Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct
[edit]Hello everyone,
The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee is requesting comments regarding the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). This review period will be open from 8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.
The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas:
- To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
- To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
- To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
- To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by 8 October 2022. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.
Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta, and a comparison page in some languages.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revisions Guideline Talk Page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines; please see Meta times and details: Conversation hours
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published here.

UCoC Community Review is Closed
[edit]Thank you for participating in the review of the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). The UCoC project team and the Revisions Committee appreciate you all taking the time to discuss the guidelines, suggest changes, and ask questions.
This community review period lasted from 8 September 2022 to 8 October 2022.

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions
[edit]Hello all,
During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.
With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.
The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:
- Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
- Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
- North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.
On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.
Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.

Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct
[edit]Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.
How to vote?
Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

- Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
- Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
- Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
- Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

בקשת מחיקה
[edit]הי, בעבר ביקשתי למחוק את הקובץ הזה. קיבלתי סירוב. האדם המצולם בו, עודד, יצר איתי שוב קשר וביקש ממני באופן חד משמעי ומפורש להסיר את התמונה. טעיתי בשיקול הדעת כשהעלתי אותה וזה לא היה על דעתו. אשמח לסיוע מיידי שלכם בנושא, כיוון שהוא עומד, להבנתי, בתנאים המוסריים למחיקה, ואני מסתבך עם האופן הטכני בו אני אמור לבקש מחיקה. תודה. אורי ברקת (talk) 13:56, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee
[edit]Hello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.
The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.
Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.
Best,
RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 15:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

בקשה להרשאת AWB
[edit]היי Geagea, בזמן האחרון אני נתקל ביותר ויותר קבוצות של מאות קבצים שלא נמצאים בקטגוריות המתאימות להם (בעיקר קבצים מאתר גאליקה), שאין לי אפשרות להכניס אותם לקטגוריות המתאימות בצורה ידנית, אז ביקשתי ב־Commons:Requests for rights הרשאה ל־AWB. הבקשה בסדר? צריך להוסיף לה משהו (נניח ידע בתכנות)? פעמי-עליון (talk) 18:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- פעמי-עליון, יש לנו שני כלים נוספים בנושא הזה והם פתוחים לכולם. הראשון הוא cat-a-lot. וכלי Visual File Change. ההבדל בינו לבין AWB הוא שהאחרון פועל כבוט ומי שבהגדרות שלו סימן שלא יציג כעריכות בוט. העריכות הללו לא יופיעו לו ברשימת המעקב. בכל אופן, אני לא יודע אם מדובר בידע בתכנות אבל צריך איזשהו מושג בתוכנה הזו. אין דרישה להציג הבנה בתוכנה. ההנחה היא שאם אתה מבקש אז יש לך מושג. אלא אם מישהו ישאל באופן מפורש. -- Geagea (talk) 11:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

בחירת חברי חבר הנאמנים של קרן ויקימדיה לשנת 2024
[edit]שלום לכולם,
בשנה זו תסתיים כהונתם של ארבעה חברים בחבר הנאמנים, שנבחרו על־ידי הקהילה וארגונים שותפים [1]. חבר הנאמנים מזמין את התנועה כולה להשתתף בתהליך הבחירות של שנה זו, ולהצביע כדי למלא את מקומם של הפורשים.
ועדת הבחירות תפקח על התהליך בעזרתם של עובדי הקרן [2]. ועדת הניהול (Governance Committee) של חבר הנאמנים הקימה קבוצת עבודה לבחירות, הכוללת נאמנים שאינם יכולים להציג מועמדות בבחירות 2024 לנציגי הקהילה והארגונים השותפים. בקבוצת העבודה חברים דריוש ימלניאק, נטליה טימקיב, אסרא א־שאפעי, קתי קולינס ושני אבנשטיין סיגלוב [3]. משימתה של הקבוצה לפקח מטעם חבר הנאמנים על תהליך הבחירות ולהעביר מידע לחבר הנאמנים. פרטים נוספים על תפקידיהם של ועדת הבחירות, חבר הנאמנים וסגל העובדים אפשר לקרוא כאן [4].
להלן המועדים החשובים המתוכננים:
- מאי 2024: קול קורא להצגת מועמדות ולשאלות
- יוני 2024: הארגונים השותפים יצביעו לבחירת 12 מועמדים לרשימה המצומצמת (שלב הרשימה המצומצמת לא יתקיים אם רק 15 מועמדים או פחות יציגו את מועמדותם) [5]
- יוני-אוגוסט 2024: תקופת מסע הבחירות
- סוף אוגוסט/תחילת ספטמבר 2024: תקופת ההצבעה של הקהילה שתימשך שבועיים
- אוקטובר-נובמבר 2024: בדיקת רקע למועמדים שנבחרו
- ישיבת חבר הנאמנים בדצמבר 2024: קבלת הנאמנים החדשים
פרטים נוספים על תהליך הבחירות של 2024, כדי לתכנן את צעדיכם, אפשר לקרוא בדף הזה במטא־ויקי, בכלל זה לוח־זמנים מפורט, תהליך הצגת מועמדות, כללי מסע הבחירות והקריטריונים לזכאות להצבעה.
מתנדבי הבחירות
דרך נוספת למעורבות בתהליך הבחירות של 2024 היא להיות מתנדב/ת בחירות. מתנדבי הבחירות הם גשר בין ועדת הבחירות לבין הקהילות שלהם. הם עוזרים להבטיח שהקהילה שלהם מיוצגת ומגייסים את אנשיה להצבעה. פרטים נוספים על התוכנית ועל אופן ההצטרפות אליה בדף מטא־ויקי הזה.
בברכה חמה,

[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles
[5] אף על־פי שמספר המועמדים האידיאלי לבחירת 4 נאמנים הוא 12, תהליך הרשימה המצומצמת יתקיים רק אם יהיו יותר מ־15 מועמדים. זאת משום שהסרת מועמדותם של 1–3 מועמדים עלולה ליצור את הרושם כאילו הם מנודים. כמו כן, הארגונים השותפים יצטרכו להשקיע עבודה רבה בתהליך הרשימה המצומצמת רק כדי להסיר 1–3 מועמדים מהרשימה.

Hello all,
A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call for candidates phase is open from now through July 19, 2024.
The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications in the special election for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.
In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter, there are 9 seats available on the U4C: four community-at-large seats and five regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.
Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.
In cooperation with the U4C,

We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:

Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
