IMPORTANTE: rassegna dell'attività di amministrazione[modifica]

Ciao. Una politica che riguarda la rimozione dei "diritti avanzati" (amministratore, burocrate, ecc) è stata adottata come parte sommaria della comunità nell'anno 2013: in accordo a questa politica, gli Stewards stanno rivedendo le attività degli amministratori su tutte le wiki della Fondazione di Wikimedia con nessun criterio politico che potrebbe riguardare l'inattività delle utenze. Di tale principio, ne risulta che al meglio delle nostre conoscenze, le utenze sulle wiki non avrebbero un processo formale per la rimozione di questi "diritti avanzati" che per l'appunto riguarderebbe tutti gli account inattivi. E in una propria conclusione ciò andrà a significare che gli steward in accordo alla rassegna dell'attività amministrativa si prenderanno cura di questo processo.

Abbiamo stabilito che i seguenti utenti soddisfano i criteri di inattività (senza modifiche e senza azioni di registro per più di 2 anni):

  1. WHacko (amministratore)

Questi utenti ben presto riceveranno una notifica: ad essi si chiederà di avviare alla comunità una discussione se vogliono mantenere alcuni o tutti i loro diritti. Quindi, se gli utenti non rispondono alla discussione richiesta, i loro diritti che precedentemente hanno mantenuto sino a quel momento saranno rimossi dagli amministratori.

Tuttavia, se dalla comunità si vorrebbe creare il proprio processo di rassegna di attività che sostituisce quello globale, si potrebbe prendere un'altra decisione di quei diritti dei detentori che sono inattivi dove codesti utenti hanno già una politica, ma la stessa fu superata e non è più valida. Pe cui, si è pregati di avvisare gli Stewards (stewards on Meta-Wiki), laddove gli steward senza determinato avviso non potranno sapere se procedere o astenersi al riesame dei diritti wiki di questi utenti. Grazie. Rschen7754 05:55, 13 gen 2015 (CET)[rispondi]

Ci vediamo a Milano? (Con Lila Tretikov)[modifica]

Ciao :) Sto passando da tutti i progetti italofoni (e affini!) per segnalare l'importante appuntamento di settimana prossima con l'Executive Director della Wikimedia Foundation (mi scuso con chi legge la notizia più volte). Come ho detto altrove, lei verrà per conoscere la comunità italofona, per vedere facce nuove, per sentire voci nuove. Incontri come questi sono fondamentali per una persona come lei, che non viene dal Movimento, per conoscerlo e capirlo, integrando altre occasioni di contatto (ad es. Wikimania) magari più "superficiali", durante i quali molte più persone ci tengono a presentarsi e a interagire con lei, o più formali (l'impressione che ci fa qualcuno sotto i riflettori di un palcoscenico può essere anche molto diversa quando il contesto cambia). Se potete, dunque, non fatevi "rappresentare"! E date le diversità tra le comunità di Wikipedia e quelle degli altri progetti, venite anche per raccontarle quanto siano belli e importanti questi ultimi! Spero di vedervi lì! A presto, --Elitre (discussioni) 20:47, 12 feb 2015 (CET) (Se avete domande, fatele nella pagina linkata, o potrei perdermele.)[rispondi]

Inspire Campaign: Improving diversity, improving content[modifica]

This March, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas for improving gender diversity on Wikimedia projects. Less than 20% of Wikimedia contributors are women, and many important topics are still missing in our content. We invite all Wikimedians to participate. If you have an idea that could help address this problem, please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 31.

All proposals are welcome - 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, positive 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 and help this project better represent the world’s knowledge!

Stewards confirmation rules[modifica]

Hello, I made a proposal on Meta to change the rules for the steward confirmations. Currently consensus to remove is required for a steward to lose his status, however I think it's fairer to the community if every steward needed the consensus to keep. As this is an issue that affects all WMF wikis, I'm sending this notification to let people know & be able to participate. Best regards, --MF-W 18:12, 10 apr 2015 (CEST)[rispondi]

This is a message from the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee. Translations are available.

Greetings,

I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for the 2015 Wikimedia Foundation Elections. This year the Board and the FDC Staff are looking for a diverse set of candidates from regions and projects that are traditionally under-represented on the board and in the movement as well as candidates with experience in technology, product or finance. To this end they have published letters describing what they think is needed and, recognizing that those who know the community the best are the community themselves, the election committee is accepting nominations for community members you think should run and will reach out to those nominated to provide them with information about the job and the election process.

This year, elections are being held for the following roles:

Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees is the decision-making body that is ultimately responsible for the long term sustainability of the Foundation, so we value wide input into its selection. There are three positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the board elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC)
The Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) makes recommendations about how to allocate Wikimedia movement funds to eligible entities. There are five positions being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC elections page.

Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) Ombud
The FDC Ombud receives complaints and feedback about the FDC process, investigates complaints at the request of the Board of Trustees, and summarizes the investigations and feedback for the Board of Trustees on an annual basis. One position is being filled. More information about this role can be found at the FDC Ombudsperson elections page.

The candidacy submission phase lasts from 00:00 UTC April 20 to 23:59 UTC May 5 for the Board and from 00:00 UTCApril 20 to 23:59 UTC April 30 for the FDC and FDC Ombudsperson. This year, we are accepting both self-nominations and nominations of others. More information on this election and the nomination process can be found on the 2015 Wikimedia elections page on Meta-Wiki.

Please feel free to post a note about the election on your project's village pump. Any questions related to the election can be posted on the talk page on Meta, or sent to the election committee's mailing list, board-elections -at- wikimedia.org

On behalf of the Elections Committee,

Pywikibot compat will no longer be supported - Please migrate to pywikibot core[modifica]

Sorry for English, I hope someone translates this.
Pywikibot (then "Pywikipediabot") was started back in 2002. In 2007 a new branch (formerly known as "rewrite", now called "core") was started from scratch using the MediaWiki API. The developers of Pywikibot have decided to stop supporting the compat version of Pywikibot due to bad performance and architectural errors that make it hard to update, compared to core. If you are using pywikibot compat it is likely your code will break due to upcoming MediaWiki API changes (e.g. T101524). It is highly recommended you migrate to the core framework. There is a migration guide, and please contact us if you have any problem.

There is an upcoming MediaWiki API breaking change that compat will not be updated for. If your bot's name is in this list, your bot will most likely break.

Thank you,
The Pywikibot development team, 19:30, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images[modifica]

The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.
How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (discussioni) 07:07, 24 lug 2015 (CEST)[rispondi]

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?[modifica]

Hi,
The Community Engagement department at the Wikimedia Foundation has launched a new learning campaign. The WMF wants to record community impressions about what makes a healthy online community. Share your views and/or create a drawing and take a chance to win a Wikimania 2016 scholarship! Join the WMF as we begin a conversation about Community Health. Contribute a drawing or answer the questions on the campaign's page.

Why get involved?[modifica]

The world is changing. The way we relate to knowledge is transforming. As the next billion people come online, the Wikimedia movement is working to bring more users on the wiki projects. The way we interact and collaborate online are key to building sustainable projects. How accessible are Wikimedia projects to newcomers today? Are we helping each other learn?
Share your views on this matter that affects us all!
We invite everyone to take part in this learning campaign. Wikimedia Foundation will distribute one Wikimania Scholarship 2016 among those participants who are eligible.

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed[modifica]

Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

Wikimania 2016: aperta la call for proposals[modifica]

Cari utenti,

come forse saprete Wikimania 2016 si sta avvicinando (si terrà in Italia, a Esino Lario (LC) dal 21 al 28 giugno). Da qualche giorno è aperta la call for proposals: tutti gli utenti della comunità e dei progetti Wikimedia sono invitati a proporre una sessione da inserire nel programma della conferenza.

Questa call riguarda solo le presentazioni identificate con il termine critical issues, ovvero quelle che riguardano argomenti specifici affrontati con un certo livello di dettaglio (problemi, possibili soluzioni, analisi critiche circa i progetti e le attività wikimediane). Queste presentazioni sono pensate per persone con una certa esperienza sui progetti Wikimedia e possono richiedere delle conoscenze pregresse da parte delle persone che intendono partecipare alle presentaizoni.

Per poter accogliere il maggior numero possibile di presentazioni, si suggerisce di limitare la durata delle stesse a un massimo di 18 minuti, considerando poi altri 10 minuti per le domande dei partecipanti.

Per proporre una presentazione è possibile andare alla pagina Submissions del sito di Wikimania Esino Lario 2016. Le proposte possono essere inviate entro in 7 gennaio 2016. --Yiyi (discussioni) 11:28, 19 dic 2015 (CET)[rispondi]
