Inspire Campaign on content curation & review

I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign to encourage new ideas focusing on content review and curation in Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.

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 feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:38, 29 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,

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

كنت قد نشرت صفحة بالفرنسية تخص أهم مركز للتكوين المهني في تونس في تكنولوجيا السيارات، و كموظفين في وزارة التكوين المهني و التشغيل التونسية لم نكن نتوقع أن يكون الأمر بهذه الصعوبة. فقد تحالف أدمينات فرنسيون و بلجيكيون لمحو الصفحة بداية بتعلة حقوق التأليف ثم بدون سبب ثم بتعلة أن المركز غير معروف بعد نقاش لم يقدموا فيه أي سبب مقنع و كانوا قد طلبوا مساعدة أدمن نصف تونسي نصف سويسري الذي قام بحملة الإلغاء و أرسلي لي أنه يمكن نشر الصفحة في المستقبل إذا أصبح المركز معروفا.. هذا المركز أسس في سنة 1960 و به حوالي الألف سنويا ممن يزاولون تعليمهم من مختلف الجنسيات التونسية و الإفريقية و العربية..شعرنا حقيقة أن منصة ويكيبيديا لا تعترف إلا بما كان معروفا في فرنسا مثلا، و تبقى حكرا على ما يقره أدمينات فرنسا الذين من الأكيد لا يسمعون و لا يهتمون بمؤسسات دول عربية من العالم الثالث لا تتحدث عنها الصحافة الفرنسية أو البلجيكية.. طلب المساعدة يخص موضوع نشر الصفحة بالعربية و الفرنسية و الانجليزية دون أن يعود حلف الأدمينات الفرنسيين الذين أخذوا الأمر من منطلق شخصي لتعطيل صفحة تخص مؤسسة من أعرق المؤسسات التعليمية التونسية، و بذلك تكون منصة ويكيبيديا مفتوحة لكل ماهو معروف في جميع دول العالم عند شعوبها بقطع النظر عن الجنس و الدين و الأصل و الإمكانيات الاقتصادية و الإعلامية لشعوب هذه الدول التي تكابد لإيصال صوتها. شكرا جزيلا على قراءة هذه المقالة أولا ثم شكرا على المبادرة بتقديم الإرشاد و النصيحة، و السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته. أخوكم من تونس موظف بوزارة التكوين المهني و التشغيل.

• شكرا على رسالتك. أنا أهتم بويكيبيديا العربية بالخصوص و أدعوك أن تنشأ المقالة باللغة العربية و سأساعدك في ذلك حتى نكون الصفحة مطابقة مع معايير ويكيبيديا. للأسف عديد المقالات تحذف ليس بسبب أن المقالة لا تحترم المعايير و لكن بسبب أن الشخص الذي كتبها لم يحررها بشكر جيد مما يؤدي إلى حذفها--Vivaystn (talk) 17:02, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the Months of African Cinema last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000. About 9 in-person events were also organised for the edit-a-thon in different parts of the world.

The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called The AfroCine Project, which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history, works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema, theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.

If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username as a participant on the English Wikipedia contest page. If you would love to lead this contest for your country or community, please list your name in the coordinators' page here. The rapid grants team would be accepting proposals throughout October and November, in case you'd need funds to run local edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this event. Upon listing your name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted to talk about the resources you'd need to run the event in your community. You can also contact me directly for any clarifications.

Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine project. These aspects include:

1. Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging with local communities to support their activities within the scope of Afrocine.
2. Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the project. Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media would be the responsibility of this person.
3. MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African Cinema contest. We need as many people as we can get 🙂.
4. Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track the metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are calling for Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can be useful for the project.

If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles that have not been mentioned, please contact me directly or on: samoye_hotmail.com

If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out to me personally or right here or the project talkpages.

Thank you!--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:10, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
