Wikimedia CEE Spring 2015 2nd meeting

Dear Beko,

I am contacting You as a contact person of Armenia for the Wikimedia CEE Spring 2015 event and to announce that the second meeting for the Wikimedia CEE Spring organisation team will take place on the 28th of January 2015. There will be 2 discussion groups for the meeting, as to get as much people involved (some of us have other engagements during the daytime and others are not available during the evenings).

The first group will start the discussion 12:00 CET (13:00 EET, 14:00 MSK, 15:00 AMT/AZT, 17:00 ALMT, 3:00 PST).

The second group will start the discussion 18:00 CET (19:00 EET, 20:00 MSK, 21:00 AMT/AZT, 23:00 ALMT, 9:00 PST).

During the discussion both Skype call and IRC will be used. For more details see event meetings page! Wikimedia Eesti will be responsible for moderating the groups, however all contributions to the etherpad protocol are more than welcome!

Thank you for your kind attention and CEE you soon! --Kaarel Vaidla (WM EE) (talk) 12:11, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Question regarding a block on hywiki

Dear Beko, in several discussions I noticed that user:Cekli829 is blocked on hywiki. I have been reading up on this block, and would like to know your opinion. I am simply speaking for myself, and not on behalf of anyone. If this user promises not to do anything controversial/political in the future on hywiki, would an unblock be possible? Let me know. If not, could you please elaborate if there are any issues I might not be aware of. Thank you for your time. All the best, Taketa (talk) 10:17, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Taketa, thank you for your question․ I express my opinion on this occasion each year when this user becomes a candidate for a steward. This question is not political, as it shows Cekli829. He is mistaken, swearing Armenians on his page isn't a political reason. --Beko (talk) 13:51, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. I understand this is a recurring topic. However I would still like to ask you to consider giving him a second chance and deblocking. If he does not do anything to harm hy.wiki in the future it should work fine, and this block is a bother to Cekli829 and yourself each year. I think you can protect hy.wiki without this block. The block can always be reinstated if needed. Let me know if you think an unblock is possible. All the best, Taketa (talk) 14:08, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

If he is currently not swearing Armenians please unblock him. Otherwise please show me a latest revision that includes something offensive to Armenians.--GZWDer (talk) 02:00, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Please consider to review again and again

Because, I'm afraid, your block will mislead some others (e.g. therefore Whym can block me because of the de facto w:China–Japan relations). --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 04:44, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

I opened discussion in hy.wikipedia village pump, I'll wait community what to think about it and his position. --Beko (talk) 13:30, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

A community review is fair. I will follow how it goes. I see it is heading in a certain direction at the moment. Either way I will respect the communities decision and leave it at that. All the best, Taketa (talk) 16:39, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

@Beko and Taketa: In Village pump, It seems several hy-n users want to boycott Cekli829 because of they think he would start his protest across all Wikimedia wikis if he were a steward (base on Google translate of Vadgt's comment). I guess this is because of their strong hatred towards Azerbaijani people.--GZWDer (talk) 03:00, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

GZWDer, before you misjudge and ascribe hate to users who are even considering discussing unblocking a user who was blocked because of vandalism and his anti-Armenian nationalistic attitude, please take a look at this tip of the iceberg, which was displayed on Cekli829's user page and used to contain a flag of Armenia with a cross over it as well. Google translate will help you clarify where the actual hate is coming from. Chaojoker (talk) 09:31, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

@Chaojoker: This is an old version and is currently not displayed on Cekli829's user page. Please note en:Wikipedia:Blocking_policy#Blocks_should_not_be_punitive, Blocks should not be used in retaliation against users or where there is no current conduct issue of concern. If the issue resolved (ie the anti-Armenian flag removed) please unblock Cekli829.--GZWDer (talk) 10:41, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Dear Liuxinyu970226, it is not the block of him which misleads people, it is his yearly misrepresentation of real reasons and circumstances of the indef block, which as I unfortunately see intentionally misleads some part of global community into thinking block was political. --Xelgen (talk) 03:58, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

@Xelgen: In Cekli829's view, the block is because of political problem between Armenia and Azerbaijan; but the real reason of block, according to you and Beko, is that he put some anti-Armenian flag and statement in his user page, which has been removed. As those anti-Armenian content was removed, I don't think the (probably punitive) block is still needed. Please read en:Wikipedia:Standard offer, users should be unblocked if there're no block evasion in 6 months and they promise to avoid the behavior that led to the block (which is what Taketa said at the very beginning).--GZWDer (talk) 06:15, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

As I've mentioned @Whym: without an investigation, my apologies for u Xelgen. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:06, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

---

@Beko, Xelgen, and Chaojoker: Has hywiki community reached a consensus for unblocking Cekli829 under no circumstances whatsoever? If not, please explain in what situations will he be unblocked. There're no new comment to the post in village pump after Vadgt's comment.--GZWDer (talk) 10:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

@GZWDer: sorry, we're busy with some drama, I'll get back to you in few days. --Xelgen (talk) 00:33, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

CEE Spring 2016 - prizes

Hi!

I’m writing to you on behalf of Wikimedia Poland to inform you about the reimbursement process regarding CEE Spring 2016.

According to the international rules:

• step 1 Local organizers buy the prizes themselves with their own money and acquire an invoice issued to Wikimedia Polska (Stowarzyszenie Wikimedia Polska ul. Tuwima 95, pok. 15 90-031 Łódź Polska)
• step 2 local organizers send scan of the invoice to one of the international organizers (natalia.szafran@wikimedia.pl or nikola.kalchev@gmail.com) along with a protocol of the process of selection of winners and with a calculation of overall costs. The protocol must include actual names of the winners (the names will not be made public, they will be kept only in documents of Wikimedia Polska). The e-mail should also include data needed to make a bank transfer (bank account number and name of the account owner)
• step 3 Wikimedia Poland will reimburse the money within two weeks after receiving all the documents needed

This way of buying the prizes is strongly advised. In case it is impossible the prizes can be bought by Wikimedia Polska from the suggested online shop. In this case you need to send to one of the international organizers (natalia.szafran@wikimedia.pl or nikola.kalchev@gmail.com) an email with links to the prizes in an online shop, a protocol of the proces of selection of winners (containing their actual names and usernames). After the purchase is done Wikimedia Polska needs to get an email containing some kind of proof that the prizes have reached the winners (postage waybill scan for instance or a scan of a declartion that the prize has been handed over, the declaration must be signed by the winner).

Please keep in mind that whenever possible local coordinators should buy the prizes themselves. Wikimedia Polska will buy them only in those cases when it is absolutely necessary. All documents must be sent to Wikimedia Poland by the end of June.

Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us. Me and Nikola will be happy to guide you through the process and make it as easy as possible. And thank you for being a part of CEE Spring and organizing this awesome project in your community. Magalia (talk) 21:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Խնդրանք

Ողջույն հարգելի Բեկո, ինչպես եք? Խնդրում եմ, որպես իմ քննարկման էջին հետևող ադմին, իմ ՀՎՊ մասնակցային քննարկման էջը խմբագրելու ֆունկցիոնալ հնարավորությունը վերականգնեք, ժամանակին դա Վացիոն էր անջատել, սակայն իր որոշումը չեղարկելուց հետո չէր վերականգնել։ Դա անհրաժեշտ է, որ կարողանամ ՀՎՊ մասնակիցների հետ շփվել, նաև հոդվածներում սխալներ գտնելու դեպքում տեղեկացնել։ Ես ՎՀ մեյլին եմ նամակ գրել և ադմիններից միակողմանի ներողություն և հաշտություն եմ խնդրել։ Այս ամենը իմ առողջության վրա վատ է ազդում, խնդրում եմ գոնե մարդասիրական մղումներով պայմանավորված ինձ մի քիչ աջակցեք...Ես դեռ ՀՎՊ-ին շատ կարող եմ օգնել։ Արեք նոր տարին և վիքիծնունդը դիմավորենք առանց կոնֆլիկտների...--Hayordi (talk) 13:16, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Հարգելի Beko, ՀՎՊ իմ քննարկման էջում Ձեզ նամակ եմ գրել, խնդրում եմ արձագանքեք։--Hayordi (talk) 14:15, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Ողջույն, հարգելի Beko, կներեք, որ նորից Ձեզ անհանգստացնում եմ։ Այսօր ադմինների տեղեկատախտակում բացված քննարկման 7-րդ օրն է։ Սկզբունքորեն դեմ արտահայտվողներ չեղան, որ իմ բլոկը կրճատվի մինչև հունվարի մեկը։ Որքանով հասկացա Հայկը ընդունեց իմ ներողությունը և հաշտության առաջարկը, իսկ Աշոտը կողմ արտահայտվեց։ Խնդրում եմ, եթե հնարավոր է, ամփոփեք քննարկումը։ Ես իմ քննարկման էջում արդեն 3 հոդված եմ ստեղծել, որոնք մասնակիցները տեղափոխել են հիմնական անվանատարածք, ինչպես նաև ընտրյալ ցանկի և այլ հոդվածների բարելավման առաջարկներ եմ կատարել։---Hayordi (talk) 10:19, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Հարգելի Beko ջան ես արդեն քանի օր է շատ լարված վիճակում հետևում եմ քննարկումներին։ Երեկ մեկ մասնակից էլ ասեց, որ դեմ չի։ Շատ եմ խնդրում կրճատեք իմ բլոկի ժամկետը մինչև հունվարի մեկը։ Ես ինքս ևս մեկ անգամ խոստանում եմ խստորեն հետևել վիքիէթիկետի և վարքագծի կանոններին, զերծ մնալ կոնֆլիկտային իրավիճակներ ստեղծելուց։ Նաև անձամբ Ձեզ եմ խոստանում այնպիսի քայլ չեմ անի, որ Դուք փոշմանեք Ձեր քայլից։ Եվս մեկ անգամ խնդրում եմ վերջակետ դրեք այս երկամյա կոնֆլիկտային պատմությանը և վերաարգելափակեք մինչև այս հունվարի մեկը։ Կանխավ շնորհակալություն։---Hayordi (talk) 13:18, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Հարգելի Beko, Դուք կարդացել եք իմ նամակը? Խնդրում եմ արձագանքեք, ես Ձեր պատասխանին եմ անհամբեր սպասում...----Hayordi (talk) 16:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Կարդացել եմ իհարկե, խորհրդարանում էլ գրել եմ, որ կարծիքներ արտահայտեն ու ամփոփենք։ Հարցն այնպիսին է, որ չեմ ուզում, որ որևէ մեկը հետո ասի թե հանրային կարծիքը հաշվի չենք առել։ Բոլոր դեպքերում, ըստ խնդրանքի՝ արգելաբացումը ուժի մեջ է մտնելու հունվարի 1-ից, այնպես որ անհանգստանալու և շտապելու տեղ չկա։Beko (talk) 18:20, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

• Բարև հարգելի Beko ջան։ Շնորհավորում եմ գալիք Ամանորը և բոլորիս ցանկանում եմ լավ և հաջողակ տարի։ Խնդրում եմ, եթե հնարավոր է մինչև դեկտեմբերի 31-ի գիշերվա 12-ը բլոկը հանեք, որ այս հարցը չտեղափոխվի 2017 թվական։ Կանխավ շնորհակալ եմ։--Hayordi (talk) 18:56, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

WMCON: Invitation to lead partnerships related sessions with the Wikimedia Foundation

Hi,

The Partnerships and Global Reach team from the Wikimedia Foundation will be hosting few sessions during Wikimedia Conference 2017 in Berlin.

Session 1: Increasing awareness of Wikipedia: How to forge strategic partnerships to achieve this goal?

Session 2: Partnerships Clinic: Warning signs and how to deal with them

Session 3: Sharing talks: Awareness / Reading

We'd like to invite you to join us in planning, leading and participating in any or all of these sessions. It would be great to have a diverse set of experiences and insights as we guide the audience to the goal of the session. Particularly, we want the session participants to have the following outcomes:

They walk away with concrete ideas on how they can raise awareness in their country through partnerships and how they can find such partners. They will recognize when a partnership is in trouble, learn how to address it during program design, and be aware of exit strategies to deal with such situations. They will have good examples and motivation to replicate success stories in their local contexts.

Would you like to join us? We will be happy to chat with you anytime this week to quickly coordinate how we can be working together. Please let us know as soon as possible. Let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me at rayyakkannuwikimedia.org

Thanks, Ravishankar Ayyakkannu, Manager, Strategic Partnerships, Asia, Wikimedia Foundation. --22:30, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

[Wikipedia & Education User Group] Updates: November 2018

Greetings,

Integrating Wikimedia with education is a powerful strategy for the outreach of Wikimedia projects. Realising this concept, a group of leaders promoted this and formed the Wikipedia Education Collaborative. After some time, this evolved to become a user group, officially recognised by the Affiliations Committee in June 2018. The user group had its first board elections earlier in September. In the process to formalise activities and give a shape the user group for long-term sustainability, we are now revamping our processes. Thanks for supporting us during incubation stages, we are now inviting you to formally join the user group by following the instructions on the members' page. Being a member will allow you to be a part of this wonderful collaboration and also do interesting stuff.

Kind regards
