquel j'ai répondu. J'ai alors en effet ajouté la mention "selon le Wiktionnaire". Aujourd'hui, je viens de prendre connaissance de cette page, et de la discussion que cela engendre. (Je n'ai jamais reçu la proposition de mail ci-dessus.) J'ai donc mentionné la source et mis un lien vers la licence GPL et vers la page d'accueil du Wiktionnaire français. Cela suffit-il ? Je ne maintiens pas très régulièrement ce site, j'y jette un coup d'oeil de temps en temps, notamment sur les stats, ce qui m'a permis de découvrir cette discussion. JLT, le 18 sept. 2008» -Béotien lambda 11:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

So long...

Bonjour Ant, tu souviendras-tu de moi? Je n'oublie et il y avait si longtemps que je n'étais passé. Je ne vais t'ennuyer longtemps. Quelques mots simplement. J'ai lu "mon" fr:Johann Sebastian Bach, j'y retrouve beaucoup de ce que j'y avais mis d'entrée et doit t'avouer que le résultat après tant d'années de contributions et contributeurs me satisfait assez, beaucoup même. Peut-être ai-je eu tort? Je ne sais. En bref, une bise. Pas mal ta page italienne, je l'aurais composée de la même manière...Mais te connaissant, je crois bien que tu n'en doutais.Merci Ant.

Bonjour (et pardon pour le dérangement), je suis un Wikipédien nouveau-né et j'ai (re)lancé un débat, sous l'intitulé “Déontologie” (désolé, je ne sais même pas faire fonctionner les liens), dans la “Salle café” du Wikinews francophone. J'ai suffisamment impatienté les administrateurs pour être aujourd'hui menacé d'exclusion définitive, ce qui me paraît excessif. Mais peu importe. Ce qui motive véritablement ce courrier, c'est mon inquiétude sur ce qu'est devenu ce Wikinews, bien loin me semble-t-il des attentes de ses initiateurs. La petite communauté qui fait vivre ce site est sans doute méritante, mais elle a à mon avis besoin de bien plus que de nouveaux rédacteurs. Cordialement, et dans l'espoir que vous pourrez intervenir... Trevras 11:38, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Demande de changement de statut pour mg.wiktionary

Bonjour,

Je suis Jagwar venant de la wiktionary malgache, je suis venu vous faire cette demande de statut d'admin, car l'unique sysop de mg.wiktionary semble avoir jeté l'éponge.

En effet, depuis 6 mois, ni sur la mg.WP ni sur mg.Wikt Hery n'a été actif

Le problème, c'est que c'est le seul utilisateur à pouvoir changer les edittools de MediaWiki.

En effet, j'ai demandé à un sysop de fr.wikt mais il ne pouvait le faire et m'a donc proposé de vous contacter pour demander un changement de statut.

Merci d'avance, Amicalement,

Jagwar 16:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Boarding

Thank you for the note! I am sure I will be verry sympathetic with you before that time is up.

I was just browsing old passionate mailing list threads. It seems to me being a board member is easier than it once was, in more ways than one. There may be more material to keep up with, but I can just read through a dozen of your long email considerations or Erik's meisterplans posted here or on f-l and find half of them as useful and valid as they ever were, and bear repeating. So the background noise of daily work can be "picking up pieces and conversations already started", not building from scratch.

And how are you?

Interview

Dear Anthere,

I am a researcher of ICT, who are studying Wikimedia local chapter now. I traced some discussions you involved about local chapter policies. Would you please accept my email interview? My email address is zeyi.he@googlemail.com. Thanks. Zeyi 15:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Traces

Hi, Anthere, what's this? An English {{abstract}} would be useful, or at least some category (I can't figure what to add), otherwise it's impossible to find this page and hence quite useless to keep it. :-) Moreover, one linked page has been deleted. Thank you, Nemo 16:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah. Hmmm, well, no big deal. It mostly was one of the place where we used to tracked user:papotages, a really really painful user. I moved it to my space, that's the easiest thing to do. Thanks Anthere

My page was blocked by User:Kylu

Hi Anthere, the last time, I asked you for help, was in a conflict in the german chapter five years ago. This conflict is still going on. Since that time (2005) nearly all german participants from a liberal tolerant democratic wing in the german chapter are thrown out by the same right authoritarian crowd, a group of admins in the german chapter, which I call the (edited out). The last days I set up a server, describing the worsest cases in the german chapter (edited out). Five years ago I went into exile to the french chapter, when the so called community (in fact Burschenschafter and their supporters) in germany tried five times to make a Scherbengericht to block my user account. At the end (after a vote frauded election) the Burschenschafter-crowd did not reach 2/3 of the votes, which the rules prescribed, but some overruled (Leon, Entlinkt) and nevertheless blockaded my account. In between user elian, perhaps you know, went into intern exile in the german chapter. Others, like Brummfuss, Widescreen, GLGerman, Simplicius, Lysis, RomanC, Soziallotse (†), Sonnenblumen, Jesusfreund, Carbidfisher, Hubertl, Historiograf, Liberaler Humanist (significant part of the names list are members of the so called Diderot-Club, a former french encyclopaedist) are under heavy attack by an intolerant right-wing crowd. The reason I write here is: my user page on meta was blocked by user Kylu (Kylu called it protection), because I complained on my page about the situation in the german chapter. I think, that my writings are covered by the target of meta user pages and is closely to Wikipedia's goals, as demanded here. What is your opinion about all that? Kind Regards, Thomas7 21:27, 2 September 2010 (UTC) PS: pardon for my bad english and please recognize, that the meanings of yockels and Bauerntölpel is a little different in both languages. Please look here too. —unsigned by Thomas7 on 22:16, 2 September 2010.

MeatBall:CommunityMember

I run into this message by you and I loved it, so I went to MeatBall:CommunityMember to copy something in it and I found that almost everything is already there. Did you add it? :-) --Nemo 10:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Lol. That's funny because I spent quite a lot of time on meatball wiki in the past few days, preparing a tough presentation. I have not yet found by the way what I was looking for (I remember an article about the life cycle of a wiki community), but then I started following a link, then another, and yet another.... and I forgot my original goal....

I have honestly NO memory if I copied that there. It might be there because I contributed a little bit to meatball wiki. Not much though, I dared not really do it. So I am not convinced I did. However, I see that Martin Harper commented on that page and Martin was an active member of the English Wikipedia at that time and we discussed together more than once. He may have added some of the stuff there, such as part of my original email. That's unfortunate there is no complete history on meatball wiki pages. I *know* I wrote some stuff there, but I do not really remember what. I also remember a long essay I also wrote at CommunityWiki, but ... where is it ? what was its title ? I do not remember.... it was about conflict I think.

On meatball wiki, they did not like me participating too much because they wanted people to be under their real name entirely, or IP only. And back in 2002-2003, I absolutely did not want my real name on the Internet. So, most of my contribs there were under IP per their request. Though I nevertheless created a page for me which was tolerated. See my page.

I love to know that some people are digging in the past :) Anthere

Actually, I think CliquesAndCommunities is part or most of what I actually wrote there. I recognise part of my personal bad English writing there :))) Anthere

Oh, yes, MeatBall is addicting! I had read your user page... it's a pity.

Life cycle? Perhaps MeatBall:WikiLifeCycle (with a bunch of links)? There's also MeatBall:CommunityRoles (I love both). Currently we have problems with the decreasing effects of MeatBall:MetcalfesLaw and the MeatBall:CommunityMayNotScale (community did not scale) on bigger projects, and viceversa the problem that some small wikis never benefited from the MetcalfesLaw; and there are always temptations of a MeatBall:GatedCommunity (FlaggedRevs?). --Nemo 19:06, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Nod. That was the WikiLifeCycle I was thinking of :) I realise some pages have changed quite a lot since those time I was frequent there. Such as the CommunityRoles page. Very good, I need to dig again from time to time :) Anthere

Merci:)

Local unblock

Hello!

Some days ago I've contacted User:Matanya about this global lock which unfortunately affected also the participation of user Vapmachado on Portuguese Wikibooks. On his reply, he said I could ask you to review the action. Before contacting you, I've asked other editors from Portuguese Wikibooks if they would be favorable to this block being removed on that project, so that the user could continue editing and participating of ptwikibooks both on content development (in a wikibook on Logistics) and discussions about the organization of the project. As you can check here (it is in Portuguese, but I think it can be understood using machine translation), other active users are also favorable to the unblock, so I would like to request if you could help us with this.

Have a nice weekend,

Is it allowed in Wikipedia?

To keep in the pages of wiki Administrator's personnel thesis? at http://sd.wikipedia.org ? Other problem is We call Computer as same in English, but admin forcibly used his word Ganpukar of Computer. I have proof that thousands of published books called it Computer not Ganpukar. If some one oppose him he started abusive language. That is the reason sd.wikipedia.org never got attraction to Sindhi community. Plz check record there. Other things are he locked CSS due to that on the same site there are lot of font styles appeared there. He is not able to set commonCSS or Monocss. We are in trouble to work in our local Sindhi language. I don't know where to say for this problem. Record history says all the situation there. I appeal plz warn him to follow en.wikipedia.org rules, other wise he will continue use his personnel details and personnel promoted articles there. Dear I am sorry If u r not right person to say all about this, Plz suggest me where I can raise this issue. My sd.wikipedia.org ID is same.

Notice of review of adminship

Hello Anthere. In accordance with Meta:Administrators/Removal and because you have made fewer than ten logged administrator actions over the past six months, your adminship is under review at Meta:Administrators/Removal/April 2014.

Role of Wikisource

Wikisource users still marvel at this 2008 post of yours, so I copied it on Meta. Thanks! --Nemo 10:59, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

The direction was right, but only WMIT and WMFR pursued it (e.g. the BNF partnership): we did what we could. 2013 was the year of awakening of WMF (only 5 years later) and we had a "Wikisource month", but we've not yet seen a true "Wikisource year", nor we answered the questions pointed out by Lars and on the strategy wiki.

I think that in many ways the 5 years after you stopped being chair of the WMF board has been the most wasteful period of the Wikimedia history. No idea what's next. --Nemo 07:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Problème avec suppression de documents malgré mails

Bonjour,

J'ai trouvé votre contact sur https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/OTRS/Personnel

Je me permets donc de vous écrire car je suis un nouveau contributeur sur Wikipedia (fetebeaupont). J'ai écrit un brouillon (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Fetebeaupont/Brouillon). Malheureusement, plusieurs de mes documents ont reçu une menace de suppression si je n'obtenais pas les autorisations. J'ai envoyé un premier mail le 8 décembre avec le courrier type à "permissions-commons-fr@wikimedia.org." Après une semaine sans réponse, j'ai relancé avec un deuxième mail le 14 décembre.

Surprise, ce mardi, wikimedia m'indique que mes fichiers ont été supprimés car ils n'ont pas reçu de mail d'autorisation !

Voici les 4 fichiers :

WLA Fashion and Adornments

Dear Florence,

I am seyi, currently working as a finance fellow under Garfield at the foundation. If you have not seen it, here is a link to the project I have been working on with the foundation for the past 8-9 months (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Chapter-wide_Financial_Trends_Report_2013) I attended your talk at Wikimania and was very excited about the opportunities currently available in Africa, I am Nigerian and I have been looking for a way to be actively involved in the movement from my region.

I would like to join the current WLA project as Africa and Fashion (being a designer myself) are of keen interest to me. I also have an addendum proposal for an IEG that I will like to discuss with you. How can I reach you privately to discuss this matter further. Thanks for your time :). —Seyi Olukoya 05:51, 31 July 2015 (PT)

How can we improve Wikimedia grants to support you better?

Hi! The Wikimedia Foundation would like your input on how we can reimagine Wikimedia Foundation grants to better support people and ideas in your Wikimedia project.

After reading the Reimagining WMF grants idea, we ask you to complete this survey to help us improve the idea and learn more about your experience. When you complete the survey, you can enter to win one of five Wikimedia globe sweatshirts!

In addition to taking the the survey, you are welcome to participate in these ways:

• Respond to questions on the discussion page of the idea.
• Join a small group conversation.
• Learn more about this consultation.

This survey is in English, but feedback on the discussion page is welcome in any language.

With thanks,

I JethroBT (WMF), Community Resources, Wikimedia Foundation.

Last call for WMF grants feedback!

Hi, this is a reminder that the consultation about Reimagining WMF grants is closing on 8 September (0:00 UTC). We encourage you to complete the survey now, if you haven't yet done so, so that we can include your ideas.

With thanks,

Did you ever attend Wikimania with your money? Talk to us!

TL;DR: Fill a short Wikimania survey, it takes 5 min.

Hi, I'm writing you because you are listed in Wikimania/Frequent attendees. As you probably know by now, Wikimania 2016 Esino Lario wants to achieve a Wikimania format which allows people to "get things done" and leave the conference fully satisfied with the result of their investment of time and other resources (see pillars 2 and 4: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Pillars ). For this purpose, we consider all audiences (see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Program#Target ).

Participants other than scholarship recipients and reimbursed representatives are one group we heard very little from, but we think they are important because: 1) they have financial resources and help make the Wikimania budget sustainable; 2) they have motivation to share and ideas on what makes Wikimania valuable.

We set up a form mainly to collect names of some such people and talk with them later: if you provide your contact, we may write you on this topic. We may release aggregate data from the resposes; data will be handled by us and the Wikimania 2016 fiscal sponsor "Ecomuseo delle Grigne" (under EU law). Please fill the whole form, it's short!

Feel free to forward this invite to anyone.

Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 31 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Could use your assistance, please

Anthere,

I saw your name on the Wikipedia Embassy list, hence this email. We have an issue concerning | Pierre Balanger on the BLP board. An editor has placed in highly questionable content about him in his article and sourced it to two online publications written in French. Althought Google translate does a fair job of translating, it would be better for a native French speaker to look at the article and verify that it says what the editor stated, second, to insure that the magazines (sources) themselves are not known as tabloid magazines as well. You expertise would be appreciated, just follow the link above for more details.

Thanks! Necromancer Wekeepwhatwekill 16:55, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!

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,

Wikipedia Primary School

Where is the best place to discuss Wikipedia Primary School? I don't see any page at English so is it just at meta? I still can't figure out what the project is intending to do. It has identified a number of key basic articles that seem to be part of any primary school curriculum but I don't know if the goal is then take the primary schoolbook material into those articles (hence the expertise I presume) or use the articles for the material or what. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:06, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

African images

Hi. I honestly think there was a misunderstanding on the contest proposal page Anthere and Rosie is the type who would greatly support and approve of what has been achieved to date. Belting was not intentional I'm certain, so let's move on from that.

All right.

Anyway, on the images, Agree completely on this, We badly need to increase African editors and images created within Africa. A few years back I proposed that Wikimedia supports a globalized https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geograph_Britain_and_Ireland which would allow people to photograph their own village etc and photograph the entire planet geographically. I believe at one point Geograph were planning on merging with us It has been extremely productive for British villages and landmarks. If you would like to see this made global and people in Africa encouraged to photograph their communities let me know. You seem like you'd have good contacts as a former chair of the Board of Trustees, so can we try to garner support for a global photographing project which would benefit Africa too?

I think what you describe already exist. It is https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa. Why would not you join to help ?

Honestly, I think that your desire to do things is great. But you have not taken the time to simply explore what is currently done. By chapters, by UserGroups, by regular wikipedias. You did not explore the context so it is not surprising that you bruise your peers on the way.

That doesn't try to photograph every grid square does it? Dr. Blofeld (talk) 07:29, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

As for increasing African participation, I think if we could find more funds injected into Africa we could potentially run a scheme in which we help out African students with university grants in return for writing for wikipedia. One big prize to perhaps pay for course fees for a year or something might work. I know Jimbo said a month or two back he'd support $1 million of WM funds going into African education. Anyway, I understand your doubts and dislikes, but please work with me on this as we can really start to change this with the right funding and contacts. If you were involved in the Wiki women drive, I'd like to thankyou, Merci!Dr. Blofeld (talk) 10:36, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. Just for the record, Jimbo is Jimbo and what he says does not always come true. I am not very excited at the prospect of paying people to edit, as it comes along a whole bunch of issues. The role of WMF is not to support African education, it is to preserve our global asset, facilitate its growth, facilitate its reuse and lead the way on a bright and probably disrupting future. I'd rather WMF spend a few millions on disrupting technology that would make us climb next step than spending it paying course fees of Africans in exchange of new articles. I am not very excited either with the idea of a big monetary price for a contest. We want people to get excited and feel good about writing. The first goal should be to enjoy being together. I am a bit perplex as well as to how to give a big prize to an author of an article when our whole concept is carved upon collaboration and multiple people writing the article together.

You've got the wrong idea on the prize winning, see this for example. The funding would be split into smaller prizes, which any contributor could reasonably win on any one day by destubbing/improiving the most articles. It gives everybody a chance to win, so the idea that just one editor would get $1500 and the rest nothing isn't true. And that's the very reason I created this 10,000 series, I know what motivates people to produce and get excited about contributing, as I agree that's really what we want to achieve!Dr. Blofeld (talk) 07:42, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

However, to be on a positive note, here is a proposal to you. Reuse percentage of images following photo contests (Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth) are often quite low. Either because the article where the image would fit does not exist at all, or because no-one has given energy to try to "link" current articles with relevant images on Commons. Can you imagine a mean to change that ? Why not a challenge with a goal to "categorise properly and integrate pictures obtained from African photo contests into great articles about Africa", based on the pictures collected by the three main photo contests running in Africa (Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Africa and Wiki Loves Earth). Does that raise your interest ? Anthere (talk)

@user:Dr. Blofeld, @ User:Mjohnson (WMF)

Yes I agree, of course, it is not WM'S goal to pay people to edit or be involved with African education. But I do think we need an incentive to bring in hundreds of new editors and find something which will motivate people to produce content. Substantial prizes do work I think, but we do have to be careful to avoid the "paid editing" stigma. I think for this we'd split the finding into smaller prizes anyway. I do think long term we need to contact educational institutions, particularly language schools and see more translating being done to benefit the African wikis. I think the Wiki Loves Africa is a great scheme, and I apologize if I haven't been fully update on recent developments. If there is a problem with categorization in the commons, and work badly needed for that, sure, why not propose a contest to get those photos categorized?

My approach to this really doesn't mean I'm trying to "save" the situation or am trying belittle the work alreayd done to date. I'm not American either ;-) BTW, if you're concerned that I'm invading turf or trying to belittle the efforts you and Isla have achieved to date I've left this message. You have experience lecturing in Africa I believe. You, Isla and anybody else is welcome to take the responsibility for running these regional African contests and the 10,000 drive for Africa. I would show you the points system and how the British ones work and then they can be run. I think we really need more funding going into development on these as Africa overall is really one of the weakest areas of the project, and we need something which is going to cover the entire continent.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 07:12, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Take a look at what has been achieved with the British one [7]. The majority of the content from that was produced from just two regional contests for Wales and The West Country. We've got nearly 100 Good articles out of it too and hundreds of core articles improved which would likely have never been improved otherwise. In total about 1800 articles now including stubs in just a few months. The same mechanism with prizes would be applied to Africa with five regional contests and to fuel reaching the 10,000 goal. I can see that you have the tendency to see the negative aspects on things first, but there's nothing negative about what has been achieved with the UK in just a few months, and it should be scaled to other countries like France, Germany and Italy and Africa too. Obviously eventually we hope there are enough contributors to sustain national drives for countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt etc, but we have to start from somewhere. It really motivates people to produce content they might otherwise not produce. One of the hardest things to do on wikipedia is to motivate people to cleanup and develop poor stubs and bloated articles. The points system and prizes directly provides a mechanism for that, and I think it's what we need for developing a lot of the poorer articles we have across the African continent. Dr. Blofeld (talk) 07:24, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I've withdrawn my Africa proposal. If you're still interested in this and you and Isla might be able to run them we can repropose it later but I've not been impressed with the hostility I've faced in trying to help here.Dr. Blofeld (talk) 15:33, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

user:Dr. Blofeld Gosh, I have not been there for 24 hours. Looks like stuff happened in the meanwhile, but I have no idea what... weird. Well... I had a long and tough day and must get up very early tomorrow. Will answer and comment tomorrow. Anthere (talk)

Check your main wikipedia user talk page, I'm thinking of a general destubbing one instead, and I'd like you and Isla to hold my hand as I launch it.;-) You're invited to be a lead coordinator of it, and you can even get French wiki in on it too if you like. Seriously though, I do respect what you've achieved to date, and I want your full support on this, and no negative comments!Dr. Blofeld (talk) 07:12, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

I've sent you an email from wikipedia!Dr. Blofeld (talk) 07:16, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok; I thank you deeply for this User:Dr. Blofeld. I appreciate and accept the apology.

For the email... I actually see the notification and the first few words of the message in the notification system on the English Wikipedia... but no email in my mail box. I have noticed several times that the email system actually often does not work, so it does not really surprise me at all (several times, I sent email to users who told me they got nothing). If you have a copy of this email, please sent it again at fdevouard ##@#@ anthere.org Thanks. I am leaving home in a few hours and will be away for 3 days for family issues. Do not take it personally if I do not answer. Anthere (talk)

Bonjour Flo, Bonne année pleine de joie et de belle surprises, j'ai deux questions : 1: Pour la notice en arabe / fr destinée à l'Algérie a qui je m'adresse ? 2: Pour les 2 plug wikifundi qui va les apporter a Accra ?

Pour la première question... User:Seddon (WMF)

Pour la seconde... c'est moi. Bon par contre... j'ai réalisé que chaque bête pesait tout de même son petit poids. Donc je pense que je vais venir avec une boite par groupe et j'enverrais la seconde par la poste... A voir.
En revanche, je viens de vérifier le formulaire et... tu n'as pas fait de demande !!! c'est par là. J'en ai encore donc c'est pas forcément un problème, mais si tu ne demandes pas, tu n'auras rien ;) Anthere (talk) 17:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Re:

Hi Anthere, sorry but you message, along with many others, got buried under a pile of messages/notifications. Crosswiki notifications overwhelmed my ability to dispatch them! As a general principle I block colocation facilities with low probability to be exitpoints of legit users plus hosting spammers/open proxies. This might bring to side effects which could be mitigated in various ways: softening the block, assigning GIPBE to users or whitelisting ranges locally. Having one of these ranges unblocked on a major wiki is not a big issue since they can self manage possible side effects.--Vituzzu (talk) 01:04, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

Some old presentations

Hi Florence, quick thing regarding some old powerpoint presentations of yours. Right now, I've got 3 old powerpoint presentations that are being hosted via the Foundation website ([8] [9] [10]). They aren't a problem, per se, but I'm trying to clean up our various domain document roots and standardize them (so one-off files like these are trying to be removed). I'm wanting to delete them, but wanted to check with you first. I can wait a bit too, to give you a chance to save them (could maybe convert to PDF and upload to Commons for the historical value?). Thanks! ^demon (talk) 18:38, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

ok user:^demon. I downloaded them and reuploaded the Wikimania presentation on Commons [11] for archive. Thanks. Anthere (talk) 15:39, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.

This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.

The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.

Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.

Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:

• Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016)
  • Introduction to process and information about budget spending resolution to support it
• Update 2 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (23 December 2016)
  • Start of search for Lead Architect for movement strategy process
• Update 3 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (8 January 2017)
  • Plans for strategy sessions at upcoming Wikimedia Conference 2017
• Update 4 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (11 January 2017)
  • Introduction of williamsworks
• Update 5 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (2 February 2017)
  • The core movement strategy team, team tracks being developed, introduction of the Community Process Steering Committee, discussions at WikiIndaba conference 2017 and the Wikimedia movement affiliates executive directors gathering in Switzerland
• Update 6 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (10 February 2017)
  • Tracks A & B process prototypes and providing feedback, updates on development of all four Tracks

More information about the movement strategy is available on the Meta-Wiki 2017 Wikimedia movement strategy portal.

Africa and the strategy process

Hi! You've expressed your interest in taking a role of a Discussion Coordinator for WikiAfrica, both track A and B. I'm a Meta Coordinator and my task is to carry invitations out to all on-wiki communities. I have a question: which communities (languages) collaborate under the "umbrella" of WikiAfrica, besides French and Arabic? Are there any active wikis (in African languages) that aren't affected? SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 15:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Our (Meta Coordinators') task is to ensure that all track B stakeholders are notified, which means unaffiliated users of not-the-biggest wikis, not skilled in the languages covered by the Language Specialist Coordinators. I need to contact directly to the most active of them. I asked you, because you are active in the Africa-related Wikimedian topics. For example, I'm looking for someone who knows someone active from Swahili or Afrikaans or Amharic projects. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

No, I (or we) don't. Practically, every coordinator uses her/his own words. For example, look what Samuel wrote on the French Bistro: the first and the second announcement. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 18:21, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Oh, I forgot to mention that we use this link instead of - in the case of my French example - that one. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 18:27, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)

This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes

Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:

Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.

There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:

Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).

Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.

This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?

We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.

• Find out more about the movement strategy process
• Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator

Sincerely,

Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams

Inspire Campaign survey on outreach to outside knowledge networks

Thanks for your participation during the Inspire Campaign focused on outreach to outside knowledge networks from February 2017. I'm interested in hearing your experience during the campaign, so if you're able, I invite you to complete this brief survey to describe how you contributed to the campaign and how you felt about participating. I want to improve how campaigns are run, so let me know if there's something that could be done better for next time.

Please feel free to let me know on my talk page if you have any questions about the campaign or the survey. Thanks! I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 18:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

about wiki loves africa problem (photo 28)

Hi anthere! i'm Taher the guy who has most votes (photo 28) on wiki loves africa. first of all i really appreciate that you accepted my photo as one of the bests in the contest!

Second, My friend said that he only created those accounts to vote for me, he thought it would help me so he did it without informing me, plus he didn't know it was against WLA rules, so i don't think i can be responsible for this because anybody could've done it without informing me, note that when he informed me about this i just deleted the votes he added with those fake accounts. and here's his contact so he can admit you personally that he is the one that created them and it's not me that i created them. full name : Pedro Pinto facebook : https://www.facebook.com/pedro.pinto.9828 and number : +351 927764114

third, i just shared the link of contest to a couple of friends informing them about it and i said to some of them ' if u like my photo, i'd appreciate if you vote for it ' so i'm not forcing them, just suggesting for some friends ( like 6 friends or something ) - I saw many of people in contest doing this publicly in facebook and porbably all of them did it privately (so i'm not the only one and it seemed okay for everybody).

Why are you blaming me only for this? it's obvious that almost everyone in this contest shared link with their friends to vote for them.

and i only did this because it's logically acceptable (i'm not forcing them to vote for me) and because it's not against the contest's rules to inform your friends about the contest.

I hope you understand well that i warned my friend not to create any fake profiles again to vote for me, and i stopped informing my friends about the contest.

thank you for your time.

Join the next cycle of Wikimedia movement strategy discussions (underway until June 12)

Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.

You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.

Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:

• Healthy, Inclusive Communities
• The Augmented Age
• A Truly Global Movement
• The Most Respected Source of Knowledge
• Engaging in the Knowledge Ecosystem

On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

Bonjour! You may remember me from the English Wikipedia offline releases, and we were also stuck at Gdansk airport together after Wikimania 2010. I see you have been working with Wikifundi recently, so you may be interested in an "offline hackathon" we're planning for August 13-18, right after Wikimania. It's being held just across the border in Potsdam, New York, at the college where I teach. We have Emmanuel Engelhart and the Kiwix team coming, as well as many implementation people from Internet-in-a-box, KA Lite, WikiMed, etc., so it will be a combination of coding, coordinating and planning. There are rooms available in student housing, for US$25 per person per night (shared) or US$40 (unshared), though rooms have to be reserved soon. We can also arrange transport from/to Montreal if we get to know by the end of the month. If you'd like to attend, please let me know! Cordialement, Walkerma (talk) 06:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi user:Walkerma. Sure, I do remember you. Well, that would be awesome indeed to take that opportunity. I must check family-wise if that's possible to extend my leave and I must check with WMF with regards to Wikimania travel. Let me collect info. What is the latest deadline you need to respect to confirm room reservation ? Thanks !!! Anthere (talk)

That's excellent! The "hard" deadline for dorm rooms (from the college) is June 30th, but we're asking people to let us know by mid-June if possible, as I will be processing all the dorm rooms, and they may fill up. We can also make other arrangements if the dorms do fill up; there's a hotel about 1 km away, for example. Let me know if you can make it. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 14:28, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Précision sur le vote des points à ajouter à l'ODJ de septembre 2017

Bonjour,

le commentaire que tu as ajouté avec ton vote risque d'être mal interprété : c'est en tout cas ce qui ressort de cet échange.

Est-ce que j'ai bien compris que tu étais pour que les 10 points soient ajoutés à l'ODJ, malgré les réserves sur les formulations?

Le mieux serait à mon avis d'enlever le commentaire, et de le partager sur la liste.

Merci d'avance !
