Introducing the Wikimedia public policy site

Hi all,

We are excited to introduce a new Wikimedia Public Policy site. The site includes resources and position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. The site explains how good public policy supports the Wikimedia projects, editors, and mission.

Visit the public policy portal: https://policy.wikimedia.org/

Please help translate the statements on Meta Wiki. You can read more on the Wikimedia blog.

Thanks,

Open call for Individual Engagement Grants

My apologies for posting this message in English. Please help translate it if you can.

Greetings! The Individual Engagement Grants program is accepting proposals until September 29th to fund new tools, community-building processes, and other experimental ideas that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers. Whether you need a small or large amount of funds (up to $30,000 USD), Individual Engagement Grants can support you and your team’s project development time in addition to project expenses such as materials, travel, and rental space.

Thanks,

L'importanza dei riferimenti su Wikidata: provate il primary sources tool con i dati sui calciatori

Cari Wikidatani,

Siete tutti invitati a provare un nuovo strumento per la cura dei dati di Wikidata.
Come ben sapete, i riferimenti a fonti esterne sono di fondamentale importanza per la qualità e la credibilità di un elemento di Wikidata.
Wikidata attualmente ne ha ben poche e la maggior parte deriva da progetti interni a Wikimedia, tipicamente dai vari capitoli di Wikipedia.

Vi domanderete come mai vi porgo l'invito: c'è un piccolo dataset sui calciatori (donato dal sottoscritto) che contiene riferimenti a fonti esterne (non Wiki) in lingua italiana.
Il nuovo strumento è sviluppato da Google e si chiama primary sources tool: che ne dite di giocarci un po' e farmi sapere la vostra?

Ecco la procedura:

  1. Andate nelle preferenze del vostro account Wikidata, sezione accessori (gadget se in inglese);
  2. Spuntate Primary Sources nella sezione Wikidata-centric, salvate;
  3. Nel menù a lista sulla sinistra (sotto il logo di Wikidata) vi apparirà la riga Random Primary Sources Item: cliccate sull'icona dell'ingranaggio;
  4. Selezionate FBK-strephit-soccer, salvate;
  5. Ora potete giocare con questi nuovi dati: cliccate su Random Primary Sources Item o cercate voi un calciatore (ad esempio Andrea Pirlo);
  6. I nuovi dati appariranno in riquadri blu e potrete scegliere se accettare o rifiutare ogni singolo dato.

Infine, la cosa più importante è dire la vostra qui al bar o sulla chat di progetto.

Attendo i vostri pareri!

Ciao,

Only one week left for Individual Engagement Grant proposals!

(Apologies for using English below, please help translate if you are able.)

There is still one week left to submit Individual Engagement Grant (IEG) proposals before the September 29th deadline. If you have ideas for new tools, community-building processes, and other experimental projects that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers, start your proposal today! Please encourage others who have great ideas to apply as well. Support is available if you want help turning your idea into a grant request.

Reimagining WMF grants report

(My apologies for using English here, please help translate if you are able.)

Last month, we asked for community feedback on a proposal to change the structure of WMF grant programs. Thanks to the 200+ people who participated! A report on what we learned and changed based on this consultation is now available.

Come read about the findings and next steps as WMF’s Community Resources team begins to implement changes based on your feedback. Your questions and comments are welcome on the outcomes discussion page.

With thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 16:56, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
