Hi all,
We have been receiving tens of subscription to our mailing list (
wikimedia...@lists.wikimedia.org) from aol.com addresses. Today alone we
have received over 30 subscription from that domain addresses and we find
this very problematic. I'll need the help of a more experienced list

Hello Fae,
Thank you for sharing your experience with micro-grants and offering an
experimental and responsive procedure. It's definitely a good model to
consider. As we enter our planning year for the strategic direction our
team will be soliciting ideas from the community and looking at differen
Hello Strainu,
Thank you for bringing the wording on our meta page to my attention. I will
be updating the page with the new changes effective July 1st. Yes, we are
instituting the application window of 1st - 15th of the month to facilitate
a quicker response time. As I mentioned in my previous em
The whole framing of this question is misguided. There are lots of
people whose work is undervalued on Wikipedia for a lot of reasons.
If there is an effort to reach out to a particular group of volunteers
that is underrepresented then that should be celebrated as a positive
contribution to our p
The main reason we have virus outbreaks is the way a lot of users click on
email attachments and on programs they have just downloaded from the net.
Users are warned time and time again, but they do it anyway. Once we get a
large enough base of desktop linux users, we will have the same problems.
"Imagine a world, where all windows installations have turned off their
antivirus protection"!

Hi,
I usually push diversity in any situation but only after I got a core quality
group of volunteer. the first degree of diversity is the diversity based on
wiki activity, IMHO.. I care about the rest and I try to be honest if I go in
that direction and why I do that. If anyone is offended for
Shlomi,
I believe that the problem is with your particular brand of antivirus,
eventhough they all block a bit more or less to prevent certain risks.
Nevertheless, making an extrapolation to every antivirus from the
experience with only one brand, and concluding "they do more harm than
good" base
Hi Everyone,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed this Tuesday, May 8,

been said, I imagine that there are still more people using Windows XP than
there are people using Linux. Last time I checked (october 2017) it was
something like 5% using XP and less than 1% using linux, all distros

I have been a Linux advocate for almost a decade now and from 'my past
experience', I can tell you have opened a topic of a huge discussion about
people should switch to Linux Desktops (which is off-topic here). But I
respectfully disagree with your statement, "anti-virus programs usually do

Yes I totally agree with this. The problem is actually two-fold; we lack
the women contributors, and the current notability rules cause us to talk
in circles about how to protect new female contributors from being put off
by the systemic bias inherent in our internal processes. You don't have to

Women editors might have something to add about nursing and the history of
nursing that adds gender-specific value, increasing our coverage of the
subject. So a workshop at a nursing convention might be valuable.

You had probably read it correctly.

Women and other unrepresented people are invited to edit, to become skilled in
editing (lots of practice and experience needed), and get well-deserved credit
for excellence, but it is a process. Everyone stumbles at first, the point is

Hoi,
I am adding a page with national politicians from Africa.. When people add
any of them, add their nationality or their terms, it will update in a
Listeria page. Currently there are some twenty countries I follow. The good
news: an interest from people from Nigeria :)
Thanks,
