  Hello everyone,

We hope this email finds you well and you are keeping safe amidst the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that has disrupted many activities globally.

The WPWP Campaign
 is now
closed in many countries and we are excited to inform you that the campaign
added photos to more than 80,000

Wikipedia articles in 269 languages and 569 people participated in the
campaign globally.

This is a huge success and the campaign would not have been this successful
without your support. Although, we experienced some difficulties during the
campaign but that is not uncommon for a new campaign, especially a campaign
that involves editing the main space in multiple languages Wikipedia.

We are documenting our learning and community feedback. We strongly believe
they would be useful for improving the next edition of the campaign.

We plan to constitute the International Jury Team this week and if you
would like to join us in coordinating the Jury, please email the
International Organizing Team at wpwp-organiz...@lists.wikimedia.org

Thanks for all your contributions to the WPWP Campaign this year.

With best regards,
Isaac Olatunde
Project Manager and Global Coordinator
WPWP Campaign.

[Wikimedia-l] Notice of Postponement of Wiki Indaba 2019

2018-11-14 Thread kayode yussuf via Wikimedia-l 
 Dear Community members,
We regret to inform you that WikiIndaba 2019 expected to take place in Abuja, 
Nigeria will be postponed till later in the year.
This decision was reached after advise from International SOS, the Wikimedia 
Foundation’s travel insurance and security advisors, who had been monitoring 
the security risk in Nigeria for the last several months. Due to the increase 
in security crackdowns, associated risk of violence to bystanders, and the 
proposed timing of the conference (January 18 - 20) being so close to the 
national elections (February 16), we have decided to delay the conference to 
later in the year for the safety of all conference attendees.
While the expected  dates for Wiki Indaba 2019 will be announced as soon as 
possible, please plan tentatively for sometime in June/July 2019, pending the 
improvement of security in Nigeria post national elections. 
The Wikimedia Foundation and the Wiki Indaba 2019 Local Organizing Committee 
regret any inconvenience this may cause as we place the safety and security of 
community members as high priority and will keep the community updated on the 
new dates.
Thank you.

What! that is terrible. I fondly remember talking (& sometimes having
friendly arguments) with Craig at various Wikimedia conferences and events
over the years, and seeing him around the English Wikipedia as an editor &
admin since way back (2004). A loss for his family and friends, and for our
movement.

Thanks for passing on the news, & my condolences to all of his friends.
