WikiConvention 2012

Die Menschen hinter Wikipedia auf der Konferenz für Freies Wissen treffen

Vom 31. August bis 2. September findet in Dornbirn das zweite große Treffen erfahrener Wikipedia-Autoren und Neueinsteiger statt. Die Veranstaltung dient dem Erfahrungsaustausch sowie der Koordinierung der gemeinsamen Arbeit der Ehrenamtlichen. Die Anmeldung steht allen Interessierten noch bis zum 29. Juli 2012 offen. Die WikiConvention ist eine Initiative der Wikipedia-Community. Veranstaltungsort ist die Fachhochschule Vorarlberg (FHV). Gemeinsam mit Wikimedia Österreich ist die FHV auch Veranstalter der Konferenz. Gefördert wird die WikiConvention außerdem von Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimedia CH und der Wikimedia Foundation.

Das österreichische Dornbirn liegt im Vierländer-Eck Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz und Liechtenstein. Die dortige Fachhochschule Vorarlberg bringt als Kooperationspartner und Veranstaltungsort den Hochschulbereich in die diesjährige WikiConvention ein: "Die FHV verfügt über eine hervorragende Infrastruktur, die wir gerne unseren Partnern für Veranstaltungen zur Verfügung stellen. Wir freuen uns auf die Gäste der WikiConvention und den zu erwartenden Wissenstransfer“, erklärt die Geschäftsführerin der FHV, Dr. Hedwig Natter.

Als Schirmherrin wird die Vorarlberger Landesrätin für Wissenschaft, Dipl.-Vw. Andrea Kaufmann die Veranstaltung eröffnen: „In unserer Wissensgesellschaft ist das individuelle und kollektive Wissen eine wichtige Grundlage für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg eines Landes. Vorarlberg hat mit der FHV eine moderne Hochschule, wo dieses Wissen vermittelt und neues Wissen generiert wird. Die FHV leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur erfolgreichen Entwicklung unseres Landes.“

Wie alle Informationen in Wikipedia werden auch die Inhalte der Veranstaltung gemeinsam auf einer Programmseite in der freien Enzyklopädie gesammelt. Jeder kann sich mit Ideen und Anregungen bis zum 30. Juni daran beteiligen.

Disable local uploads on smaller wikis

Auf meta wird gerade eine Diskussion geführt, ob der lokale Bildupload für kleinere Wikis abgestellt und alle lokalen Bilder anschließend gelöscht werden sollen. --Holder (Diskussion) 06:58, 21. Moi 2012 (CEST)

Vielen Dank für den Link! Ich finde es schade, dass wir (smaller wiki) nicht von meta über diese Diskussion informiert wurden. Vielleicht ein Grund mehr, dass die kleinen Wikis (zumindest im deutschsprachigen Raum) sich besser vernetzen sollten? --Murma174 (Diskussion) 08:28, 21. Moi 2012 (CEST)

Gute Idee, wie wäre es mit einem Treffen auf der WikiConvention? Ich habe dort einen Workshop zum Thema vorgeschlagen. --Holder (Diskussion) 10:43, 22. Moi 2012 (CEST)

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

More opportunities for you to access free research databases

The quest to get editors free access to the sources they need is gaining momentum.

• Credo Reference provides full-text online versions of nearly 1200 published reference works from more than 70 publishers in every major subject, including general and subject dictionaries and encyclopedias. There are 125 full Credo 350 accounts available, with access even to 100 more references works than in Credo's original donation. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.
• HighBeam Research has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications including newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias. Thousands of new articles are added daily, and archives date back over 25 years covering a wide range of subjects and industries. There are 250 full access 1-year accounts available. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.
• Questia is an online research library for books and journal articles focusing on the humanities and social sciences. Questia has curated titles from over 300 trusted publishers including 77,000 full-text books and 4 million journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, as well as encyclopedia entries. There will soon be 1000 full access 1-year accounts available. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.

You might also be interested in the idea to create a central Wikipedia Library where approved editors would have access to all participating resource donors.

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program

I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF). I'll be happy to assist or to connect you with a volunteer who can assist.)

Thank you! --Mdennis (WMF)03:55, 6. Sep. 2012 (CEST)

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Upcoming software changes - please report any problems

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

All Wikimedia wikis - including this one - will soon be upgraded with new and possibly disruptive code. This process starts today and finishes on October 24 (see the upgrade schedule & code details).

Please watch for problems with:

• revision diffs
• templates
• CSS and JavaScript pages (like user scripts)
• bots
• PDF export
• images, video, and sound, especially scaling sizes
• the CologneBlue skin

If you notice any problems, please report problems at our defect tracker site. You can test for possible problems at test2.wikipedia.org and mediawiki.org, which have already been updated.

Thanks! With your help we can find problems fast and get them fixed faster.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Thanks!
Pats Pena
Global Fundraising Operations Manager, Wikimedia Foundation
