Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections is now open
ફેરફાર કરોThe Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.
With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.
There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback:
- What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates? The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.
- What are the expectations for the candidates during the election? Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?
There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback.
Thank you,

Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 Postponed
ફેરફાર કરોDear Wikimedians,
We want to give you an update related to Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022. Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 (or WMWM2022) was to be conducted from 18 to 20 February 2022 and is postponed now.
Currently, we are seeing a new wave of the pandemic that is affecting many people around. Although WMWM is an online event, it has multiple preparation components such as submission, registration, RFC etc which require community involvement.
We feel this may not be the best time for extensive community engagement. We have also received similar requests from Wikimedians around us. Following this observation, please note that we are postponing the event, and the new dates will be informed on the mailing list and on the event page. Although the main WMWM is postponed, we may conduct a couple of brief calls/meets (similar to the Stay safe, stay connected call) on the mentioned date, if things go well.
We'll also get back to you about updates related to WMWM once the situation is better. Thank you MediaWiki message delivery (ચર્ચા) ૧૨:૫૮, ૨૭ જાન્યુઆરી ૨૦૨૨ (IST)

Invitation to join the first Wikisource Triage meeting on 21st March 2022
ફેરફાર કરોHello everyone,
Sam Wilson and I are excited to share that we will be hosting regular Wikisource Triage meetings, starting from 21st March 2022.
These meetings aim to foster the growth of a technical community of Wikisource developers and contributors. The meetings will be primarily focused on identifying, prioritizing and estimating tasks on the All-and-every-Wikisource and ProofreadPage workboards (among others) on Phabricator and eventually reduce the backlog of technical tasks and bugs related to Wikisource by making incremental improvements to Wikisource infrastructure and coordinating these changes with the Wikisource communities.
While these meetings are technology focused, non-technical Wikisource contributors are also invited to join and share any technical challenges that they are facing and we will help them to create phabricator tickets. Newbie developers are also more than welcome!
The first meeting has been scheduled for 21st March 2022 at 10:30 AM UTC / 4:00 PM IST (Check your local time). If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on sgill@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest topics for the agenda.

સ્કેનર આપવા બાબત
ફેરફાર કરોનમસ્તે, ગુજરાતી વિકિ સમુદાય પાસે સ્કેનર છે, જેનો મે ઘણી વાર ઉપયોગ કર્યો છે. અનંતભાઈએ કહ્યું એમ મે સી.આઈ.એસ. પાસેથી સ્કેનર મેળવવાનો પ્રયાસ પણ કર્યો પણ મને મળી શક્યું નથી. માટે હવે ગુજરાતી વિકિ સમુદાય પાસે સહાયતાની આશા છે. આમ તો આ સમુદાયની ઇચ્છા હોય, તો આપી શકાય અને બહાનું બતાવીને ના પણ પાડી શકાય. મને જરૂર છે માટે જ અહીં લખી રહ્યો છું. મારે સંસ્કૃતમાં લેખો લખવા માટે અમુક સંદર્ભ ગ્રન્થોની આવશ્યકતા હોય છે, પણ ગ્રન્થાલય અમુક પુસ્તકો માત્ર જોવા આપે છે, ઘરે લઈ જવા આપતા નથી. માટે સ્કેન કરવાની અનુમતિ લઈને હું પુસ્તક વાપરવાનો પ્રયાસ કરુ છું. આરંભમાં અનંતભાઈ સાથે મારો વ્યવહાર સારો રહ્યો પરન્તુ અચાનક જે અમના તરફથી સ્કેનર આપવામાં ઘણો વિલંબ થયો, જેથી મારા કામ પર પણ પ્રભાવ પડ્યો. મને લાગે છે આ એક ઘર્ષણ થાય એવી સ્થિતિ ઉત્પન્ન થઈ ગઈ છે. મને અચાનક લાગે છે કે હું માંગી રહ્યો છું એટલે હું કદાચ ગરીબડો બનીને યાચના ઉપર યાચના કરી રહ્યો છું. અને સામે વાળી વ્યક્તિ પોતાની નવી નવી સ્થિતિનું વર્ણન કરીને મને વધું ભીખ માંગવાની સ્થિતિમાં લઈ આવે છે. જો હું ગુજ.વિકિ માટે આ સ્કેનર માંગતો હોત અથવા સમાન રીતે સ્કેનર વાપરવા માટેની નીતિ હોત, તો શું મારી સાથે આવો વ્યવહાર થયો હોત. વિકિ એક વિવાદ સ્થળ ત્યારે બને છે, જ્યારે એક વ્યક્તિ બીજા વ્યક્તિને સમજવા જ નથી માંગતો અથવા હું આ સ્વૈચ્છિક રીતે કરું છું એટલે ગમે તે રીતે સામે વાળાને બહાનું બતાવી શકું છું. શાસ્ત્રો કહે છે કે આપણને જે વ્યવહાર આપણી જોડે થાય, તો ન ગમે, એવો વ્યવહાર આપણે બીજા સાથે કરવો નહીં. શું હું વારંવાર કોઈ વાત વિષે લબડાવ્યા કરું, તો કોઈને ગમે. ન જ ગમે. માણસ બીજને બહાના બતાવીને પોતીની જાતને સાચો અને સારો સિદ્ધ કરી શકે, પણ પોતે આત્મવિશ્લેષણ કરે તો જણાય કે મને આપી દેવામાં શું વાંધો છે, એ દેખાઈ આવે. ગુજ.વિકિ નાં સદસ્યો ને આટલું મોટુ લખાણ લખી રહ્યો છું, કારણ કે મારે સ્કેનરની અત્યન્ત આવશ્યકતા છે અને વારંવાર આવશ્યકતા રહેવાની છે. તો મારે દર વખતે ગરીબડા બનીને યાચના ન કરવી પડે, એવો કોઈ નિર્ણય આપ સૌ કરો એ વિનંતિ છે. બીજી બાજુ હું પ્રયાસ કરીશ કે મને કશે બીજે થી સ્કેનર મળી રહે, ત્યાર સુધી યોગ્ય રીતે સ્વમાન સાથે સ્કેનર મળે એવી વિચારણા કરો એ જ વિનંતિ. કેટલા દિવસ થઈ ગયા એ તમે જ જોયું છે, મારી પાસેથી વચ્ચે પણ એક બે પુસ્તકો જતી રહી છે. હું ઇચ્છીશ કે તમે સૌ સહાયતા કરો. - નેહલ દવે.

ફેરફાર કરોDear community members,
In continuation of Maryana Iskander's listening tour, the Movement Communications and Movement Strategy and Governance teams invite you to discuss the 2022-23 Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan.
The conversations are about these questions:
- The 2030 Wikimedia Movement Strategy sets a direction toward "knowledge as a service" and "knowledge equity". The Wikimedia Foundation wants to plan according to these two goals. How do you think the Wikimedia Foundation should apply them to our work?
- The Wikimedia Foundation continues to explore better ways of working at a regional level. We have increased our regional focus in areas like grants, new features, and community conversations. How can we improve?
- Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy process. We want to know about your activities, ideas, requests, and lessons learned. How can the Wikimedia Foundation better support the volunteers and affiliates working in Movement Strategy activities?
Date and Time
The meeting will happen via Zoom on 24 April (Sunday) at 07:00 UTC (local time). Kindly add the event to your calendar. Live interpretation will be available for some languages.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 - Call for Election Volunteers
ફેરફાર કરોThe Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.
The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.
There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?
Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
- Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
- Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions
Volunteers should:
- Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
- Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner
Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up here to receive updates. You can use the talk page for questions about translation.

વિકિસ્ત્રોત વિષયક કાર્યશાળા યોજવા બાબત
ફેરફાર કરોCIS-A2K દ્વારા ૨ દિવસની (લગભગ જૂન મહિનાના અંતમાં) વિકિસ્ત્રોત વિષયક કાર્યશાળા યોજવાનો વિચાર છે. આ કાર્યશાળામાં વિકિસ્રોત સંબંધિત તાલીમ, ટેકનિકલ ટુલ્સનો ઉપયોગ તેમજ ભવિષ્યની રૂપરેખા પર ધ્યાન કેન્દ્રિત કરવામાં આવશે. નિશ્ચિત તારીખ અને સ્થળ હવે પછી નક્કી કરવામાં આવશે. કાર્યશાળાના આયોજન વિશે સમુદાયના સભ્યોનો શું મત છે એ જણાવવા વિનંતી. આભાર.

ઘણો સારો વિચાર છે.
ત્રણેક વર્ષના પહેલાં કરેલ આવી એક કાર્યશાળાના અનુભવથી એવું જણાય છે કે વિકિસ્રોતમાટે જેમને રસ છે તેવાં મિત્રો આ કાર્યશાળા પછી દરરોજનો અડધોથી એક કલાક આ કામમાટે ફાળવે તેવી પ્રતિબધ્ધતા સાથે જ આ કાર્યશાળામાં આવે તો કાર્યશાળાનો ઉદ્દેશ્ય વધારે સારી રીતે સફળ થાય.
આ કાર્યશાળાનો પ્રસાર વિકિપિડિયા પર કામ કરતાં બધાં ગુજરાતી મિત્રો સુધી થાય એ તો સ્વાભાવિક અપેક્ષા કરી શકાય. તે સિવાય પણ ફેસબુક જેવાં સામાજિક માધ્યમો પર પણ પ્રચાર કરી શકાય.
સંખ્યા વધારે થશે તો તેમાંથી ચળાઈને પ્રતિબધ્ધતા સાથેનાં ગુણાત્મક સહકાર્યકરો પણ વધશે તેવી આશા કરી શકાય.

Bot policy
ફેરફાર કરોHello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.
This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Rschen7754 ૦૯:૨૧, ૫ જુલાઇ ૨૦૨૨ (IST)
Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass
ફેરફાર કરોHi all,
Community members are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass for the 2022 Board of Trustees election.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:
- July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
- July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
- July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
- August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
- August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
- August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision
The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.
Regards,
Movement Strategy & Governance

WikiConference India 2023: Initial conversations
ફેરફાર કરોDear Wikimedians,
Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023.
The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.
We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes & use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.
Here is a survey form to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on this page, if you support the idea.

કોબા તીર્થને કરવાનો ઇ-મેઇલ
ફેરફાર કરોઆજે સવારે હું કોબા તીર્થમાં ગયો હતો અને ત્યાં કેતનભાઈ શાહ સાથે વાત થઈ. પુસ્તકો આપવા માટે તેઓ તૈયાર છે પણ તે માટે આમાં એક પ્રક્રિયાનું પાલન કરવું પડે છે એટલે આપણી પ્રવૃત્તિ વિશે એક મેઈલ મોકલવો પડશે. આ મેઈલનો ઢાંચો હું નીચે જોડું છું. આપના સુચનો ટિપ્પણીમાં લખવા. આ કામ આજે રાત સુધીમાં પતાવવાનો હેતુ છે.

ફેરફાર કરોજય જિનેન્દ્ર કેતનભાઈ,
તારીખ ૨૨મી ઓક્ટોબર, શનિવારના રોજ કોબા તીર્થ ખાતે આપની સાથે મુલાકાત થઈ. આપે ગુજરાતી વિકિસમુદાય વડે ચાલતી પ્રવૃત્તિઓ જાણી અને તેમાં રસ દાખવ્યો તે બદલ આનંદ થયો. આપે જણાવ્યા મુજબ આ મેઇલમાં હું અમારો હેતુ, કોબા તીર્થ પાસેથી સહયોગની અપેક્ષા અને કરવા માટેની પ્રવૃત્તિઓ જણાવું છું.
ગુજરાતી વિકિસમુદાય એ સ્વયંસેવકોનો સમૂહ છે જે કોઈ પણ જાતના નફા વગર ગુજરાતી વિકિપીડિયા, વિકિસ્ત્રોત વગેરે જેવા પ્રકલ્પો ચલાવે છે. આ પૈકી ગુજરાતી વિકિસ્ત્રોત એક મુકત જ્ઞાનસ્ત્રોત છે જેમાં કોપીરાઇટ સિવાયની કૃતિઓને અમે પ્રકાશિત કરીએ છીએ. આપને આ પૈકી ઝવેરચંદ મેઘાણી, ગાંધીજી, શ્રીમદ્ રાજચંદ્ર, રમણલાલ દેસાઈ જેવા વ્યક્તિઓની લેખિત અને શ્રાવ્ય કૃતિઓ પણ બતાવી છે. જેવું કે આપને જણાવ્યું કે આ કૃતિઓનો ઉપયોગ કોઈ સંશોધનકર્તા કરી શકે તથા કોઈ સામાન્ય વાચક પણ કરી શકે. આપને જાણીને અચરજ થશે કે ગુજરાતી વિકિસ્ત્રોતની સાઇટને વર્ષે આશરે ૧૭ લાખ (મહિને લગભગ ૧.૫ લાખ) લોકો જુએ છે. અમે આ પ્રકલ્પમાં વધુમાં વધુ પુસ્તકોને ઉપલબ્ધ કરાવવા ઇચ્છીએ છીએ, જેથી બહોળા પ્રમાણમાં સમગ્ર વિશ્વમાં ગુજરાતી બોલતા અને વાંચી શકતા લોકો આ જ્ઞાનનો લાભ લઈ શકે અને પોતાનું જીવન સુધારી શકે. દરેક પુસ્તકને તેનો વાચક મળે તે અમારો એક હેતુ છે.
કોબા તીર્થમાં જૂનાં, અપ્રાપ્ય, અને સારાં એવાં પુસ્તકોનો ભંડાર છે. એક, આ પૈકી જેનો પ્રકાશનાધિકાર સમાપ્ત થઈ ગયો હોય તેવાં પુસ્તકોને અમે સ્કેન કરીને અપલોડ કરવા માંગીએ છીએ. તે માટે અમારા સ્વયંસેવકો આપના સ્થાને આવીને પણ કામ કરી શકે અથવા તો આપ જો તેમને ઇસ્યુ કરી આપો તો તેઓ ઘરે નિરાંતે જઈને પણ કાર્ય કરી શકે અને પછી પુસ્તકને પરત કરી શકે. બે, જો આપની પાસે સીધાં સ્કેન કરેલાં આવાં પુસ્તકો કે હસ્તપ્રતો હોય, જેને ઓપન સોર્સમાં મૂકી શકતાં હોય, તો તેને પણ અમે અમારી સાઇટ ઉપર સીધાં અપલોડ કરીશું તથા પ્રૂફરીડ કરીને તેને લખાણ રૂપે મૂકીશું. આ માટે જો આપને કોઈ ચાર્જ લેવો હોય તો તે પણ અમે આપીશું. ત્રણ, જો આપ સ્વયંસેવકોને અમારી સાથે જોડી શકતાં હોય તો અમે આપના દ્વારા રેકર્ડ કરેલાં કોપીરાઇટ મુક્ત પુસ્તકોને પણ લોકો સુધી પહોંચાડીશું.
આ હેતુસર અમે કોબા તીર્થ સાથે એક જોડાણ કરવા માંગીએ છીએ. આપની અનુકૂળતા અને સગવડ મુજબ આપ અમને સહાય કરો તેવી અમારી અપેક્ષા છે. આપ આ વિશે ચર્ચા-વિચારણા કરી આપનો અભિપ્રાય જણાવશો.
આપને કોઈ પ્રશ્ન હોય તો તમે તેને પૂછી શકો.

૪) સંસ્થા દ્વારા લેન્ડિગ લાયબ્રેરીના નિયમો પ્રમાણે મર્યાદિત દિવસોની મુદત માટે બે કે ચાર પુસ્તકો જ મળતા હોય તો આ નિયમોમાં છૂટછાટ આપવાની ભલામણ પણ કરશો જેથી જે તે સભ્યને ઓછી મુલાકાતોમાં સ્કેન માટે જરૂરી સાહિત્ય પૂરતા પ્રમાણમાં અને વધુ સમય માટે મળી રહે.
મને વિશ્વાસ છે કે આપે ઉપર મુજબના સંદર્ભની બાબતો શ્રીમાન કેતનભાઈ સાથેની ચર્ચામાં સમાવિષ્ટ કરી જ હશે આમ છતાં મારા તરફથી આપનું ધ્યાન દોરું છું. વધુમાં આપશ્રીએ તહેવારના દિવસોમાં પરિવાર સાથે મળેલા ખૂબ જ અલ્પ સમયમાંથી પણ ઉપરોક્ત કાર્ય માટે સમય ફાળવીને વિકિસ્રોતને મદદરૂપ થવા ઉઠાવેલી જહેમત બદલ આપને અભિનંદન પાઠવી આભાર પ્રકટ કરું છું. --સ્નેહરશ્મિ ૧૭:૦૩, ૨૨ ઓક્ટોબર ૨૦૨૨ (IST)
