Can you update the links on this page?

Can you update the links here? Wikimedia Legal Disclaimer. I found you in the file history.

While you are there, can you make sure it is up-to-date?

Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 17:47, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

UCOC?

Hi Maggie Dennis, I have tried for months to find out where one could file a complaint, point out some processes with which one does not agree with, (Per conflict is inevitable, combat is not) and well, no chance, I believe not even replies, at least not at the [[Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/FAQ#Where the ***##[][#Ç∑[|]®]°†≠ui43zqpzq can I file a case?|UCOC/FAQ]]. I suggest that an archive of past cases and discussions should be posted to the UCOC/FAQ and someone involved in the UCOC puts the UCOC/FAQ on their watchlist.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 04:10, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Paradise Chronicle. I am sorry it was not easy for you to find how and where to file a complaint. I hope you have found the resources you needed, but I’ll respond here in case anyone else is wondering. While the Universal Code of Conduct aims to document minimum standards of acceptable behavior and the essential guidelines by which the violations will be handled, it does not standardize the way in which community concerns are filed. The U4C will be a future body to look at UCoC violations where community processes are not in place - the draft charter for that committee is under review right now, and hopefully that committee will have elections soon and be in place to hear concerns. If your concern is regarding another community, you might check with a steward or administrator on that project and they can direct you to the appropriate resource.

I also want to acknowledge that I hear your concern regarding the difficulty people encounter with filing complaints on-wiki. Best regards, Patrick Earley (WMF) (talk) 15:51, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, sigh. So actually the UCOC is not ready yet to receive concerns. Thats ok, I can wait. Then it also makes sense that then there is no place where to place concerns. Maybe it would be good to mention that somewhere, likely at a prominent place of the FAQ or the enforcement guidelinces of the UCOC. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 18:26, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Human Rights Team/Impact of the war in Gaza and Israel

Hello Maggie, did you see what I wrote four days ago on the page Talk:Human Rights Team/Impact of the war in Gaza and Israel? I tagged you. To make it easier for me, I am copying here what I wrote there.

User:Crocodile2020

User:Crocodile2020 is a Wikipedia editor and a resident of Ein HaBesor in Israel who was attacked by Hamas on October 7, 2023. He is an elderly man who hid in the shelter. The residents of in HaBesor were lucky, because they had a large standby squad of 76 people, and they managed to repel the murderous attacks of Hamas. Even now Ein HaBesor is emptied of residents because of the proximity to the Gaza Strip and the perceived danger to their lives. On Friday January 19, 2024 we had a winter meeting of the Wikipedians at the Hebrew Wikipedia. User:Crocodile2020 told us his story. Did any of you contact him and ask how he can be helped? When you are busy with the Internet problems in the Gaza Strip, 130,000 people have been displaced from their homes in Israel. Not to mention all the murdered. You can read about the battle of Ein HaBesor in the Hebrew Wikipedia in the article קרב עין הבשור Hanay (talk) 03:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

How do you feel about this map?
