Brox, I'm on the Ombudsman Commission now so I'm not using the checkuser tool except to investigate violations of the checkuser policy. You have contacted several other people so hopefully one of them can answer your concern or refer you to someone who can help. FloNight 21:30, 10 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

[1] There has been some talk about how a certain someone isn't as horribly abusive and untrustworthy as he actually is. I find the dissembling rather troubling. Ottava Rima (talk) 03:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

I posted a small monologue elsewhere, but I wanted to drop you a line, because even though you don't know me, I of course know you, and I remember you from an earlier era of en wikipedia when we were mostly concerned with building the encyclopedia and so we mostly got along.

I'm taking the time to tell you-- I don't enjoy editing English Wikipedia anymore. I don't like the culture anymore. I don't like the constant fights, I don't like the incivility, I don't like the edit wars.

Most of all, I don't like being told "Because I Said So". I can't work for a boss that tells me "Because I said so", and I definitely can't bring myself to volunteer to work for one for free.

In the past year, or perhaps longer, Wikipedia has become more like Myspace. A common vision of working together is getting replaced by incivility and endless disputes.

Recently, this came into focus for me. I encountered a small group of EN users who have 'declared war' on fair-use images appear to be trying to delete as many of them as possible-- refusing to provide newbies with feedback on how to even use the upload process responsibly. Some, at least, openly admit they're not trying to improve the articles-- they seem driven by "video game dynamics", trying to rack up a score of who can keep the most fair-use images deleted.

At first I couldn't believe it was true, but as I go through the talk history, I see dozens upon dozens of cases of fair use being met with rudeness, incivility, apparently even intentional obfuscation. The people who have complained number not in the single digits but at least in the dozens, possibly more.

If you want to try to put a stop to it, you can find who they are easily enough. Instead, they have stopped me-- I don't want to edit anymore, I don't want to donate anymore, and after the way I was addressed by the radical-copyright-clique, I don't particularly want to be civil to them anymore either.

I spent six years uploading imagines and writing articles, and I left you all to protect it. I see kids pissing on everything we've done, I see them insulting newbies and oldies alike, and I see it happening no just to me, but to person after person after person.

You don't need to stop it on my account. I want Wikipedia to be The Gutenberg Bible-- right now, if my perceptions are representative, ENWikipedia is on track to being "That place that used to be cool and inspiring but now is so troll-filled that it's utterly dysfunctional". 'Myspace Syndrome'-- Wikipedia has a great lead, but nobody I know really enjoys writing for it anymore-- some write through the frustration, others just don't write at all anymore.

I'm telling people not to donate-- not because I don't want WMF to donate, but because the cultural situation is sufficiently bad that it's just throwing good money after bad to keep funding something that doesn't keep improving, and on the contrary, seems to be getting worse with time.

My two cents-- take it as the insight of an old wikisoul or dismiss it as the ramblings of a blocked troll. I suspect you'll recognize the difference.

Good luck in the year ahead. I justed wanted to write you to alert you that yes, ENWiki definitely has a problem so severe and utterly frustrating that it makes WP not worth editing, and that makes WMF not worth donating to, and THAT makes me very very sad.

Merry Christmas, wishing you sincere luck this donation season and in the year to come. Please try to find time to look into the problems surrounding incivil, rude, speed deletions of fair-use media on minor technicalities that could be remedied with simple explanation or assumption of good faith-- a group of people have not only turned vandalism into a video game-- they're winning, and our projects are losing. --Randomcommenter 08:12, 2 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi FloNight! Thank you for signing up to be a founding volunteer of the WikiWomen's Collaborative. I've started to draft ideas for blogs on meta, here! Feel free to chime in, and let's get this blogging party started! :) SarahStierch (talk) 00:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Can you advise how someone applies to join the FDC?

This page explains the process. Membership FDC. The time for self nomination for this year has already closed. The next opportunity will be in 2013 when 2 seats are filled.

"In 2013, in conjunction with the election for community-elected Board of Trustee seats, two FDC seats (the two seats not filled initially) will be filled via community election, bringing the total number of voting members of the FDC to nine. If there is attrition among the founding FDC prior to the 2013 elections, up to three of these seats would be filled by community-elected members of the FDC, to bring the total number of community-elected seats to five."

I hope that answers your question. (Sydney Poore) FloNight (talk) 22:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is to recognize your hard work on the first round of the FDC! Thanks!

Jan-Bart (talk) 19:20, 15 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. I was thrilled to see the FDC get off the ground and meet the deadline. Loads of credit should go to the FDC Advisory Group for setting up a process that worked! FloNight (talk) 00:57, 16 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Indeed. The advisory group did a great job. But you accepted the challenge and did an amazing job, in such little time. Thanks for that! Patricio.lorente (talk) 01:31, 16 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sydney! I hope your New Years is going great. I hope you've had a chance to see the "newly renovated" WikiWomen's Collaborative! We've made the space easier to move around and find resources, events, and ways to get involved. As a founding member of the project I'd love to have you still involved! We've got all types of roles, such as blog writers and blog coordinators. I also understand you are very busy! I hope the project can flourish after my fellowship ends this month, as I'll step back to volunteering and it'll be up to volunteers like us to keep it fresh and focused on engaging women! I'll be reporting about the project on the 24th, and I can't wait to share the details with you (women are editing more!). I've babbled enough..but, I hope you'll stop by and check it out :) Also, I encourage you to make a profile for our page - you can now introduce yourself! Alright, talk to you later :) SarahStierch (talk) 23:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your interest in Wiki Project Med. We have created a non profit corporation in the state of New York to promote the aims of the Wikimedia Movement within the topic domain of medicine. This means we are and continue to promote the creation and release of "health care information in all languages" under an open license. This is being done primarily via speaking and collaborating with both individuals and organizations who share our goal. We are working on a number of collaborations already and are open to more ideas. We hope to be active globally and thus welcome all people who share these goals to join us.

Hi! If you have some time, I would love your help in editing a learning pattern that I just created, which I know is near and dear to your own heart: Learning patterns/Fostering Affinity Groups. I thought you would probably have better ways of articulating the issue, and if you have any other links to point it to (I do reference your idea in the IdeaLab!), that would be great! :D Jwild (talk) 18:24, 14 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi FloNight. Thanks so much for signing up to participate on the Inspire Campaign Funding Committee! We really appreciate your support and willingness to share your time and expertise. We'd love to get your feedback this week on the funding page we've created for the campaign. Please post any questions/comments on the discussion page.

I have removed my name from all the Inspire projects. I think a lot of them have potential, are good ideas and offer a good opportunity to make things better for the projects. Unfortunately, there is a clear bias to finding sexism whether it exists or not so I have no desire to participate in them. If they are going to be treated as though oppose votes and negative comments don't matter, which are important to project success BTW, I have no desire to be a part of them. You will find plenty of yes men and women out there who will be glad to slap their name on them and add them to their Wiki resume's but I am not one of them. I don't like being bullied into supporting bad projects so I won't participate in any of them. Reguyla (talk) 23:59, 5 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

There are many current proposals as part of the 2015 Inspire Campaign related to harassment management. I’ve created a page, Grants:IdeaLab/Community discussion on harassment reporting meant to serve as a central space where the various stakeholders in these proposals and other community members can discuss which methods might serve our community best so that we can unify our ideas into collective action. I encourage you to join the conversation and contribute your ideas!OR drohowa (talk) 02:09, 22 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your message about my idea "Women are everywhere". I've seen it too late, just few days ago. I hope there will be other opportunities. Sincerely, --Kenzia (talk) 18:23, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for answering, it is very kind of you. That's a very good news indeed. Let me think about it. There are problems: I'm quite new in wikipedia, and not very expert in using it; I'm afraid my english is not good enough, my mother tongue is italian; I have not relations with other people who are already editors in Wikipedia. I've seen that there is a volunteer for my project, but maybe that is not enough. I can say that till now I've already tried to have a gender standpoint in my contributions to the italian wikipedia. There is a lot to do. I'll think about it. Many thanks --Kenzia (talk) 19:35, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello FloNight,

for sure I'm interested in expanding the idea "Women are everywhere" and bringing it to the Individual Engagement Grants Project. I'm aware of the difficulties, but if you can help me, it worth a try. I think that the gender gap, in Wikipedia and elsewhere, is a real, unacceptable injustice, and we have to do what we can for improving things. It's a big task, it needs all the possible contributions, no matter how small they are. It takes time too, but we all know that "Rome wasn't built in a day". Sincerely, --Kenzia (talk) 09:52, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

In addition to taking the the survey, you are welcome to participate in these ways:

• Respond to questions on the discussion page of the idea.
• Join a small group conversation.
• Learn more about this consultation.

This survey is in English, but feedback on the discussion page is welcome in any language.

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

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that OTRS volunteers sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have been identified as an OTRS volunteer and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy. If you do not sign the new confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015, you will lose your OTRS access. OTRS volunteers have a specific agreement available, if you have recently signed the general confidentiality agreement for another role (such as CheckUser or Oversight), you do not need to sign the general agreement again, but you will still need to sign the OTRS agreement.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 31 December 2015 to retain your OTRS access. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

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,

Hi Sydney! Thanks for joining the Whose Knowledge user group - we’re so glad to have you involved!

Here are some updates about recent activities:

• User group approved: Our user group was officially approved in October - hooray! Big thanks to Raystorm and FloNight for the idea to create a user group for the Whose Knowledge? campaign :)
• Mapping feminist knowledge at AWID's 2016 Forum: Interested in learning more about what we’ve been doing lately? Read our blog post on what we learned from mapping feminist knowledge at Association for Women's Rights in Development's 2016 Forum.
• New grant proposal:
  • We’ve proposed a WMF project grant. It would be great to have your feedback and/or endorsement by November 1 if this project interests you!
  • It would also be great to have your help notifying communities already working on systemic bias about this proposal. Here is a draft message - please translate, change as you see fit for your own context, and share in any communities you’re active in on and off-wiki!

Looking forward to doing more together very soon! Siko (talk) 01:12, 18 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello! We are leaving you this message because you have previously indicated that you interested in helping the Wikimedia Foundation Support & Safety team in developing our training modules this year.

We appreciate all the help and thoughts users like you have offered thus far. We would like to encourage you, if you are interested, to participate in the next step of our development: a community consultation about the design and structure of the modules. Note that we're not yet gathering feedback on the content of the modules - a separate consultation about that will be starting soon.

In this "design" consultation, we're looking for advice on things like the best place to host these modules, the accessibility of content, and other potential design decisions. Please feel free to leave any thoughts you have about these things on the talk page. Thanks! Kbrown (WMF) (talk) 18:08, 8 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Dear FloNight!

I have seen your name added in the Iberocoop proposal for the editing contest "The woman you never meet". We are so happy to have you on board! In this sense, and as you have a huge expertise regarding gender and Wikipedia, we would like to work more closely with you :). For Iberocoop and after two years of implementing this contest, has been very important not just the quantity but the quality of the articles edited. In this sense we stablished 6 general indicators to include the gender perspective while editing an article in Wikipedia. This rule has worked for the Spanish Wikipedia in the last two years. However and as we have been point out by several en Wikipedia editors, it might not work for the english wikipedia. That is one of the reason why I am reaching to you. You have a lot of expertise in the English Wikipedia and would be so interesting if we can work together to set a group of 5-6 indicators to make sure that the gender perspective is included during the contest beyond spanish editions.
Does it make sense to you?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all of your support for Whose Knowledge? so far! Get ready, we're going to need lots of your help in 2017 :)

What's new in 2017:

1. Volunteers needed

As Whose Knowledge? grows, there are lots of things to do! Can you help?

• Are you good with data entry, categories, mailing lists or social media? We especially need people to help with organizing knowledge for Dalit History Month, and building out our communications (including this monthly newsletter!) right now!
• If you're interested in volunteering for these or any other projects, please signup here

2. Pilot projects

Building partnerships and testing our approach with marginalized communities.

• Dalit History Month: We're working with Equality Labs to support Dalit communities in South Asia and the United States to map knowledge and create Wikipedia content. Dalit History Month edit-a-thons are coming in April!
• Women's Human Rights Defenders: In partnership with Urgent Action Fund, we'll be supporting a group of women's human rights defenders around the world with more mapping and wiki content creation. Themes and geographies coming soon!
• Kumeyaay Wikipedia Initiative: Following the 2016 Indigenous People's Day edit-a-thon, we're continuing to work with members of the Kumeyaay tribe in Southern California and Baja to map and contribute indigenous knowledge to Wikimedia projects. A discussion day with Kumeyaay community in San Diego is being planned for May.

3. Funding:

We've got financial support for 2017!

• WMF grant: 6-month funding (February-July 2017) was approved to pilot our approach to mapping knowledge and creating Wikipedia content with the Dalit community and global women's human rights defenders. Thanks for all your endorsements!
• Shuttleworth Fellowship: Anasuya is a Shuttleworth Fellow! This means we'll be able to spend more time organizing, and have support for convenings, campaign infrastructure, etc.

4. Wikimedia Strategy

Hi folks. If you're receiving this message, you've contributed to IdeaLab or an Inspire Campaign this year. Thanks for participating to develop ideas and review ones from other Wikimedians.

We are preparing some changes to IdeaLab and Inspire Campaigns. One of these changes is a new community space on Connect, where Wikimedians can find each other based on common activities or skills, and ask questions about the space. You are invited to join this community space for IdeaLab, especially if you would ever consider needing to find contributors with certain skills (like design or project management) or would like to offer your skills to others in our movement. To join, please proceed to Connect/IdeaLab and click on the "Add yourself" button on the right. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 19:53, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.

If you're interested, consider joining the Inspire Campaign. I JethroBT (WMF) 17:13, 13 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Strategic Wikimedia Affiliates Network (SWAN) is a developing forum for all Wikimedia movement affiliates to share ideas on the Wikimedia 2030 strategy process. It expands on the model of the All-Affiliates Brand Meeting to help lay some of the groundwork for a future Global Council.

Following up on the August, September, October, November, and January SWAN meetings and June's All-Affiliates Brand Meeting, as well as strategic and outreach topics of mutual concern to all affiliates, this month we are meeting on Sunday February 21, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

To help set priorities for the SWAN agenda, and also to help manage which global conversations should be a focus in general, we have set up and invite everyone to participate at this SWAN priorities form. Possible topics include Community Board seats, Interim Global Council, Strategy prioritization follow-up events, Branding, Universal Code of Conduct, Grant strategy, and WMF CEO search. That is a lot of things, which are most important to cover in our upcoming SWAN meeting?

Following the regular call, in SWAN after hours: Wikimedia Meet Jitsi social event with brainstorming for possible Nano Charter ideas, plus any other topics.

Hello, my name is Mervat Salman, a UCoC Facilitator, Trust and Safety team.

As you know, the WMF Board of Trustees ratified the Universal Code of Conduct early in February. That's the beginning; the policy itself cannot be used if the enforcement pathways are not defined. The implementation and enforcement of the UCoC requires the continuous cooperation to define clear definitions of enforcement pathways and processes. This needs to be done in a way that does not contradict with the internal bylaws and codes of conduct currently in place, but rather to support them and complement their deficiencies, if any.

In this phase of the process, we would like to invite you to share your ideas, thoughts and concerns about the UCoC implementation, reporting and enforcement pathways using this survey:

• English
• French
• German

Notice: This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/UCoC_Affiliates_Survey_Privacy_Statement>.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org.

Best regards,
