[Wikimedia-l] Celebrating 15 years of Wikimedia Ukraine
Hi all, Today Wikimedia Ukraine, the nonprofit organization that supports Wikipedia and free knowledge in Ukraine, turns 15. We are really grateful to everyone in the Wikimedia movement who've supported us and participated in our projects over the years – whether by lending a hand at the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, by writing about Ukraine on Wikipedia within Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month or CEE Spring, by sharing your experience with us and learning from ours, and in countless other ways. To mark the anniversary, we prepared a brief Diff post listing ten of Wikimedia Ukraine's achievements over the past years & four perspectives about what WMUA means to our volunteers: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/05/31/celebrating-15-years-of-wikimedia-ukraine/ We would love to hear your stories about Wikimedia Ukraine and its projects if you have them. Share your memories on social media with the hashtag #WMUA15 and tag us in your posts – https://x.com/wikimedia_ua; https://www.facebook.com/Wikimedia.Ukraina/; https://www.instagram.com/wikimedia_ukraine/. Hope to see everyone at Wikimania 2030 in Kyiv ;) Best Regards Anton Protsiuk Programs Coordinator at Wikimedia Ukraine ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/WQ6DZAND5Y6DZYFVIFMFBNU64HRABKIO/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org
[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Ukraine's annual report for 2023
Hi all, I’m writing to let you know that Wikimedia Ukraine published and submitted our annual reports for 2023. In 2023 we continued to live under Russia’s full-scale military invasion. On the one hand, the past year was more stable than 2022, and we were able to bring back many of the projects that had to be cancelled at the beginning of the all-out war, as well as start brand-new ones. For example, we brought back Ukraine’s local edition of the Wiki Loves Earth photo contest, as well as CEE Spring and WikiGap article campaigns. On the other hand, the war continued to have a significant negative impact on the Ukrainian wiki community and its capacity, and as a result on Wikimedia Ukraine’s work. At the same time, apart from our traditional programs, we continued work around supporting the community under wartime conditions and expanded to cover Ukrainians abroad e.g. during our annual Wikimarathon campaign. Our full report (in Ukrainian) is available here: https://ua.wikimedia.org/?curid=9363 You can read a Diff post with key highlights in English (and Japanese!) here: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/02/01/wikimedia-ukraines-work-in-2023-in-10-projects/ Other English-language materials that shed light on our work in 2023: * Stories of Ukrainian Wikimedians during the war: https://w.wiki/5ZLi * Our presentations at Wikimania 2023: https://w.wiki/9X3w * Insights from Wikimarathon 2023, a nationwide-turned-worldwide series of events for Ukrainian Wikipedia’s birthday: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/29/35-events-1900-wikipedia-articles-how-wikimedia-ukraine-held-its-annual-wikimarathon-for-wikipedias-birthday-in-2023/ * Short report from Ukraine’s annual Wikiconference: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/11/08/ukraines-annual-wikiconference-brings-over-100-participants-across-three-cities-and-online/ * Results of our first-ever mass open online course for educators: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/10/19/reading-wikipedia-in-the-classroom-in-ukraine-300-teachers-for-now-big-plans-for-the-future/ Best Regards Anton Protsiuk Programs Coordinator at Wikimedia Ukraine ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/7G4YJQIXEBR3FWMEYGITFZ2GBUKJTFIV/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org
[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Ukraine's annual report for 2022
Hi all, I’m writing to let you know that Wikimedia Ukraine published and submitted our annual reports for 2022. Most of the past year was overshadowed by Russia’s all-out invasion of Ukraine, which started in late February. Still, the Ukrainian wiki community and Wikimedia Ukraine have continued active work to advance free knowledge in our country. We supported the community of volunteers during the war and told their stories, helped organize two major international content campaigns (international Wiki Loves Earth + Ukraine’s Cultural Diplomacy Month), held two photo contests and over a dozen article campaigns on the Ukrainian level, led major community events, cooperated with educators and the GLAM community, worked to improve gender balance on Wikipedia, and much more. Our full report (in Ukrainian) is available here: https://ua.wikimedia.org/?curid=8626 You can read a Diff post with key highlights in English here: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/01/18/wikimedia-ukraines-work-in-2022-in-10-projects/ Other English-language materials that shed light on our work in 2022: * Stories of Ukrainian Wikimedians during the war: https://w.wiki/5ZLi * Results of Wiki Loves Monuments in Ukraine 2022: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/04/20/ukraine-presenting-10-winning-pictures-of-wiki-loves-monuments-2022/ * An entry in the education newsletter on our article campaign for educators devoted to secondary school curriculum subjects: https://w.wiki/68uC * And finally, a look at our cutest project :) – https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/03/13/wikimedia-ukraines-cutest-project-rewarding-most-active-wikipedians-with-real-life-tins-of-condensed-milk/ Best Regards Anton Protsiuk Programs Coordinator at Wikimedia Ukraine ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/7N7JL52EGB77C6KQTGG26CY4AMNXQX5Q/ To unsubscribe send an email to wikimedia-l-le...@lists.wikimedia.org
[Wikimedia-l] Re: ChatGPT as a reliable source
Hi Kiril, Thanks for raising an interesting topic. On the first question – ChatGPT obviously shouldn't be used as a reliable source; for various reasons, but primarily because it's a text generator that tends to confidently present completely factually incorrect information. Even the notion of "consulting ChatGPT" when writing an article shouldn't be used. (Though I believe that it can be beneficial for supplementary tasks when used with caution, such as helping proofread text & spot spelling mistakes). On the second question – there's a lot of active discussion on this topic on English Wikipedia. I mostly haven't followed it, but can point you to this draft policy (and, of course, its talk page): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Large_language_models Best Regards Anton Protsiuk On Wed, May 17, 2023 at 10:22 AM David Gerard wrote: > I've mentioned AI text generators on English Wikipedia's Reliable > Sources Noticeboard a couple of times, and the consensus each time has > been that it's obvious that this rubbish absolutely doesn't belong in > en:wp in any manner.

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Ukraine's annual report for 2021
Hi all, I'm writing to highlight that Wikimedia Ukraine's annual activity report for 2021 has been publicly available on Meta [1]. In 2021, we continued to execute our multi-year strategy [2], which includes five directions – enriching content of Wikipedia and its sister projects, increasing participation in the Wikimedia projects, supporting and helping develop the existing community, increasing public awareness about Wikimedia, and advocating for policy changes needed to advance free knowledge (notably freedom of panorama in Ukraine). Some of the highlights in 2021 include supporting the Wiki Loves Earth photo competition on the international scale; holding a big Wiki Loves Monuments in Ukraine contest; organizing multiple campaigns to bridge gender gap on Ukrainian-language Wikipedia and Wikiquote; publishing a handbook on Wikipedia for teachers as part of our Wikipedia in Education program; holding a hybrid all-Ukrainian Wikiconference; working with news media publishers & supporting multiple social media channels to spread awareness of Wikipedia and WMUA's projects. If you are interested in reading about some of the case studies in greater detail, we published articles on Diff about our experience organizing the WikiGap 2021 campaign in Ukraine [3], as well as providing scholarships for online conferences [4]. All of that happened before the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which started in February of 2022. Despite Russia continuing to wage its war against Ukraine, Wikimedia Ukraine has kept operating in 2022 – both assisting community members in need and supporting previously planned projects like Wiki Loves Earth internationally, Wiki Loves Monuments in Ukraine, and much more. We will share a detailed report on our 2022 activity in early 2023, but in the meantime you can review slides from our presentations on the Ukrainian community during the war [5] and Wikimedia Ukraine's approach to planning our future activities [6], as well as read some of the personal stories of volunteers affected by Russia's invasion [7].

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Wikimania program is now live
Hi, The quality of proposals has been high, but there has been a deliberate decision to try and keep the formal program manageable for participants. >From the Wikimania wiki (more here: https://w.wiki/5YcU): *>We learned from last year that the number of tracks resulted in sessions where there were very few people participating or watching them, which can cause frustration to presenters. We also learned that people needed more breaks. We had to work those in, which removed time from the program. This year we are experimenting with a hybrid format, with some sessions taking place in-person in different parts of the world. We wanted to give rooms for these experiments, even if they don’t necessarily compete with the online program.* That said, the number of sessions accepted is actually not very different from last year's. Besides, folks are invited to contribute to the on-demand – program https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2022_on_demand_program – and schedule their own meetups outside of the formal program.

[Wikimedia-l] Re: [Wikimedia Announcements] Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month: We are back in 2022!
Hi. We at Wikimedia Ukraine are preparing a longer response to the concerns raised here, but in brief: * The challenge overall and the CentralNotice campaign in particular were planned long before, as a general effort to enrich Wikipedia on Ukraine-related topics, not as a specific political statement. Its first edition was held last year within similar dates and advertised similarly. Its idea first emerged back in 2018, and we've been actively working to organize it since 2020. * The challenge is supported by the Ukrainian government, but it has no influence on the content of articles, and neither does Wikimedia Ukraine. All participants have to follow relevant Wikipedia rules. Organizers only provide suggested topics for the challenge and prizes for most active participants (dependent on the level of activity, not the content of articles they created), as well as contribute to promotion efforts. Hopefully, we'll be able to ship physical prizes despite the Russian aggression; otherwise, we'll find other ways to award winners. * On a personal note – advancing free knowledge by creating and expanding Wikipedia articles is a powerful tool to fight authoritarianism and unfreedom. Regardless of whether you want to support Ukraine (as I think the world should do), developing free knowledge in all ways compatible with Wikipedia principles and rules is the goal we're all united around.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world
Thanks for your work, Yaroslav! Although this challenge is obviously not focused on the specific problem you mentioned, we do pay attention to improving articles in general. For example, as noted in the announcement, we have prepared the list of most important stubs for each CEE language edition: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2021/Structure/Ukraine/Stubs The contest in general is also not focused only on creating new articles, though specifics might depend on each language edition. For example, in the Ukrainian-language edition of the contest, which ran throughout April, we were trying to incentivize improvement of existing articles in various ways; we'll try to share lessons learned with the international community once the results are ready.

Hi everyone! By the end of May, we at Wikimedia Ukraine invite everyone to join CEE Spring (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2021) to help discover Ukraine to the world.

Of course, you can write about many different CEE countries and regions within the contest, but we at Wikimedia Ukraine are planning to send special souvenirs for most active contributors to articles about Ukraine specifically ;) For the first time, we prepared the top-10 most important articles about Ukraine that are missing (red links) for each CEE Wikipedia ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=11313069) and the top-10 important articles that are too short for each CEE Wikipedia ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=11313068).

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Ukraine's Highlights of 2019
Hi all, and happy holidays to everyone who celebrates them now. We at Wikimedia Ukraine are wrapping up the year, and we decided to look back at our biggest highlights and achievements in 2019. In 2019, we celebrated our 10th anniversary, developed a long-term strategy — and continued to develop all our landmark projects and programs, such as Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wikipedia Education Program, fight for the freedom of panorama in Ukraine, and much more. Check a detailed article on our blog — https://wikimediaukraine.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/wmua-2019-en Best, Anton Protsiuk Project Manager at Wikimedia Ukraine ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
[Wikimedia-l] She Did It — Writing Challenge Devoted to Ukrainian Women
Hi all, Wikimedia Ukraine is organizing an international Wikipedia writing challenge aimed to improve worldwide coverage of Ukrainian women — https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/She_Did_It. The marathon has already started and will run for a week — by the end of October 11th. Please help counter the gender content gap on Wikipedia and showcase the achievements of Ukrainian women. You can create and expand articles in any language (other than Ukrainian as there's a separate marathon for Ukrainian Wikipedia). The rules and the scoring system are inspired by WikiGap Challenge, so they might be familiar to some of you :) Prizes are premium Grammarly subscriptions for most active contributors (and, of course, our warm love and deep gratitude for everyone who participates). Please join the challenge and, of course, help spread the word about it. Thanks!
