Wikisource User Group

edit

Hi,

Thanks a lot for getting back to me.

  • French is the only language I know well enough to translate something into it, but I see that the French translation has already been done by Vigneron... However, I have a comment to make about the invitation text : "To get the best results out of these projects, we would like your comments on the same." I don't understand this sentence. In particular, I don't understand what "on the same" refers to... Maybe there is something to be fixed here, before sending the invitation out?
  • The list of Wikisourceros that you were planning to send the invitation to seems quite comprehensive to me, and I cannot think of anyone to be added, at least from the French community
  • I will probably have some comments to make about the WsUG page, I will do so on the Talk page.

Hi, Micru. :) That's a beautiful design. So that it can be considered in the final vote, if it is selected, can you please ask your friend to write to liaison wikimedia.org to confirm that he is the author of the design and to acknowledge his acceptance of the policies set out at Logo_selection_procedure#Logo_submission_rules? If so, I will be happy to pass that on to the lawyers. :) If you have any questions, please let me know!

Hola Micru!! He visto lo del grupo de usuarios de Wikisource, y si no me he unido es por el idioma. Si bien puedo leer inglés, me lleva mucho tiempo entender los debates y/o comentarios.

Help test better mass message delivery

edit

Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used global message delivery (or its English Wikipedia counterpart). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)

For the past few months, Legoktm has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called MassMessage. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)

You can test out MassMessage here: testwiki:Special:MassMessage. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new {{#target:}} parser function. For example, {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}} or {{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}. For detailed instructions, check out mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage.

If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at m:Talk:MassMessage. Thanks for spamming! --MZMcBride (talk) 05:25, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Beginning of MassMessage, end of EdwardsBot

Hi. You're being contacted as you're listed as an EdwardsBot user.

With over 400,000 edits to Wikimedia wikis, EdwardsBot has served us well; however EdwardsBot will no longer perform local or global message delivery after December 31, 2013.

A huge thanks to Legoktm, Reedy, Aaron Schulz and everyone else who helped to get MassMessage deployed. --MZMcBride (talk) 02:36, 22 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Open Datasets / Wikimania

edit

Hi Micru, I'm producing an article about Wikimedia's relationship to data that I will use as part of the material to promote Wikimania this year. Would you be interested in contributing to it, basically summarising the context, purpose and possible outcomes of this discussion: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/How_to_deal_with_open_datasets

You can find the article here: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page/Open_Data. Currently it only talks about wikidata, but I think the relationship between wikidata semantic web stuff and open datasets is important and poorly understood at the moment, both within the community and outside it. EdSaperia (talk) 10:42, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please mention e.g. the fact that hopefully we'll soon have a visualisation plugin http://trifacta.github.io/vega/editor/ for wikipedia that could draw from "data-commons" - think that could be massively significant and isn't currently conceivable to most people.

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decitions

edit

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

I'm notifying you because you participated in one of several relevant discussions. -Pete F (talk) 22:14, 20 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Building a "we"

edit

Dear Micru, thank you for your article on building a Wikimedia community. Here's my view on the subject. In a word, Wikimedia's biggest issues are social, and these can't be solved with technical solutions. We must try to become a better community. Good luck! --NaBUru38 (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

@NaBUru38: Thanks for your inspiring comic, it is very much like that :) In fact I think that most of the social problems are not approached because very few people know how to approach them, whereas solving technical problems seems to be more straightforward. It is also a matter of tracking resources, it is not easy to know if the resources spent in building a social aspect are well spent, and with all the drive to "metrify" everything it seems to become sort of unjustified spending. In my opinion the drive has to come from the community, however for that to happen it requires more organization and commitment. My hope is to start small scale, for the Wikisource community, and if it works, then increase the scope. Let's see how it goes! Gracias por tus comentarios! :) --Micru (talk) 09:02, 2 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Just in case, I did it with a meme generator, it's a running joke.
I'm a computer engineer and solving technical things is very tricky. But we do control computers (sort of), whereas nobody really controls people, so I'm aware that solving social issues is even harder.
I'm afraid that many Wikimedia members are very concerned about technology but seem no to care about social issues. We must change this, first by explaining people.
¡Buena suerte! --NaBUru38 (talk) 17:30, 3 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Movement Wide Finance Report 2014

edit

Dear Micru,

I’m Alex, currently a finance fellow (i.e intern) at the Wikimedia Foundation. I worked before for Wikimedia France, planning the Hackathon Lyon 2015 mainly. I'm today contacting you because of your activity for Wikimedia Wikisource Community User Group.

Last year, Finance Fellows produced a financial report that included financial activity from every chapters. It was great and has been presented at the Wikimania in Mexico.

If you haven’t seen the results of the Report 2013, here they are: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter-wide_Financial_Trends_Report_2013

We’re currently starting the Report 2014 and this year we also want to include user groups to improve the scope of our work. I want to tell you that I’ve tried to make the process as short and easy as possible, so that shouldn’t require a lot of your time.

The aim of such a report is global. It helps having an idea of how the money is used across the movement, it helps chapters and user groups to learn about best practice and finally it leads to more transparency through a qualitative work, which I believe is important.

Could you briefly tell me if you had any income and expenses in 2014? If you are not the person responsible for this, please tell me who is the user the most likely to know this information.

I’ll be your contact for this project this year, I’m looking forward to working with you!

Cheers, ACella (WMF) (talk) 23:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

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,

Community Wishlist Survey votes

edit

Hi Micru, Thanks for participating in the Wishlist Survey! I'm sorry that this wasn't clear -- this is the proposals phase of the survey, when people are posting and discussing proposals. The voting phase starts in a couple weeks, on November 28th. We're not counting votes that are cast early, because the proposals can change during this phase, and you might end up voting for something that changes in a way that you didn't expect. I've added some text at the top of the page, explaining this better.

I don't want people to see your Support votes and get confused, so I'm going to change the Support template in your message to "Good idea". If that response doesn't work for you, then feel free to change it. Sorry again about the confusion -- I'm really glad that you're participating. I hope you keep coming back to discuss and improve proposals, and you'll have a chance to vote starting on Nov 28th. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 19:03, 8 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@DannyH (WMF): Sorry about that, I was not aware that votes were not valid, I saw that other people were offering their support, so I assumed it was already open season.

Solomon203

edit

If you are a system engineer, then you should have some notion of both mathematical statistics and how check-user works. Well, look at the following facts:

  1. On the global unlock request Ruslik0 declared that “remember [that] saw this account (before the request on SRG) while performed a checkuser request on some NDC accounts”. This IMHO amounts to an admission that 2017 data are not available to stewards, if not squandered at all.
  2. On June 1 ToniBallioni said that Solomon203 will not be rehabilitated before making an own unblock request. Also, virtually an admission that they lack any technical data on Solomon203.
  3. On June 3 Solomon203 made two edits and in 12 hours Bbb23 replied with his {{tallyho}} (technically indistinguishable) template.

Which information do you possess to say that I don’t see the whole picture? And why on Earth should I, Incnis Mrsi, be “helpful” for Bbb23? First, he mistreated me, deleting my posts two times before the Solomon203 campaign and without any relation to it. Second, he intervened obviously not to resolve the conflict, but to shield fellow functionaries Ruslik0 and Sir_Sputnik – presumedly, from me, the Taiwanese, SA_13_Bro and all the “responsible” faction on Meta. Do you really expect me to trust this Wikipedian establishment? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:32, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Incnis Mrsi: Nobody has the whole picture. You don't know what the involved people are thinking or what are their circumstances. The principle of civility asks us to be cordial to everyone, even when we feel wronged, and if you don't feel capable of that the best is to ask for mediation to help clear the atmosphere. Also take into account something, when a person makes you suffer, that person is suffering too, and they need help. Remember that and you will have a more peaceful time here.--Micru (talk) 17:53, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Which “*human* systems engineer” may you become if still struggle with differences between “civility” and “helpfulness”, between “happiness” and “trust”? At first, you pushed forward some assessments of my “behaviour” in a conflict about which you had little idea at the time of writing. Now you dodge my questions (the only social engineering skill I observe here) and reply with general humanitarian stuff. The errant en.Wikipedian check-users have the whole administrative hierarchy to help them, whereas my business is to defend “our” users (of Wikimedia Commons in this context) from outrage by the lazy admins, not to help these admins (or anybody else) with internal business of Wikipedia. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 03:15, 28 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Incnis Mrsi: You should realize that helping others is a voluntary activity, you cannot force anyone to help you or to pay attention to the topics that you consider important. Generally people want to help, specially if you want to help others as it seems that you want. I know too little about the user you want to help, or even about yourself. It is true that I assessed your behaviour with little data, you seem to have suffered a lot from admin actions and I understand that you might have a bone to pick, but still I don't think that seeing wrong-doing is the best way. Most of the time people (or admins) do whatever they can to make things better, it is unfortunate that they didn't see any other option other than banning a user, but if there are other options it is not skillfull to blame others for not seeing them.--Micru (talk) 18:08, 26 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

We hope to submit a cover letter to the WMF trustees in the coming month. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 03:47, 2 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

The TWUG on space.wmflabs.org

edit

Hello Micru

A few months ago, WMF opened a new discussion space. Since our user group has some difficulties to communicate (not everyone sees the messages that are posted on Talk:Wiktionary/Tremendous_Wiktionary_User_Group), I asked for a dedicated forum for the TWUG to be opened. It's happening here (there is no topic so far).

From now on, I invite you to follow the category to be informed as soon as a new topic is created. Pamputt (talk) 18:54, 16 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hey there. It's been a while since we saw you around here. I'm sending this sort of message in a bottle in the hope that you see it one day and know that someone thought of you. I also hope that you are doing well. --Elitre (WMF) (talk) 09:13, 15 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Community Wishlist Survey 2020

edit

Hello!

You are getting this message because you've previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey, in either the Wikisource or Wiktionary categories. I wanted to let you know that this year's survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until November 11. Unlike previous years, we are only accepting proposals for non-Wikipedia content projects with no dedicated teams (i.e., Wikibooks, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage, and Wikinews). You can learn more on the survey page.

You can vote on proposals from November 20 to December 2. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won't send out a separate reminder to you about that. We look forward to your participation. Thank you! IFried (WMF) (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

News from the Tremendous Wiktionary User Group

edit

Hello!

Sorry to write in English!

I let you this message because you are part of the (very dynamic) Tremendous Wiktionary User Group!

As the process of name change is ongoing for the Wikimedia Foundation, I invite you to participate to a collective opinion from the user group. There is also a proposal for a communique directed to the WMF. You are welcome to discuss it too. I imagine you may also express your opinion through other canals but your inputs are still welcome! Thank you in advance! Noé (talk) 15:39, 17 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
