Anyways, ArbCom has opened (reopened?) the Holocaust in Poland case, likely
due to this journal article.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Results of the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Vote

[Risker]

Just noting in passing that the SecurePoll default for "home wiki" is the
project on which an account made its first edit.  A large number of editors
who would consider their "home wiki" a different project (or even a
different language entirely) made their first edit on English Wikipedia;
the same is true of several of the other "large" Wikipedias.  The extended
statistical information tells us that more than half of all voters met
voting requirements on two or more projects.

It's also noteworthy that the majority of Wikimedia projects have a very
small group of contributors who would meet the voting requirements.Most
editors who work on our smaller projects made their earliest contributions
on a larger project, and that larger project is going to be considered
their "home" wiki.  SecurePoll treats an account's edits wholistically,
rather than project-by-project, and it does not record the location
(wiki/project) from which an account has voted.  It should be noted that
there isn't a lot of data provided with relation to our smaller projects in
the statistical analysis.  This is appropriate as it could impact user
privacy.

As an aside, I am part of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee team
looking at using SecurePoll for some aspects of ratification of the
Charter.  We are already discussing with the team that is responsible for
SecurePoll about some of these issues, such as users being able to select
their "home wiki", results per project, expanding the available
translations, and ways to maintain privacy for contributors to smaller
projects.  We're also watching closely for relevant comments specific to
the use of SecurePoll in this and other elections, and what improvements
Wikimedians (especially those from smaller projects) suggest for
SecurePoll.  Thanks, Xavier, for raising the issue.

[Stella Ng]

Hello Xavier,

Thank you for your email, and sharing your observations and concerns. Many
other movement initiatives face similar challenges. Equitable participation
and engagement are something we are working to improve with each and every
interaction. The UCoC project team has poured a sizable amount of
discussion, planning and energy into outreach to the movement throughout
the process. The goal was to encourage participation from as many
communities as possible.


The ways the UCoC team encouraged participation can be seen through the
results of this work. The Revised Enforcement Guidelines are currently
translated into over 40 languages; voter information, banners, and emails
were also heavily translated. The project team hosted outreach and
conversation hours throughout the drafting process. We have made it a point
to invite and engage with many communities, particularly small and
medium-sized, and it is our goal to continue to ensure that the growing
communities and small language wikis are invited to engage with us. It is
our hope that as we progress, the UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines will
create a better environment that will see more interaction from all
communities.

As we embark on the next steps and stages of this ongoing project, we will
increase engagement, conversations, and interaction with the growing
communities and small language wikis in as many languages, places, and
contexts as possible. The UCoC is an iterative process, and we will be
inviting opinions of how to make it more inclusive as we continue onwards.

Kind regards,

Stella Ng

On Behalf of the UCoC Project Team

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Results of the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Vote

[F. Xavier Dengra i Grau via Wikimedia-l]

Hi/Bona vesprada,

Without meaning at all that I do not respect the results of this voting, I 
would like to call the attention to the fact that out of 3097 votes, 
practically 2000 are circumscribed to only 4 big home wikis: en.wiki (1000), 
de.wiki (500), fr.wiki (200) and es.wiki (150).

Imho it is somehow concerning that 2/3 of the votes of such a key policy are 
heavily relying on the weight of those major projects. I understand the 
constraints in participation, but it isn't either a trivial value -considering 
how much do we read about the WMF efforts to promote the so-called “Global 
South” communities and the minority language wikis.

There is a great essay on English Wikipedia, ["Wikipedia:Silence does not imply 
consent when drafting new 
policies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Silence_does_not_imply_consent_when_drafting_new_policies)",
 that has a very thoughtful background and that I like very much to remind: 
"Silence implies consensus" is an old standby on Wikipedia. However, with 
regard to new policies and guidelines, this cannot apply, and silence should 
instead imply either indifference or a lack of proper exposure. If a proposal 
produces indifference in the community, it is not necessary. If a proposal has 
not been adequately exposed to the community, there is no just cause for 
implementing it as policy.

Kind regards/Salutacions,

Xavier Dengra

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing the 2023 Ombuds Commission

[Karen Brown]

Hello, everyone.

I'm writing with information about the Ombuds Commission (OC), the small
group of volunteers who investigate complaints about violations of the
privacy policy, and in particular concerning the use of CheckUser and
Oversight tools, on any Wikimedia project for the Board of Trustees. I
apologize for the length of the announcement. :)

The application period for new commissioners for 2023 recently closed. The
Wikimedia Foundation is extremely grateful to the many experienced and
insightful volunteers who offered to assist with this work.

This year’s OC will consist of ten members, with a one-member advisory team
who will guide the new commission and also, if necessary, fill in in the
event that the OC is unable to act due to incapacity or recusal.
