For example, I would really like to find out about materials for teaching VE and a number of other things, but there seems no place on this outreach wiki for this kind of outreach (or indeed any kind of outreach that doesn't fall under the existing GLAM or Education). [[User:Kerry Raymond|Kerry Raymond]] ([[User talk:Kerry Raymond|talk]]) 01:38, 13 March 2016 (UTC) : Yeah I acknowledge the same issue. It is also happening so with Wikimedia Ukraine activities, IMHO: trainings are usually put under either GLAM ("oh we have this workshop in a library so why don't we call it GLAM-Wiki") or Education ("well we are teaching people something here, so why can't it be an Education event") umbrella though it is not always that they actually are about cooperation with GLAM institutions or creating content as part of educational process. Any idea how to wedge it between those?

My impression is that there might be a case to have the main page feature some of the amazing up-to-date cases, posts, etc. our community produces.

Therefore any terms used here are mainly intended for Wikipedia, but, due to this, the nature of the request requires it to be proposed here. NOTE: Sorry if the English is a little bad. I come by means of this proposal that we move to create a partnership between Kindle (Amazon's library) and Wikipedia Lusophone. Benefits: Access to thousands of books, which could help reference thousands of Lusophone Wikipedia articles (Nazism, Mao Tse Tung etc.) and makes it easier to find sources for articles from any wikipedia. Like any proposal, this one also has some flaws, they are: Possible deviation from the end (ie users can use the Kindle for their own benefit, reading books but not using them as a quote). To correct this, we could give administrators, self-reviewers and bureaucrats access to books. But we created another problem with this, we would be "barring" non-users, self-reviewers, bureaucrats and administrators from having access to books. Solution: create a tab to request access to the Kindle. Administrators / bureaucrats can evaluate requests with "support" and "not support" (just as is done with self-review requests). Below is a summary of what I propose for better understanding. Proposal: Create a partnership between Kindle (Amazon's subscription library) and Wikipedia. Proposal 2: Grant free access to Kindle for Administrators, Self-Reviewers and Bureaucrats. Proposal 3: Create a tab for requests for access to the Kindle for those "outside" these groups (exactly as it is done to obtain self-review status). Purpose of the proposal: To use the books available on Kindle to reference Wikipedia articles. OBS: I emphasize that this proposal is mainly aimed at Wikipedia, but as this request is of a more complex nature I had to do it here. OBS 2: I understand that it can be very complicated to achieve this, but it is easy to try. If it works out we can expand our reliability and reliability even more, and we can reference many contents of this wonderful project, which is Wikipedia: The free encyclopedia. OBS 3: If this place is not the right place to make this proposal, I ask you to guide me.

We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well. Summary: <div style="font-style:italic;"> We will be running the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey|Community Wishlist Survey]] 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes]]. </div> === Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year === In the past, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Tech|Community Tech]] team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021|Wishlist for 2021]] in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published. However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2020|Wishlist for 2020]]. We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist. === Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities === We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes. === A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet === We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Community Wishlist Survey|talk page]], but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe. We will begin our first meeting '''September 15th at 23:00 UTC'''. More details about the agenda and format coming soon! === Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase === If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox]]. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes! === Feedback === * What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages? * How would you like to use our new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|sandbox?]] * What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022? * What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

Due to Outreach having limited readership and visibility within the movement, our community newsletters don’t always receive the attention they deserve. To address this, we’re working with our colleagues in the Movement Communications team to migrate the ''This month in GLAM newsletter'' '''from Outreach to [[m:Main Page|Meta-Wiki]]'''. Both teams are working on this task in the next few weeks in order to: #Increase visibility and participation in the GLAM newsletter. #Ensure the GLAM community has a place (Meta-Wiki) where they feel seen, engaged, and supported by the Wikimedia community, partners, and Foundation. #Increase the amount of multilingual (or translatable) content to engage contributors from other languages and more regions. This activity already has the support of the newsletter’s main editors. It was also already announced in [[GLAM/Newsletter/October 2021/Contents/WMF GLAM report|this October report]] in the newsletter, on social media, and on some mailing lists. The migration of the report pages, talk pages, categories, and templates will happen from '''November 19th to 30th'''. This period is important to accommodate the migration before the reports from next month. Any other modifications or corrections will be made before '''December 15th'''. If you have any questions or ideas about the migration, please contact the GLAM & Culture team at glam{{@}}wikimedia.org and the community editors at thismonthinglam{{@}}gmail.com. --[[User:GFontenelle (WMF)|GFontenelle (WMF)]] ([[User talk:GFontenelle (WMF)|talk]]) 19:04, 17 November 2021 (UTC) :{{ping|GFontenelle (WMF)|Romaine|Wittylama|Missvain|Rock drum|Carriearchdale}} Well, this is not done the ''wiki way''. The GLAM newsletter is, and I quote from the [[GLAM/Newsletter/About|About section]]: "a community-driven, monthly newsletter written by the Wikimedia movement about activities with cultural institutions broadly defined". This is not a WMF-led initiative, and important decisions should not be handled top-down by the WMF and without consultation to contributors. :I do not disagree with moving the newsletter to a project with more visibility, '''BUT''' this simply cannot happen so fast. This is an impactful change, and I see no plan --or to be even more modest, no concern-- about how this impacts negatively Wikimedians on the ground and how negative impacts will be mitigated. From our perspective, moving from outreach.wikimedia means we will need to review dozens of content pages and even printed resources that link directly to the GLAM newsletter on outreach.wikimedia. What kind of support is provided for reviewing content? Will there be automated redirects? Is this a change in editorial lead and the GLAM newsletter is now being managed by the WMF? Why was there no on-wiki consultation with editors and contributors? :I have been a newsletter editor for Brazil for years now, and I can definitely say I have not been consulted about this speed change, and I am really confused about what is happening here and the impact this will have on our work. I strongly oppose this change as is, and I am pinging editors for the newsletter (as listed [[GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom|here]]) to also understand from their perspective why this change is happening in such a pace and with no broader consultation to the community. Thanks. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 11:06, 19 November 2021 (UTC) ::Hi [[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]], Thank you for your commitment to the GLAM newsletter! As usual WMF is not so good in describing the full perspective that is needed for community members to understand what is happening, but let me try to give some answers. ::Basically there are two communities active on Outreach wiki: education and GLAM. A few years ago many of the GLAM program leaders of the affiliates had a meeting in Paris where this topic already was discussed. The conclusion was that moving to Meta would not be an issue and is fine. In March of 2021 there was also a discussion among the Wikipedia & Education User Group. So within the GLAM and education communities there seems to be some agreement on moving. Now WMF takes this move in hand and has decided to go for it. ::Last week me and Liam had a meeting with WMF about this topic, in what WMF told us about the plan. In this meeting (and afterwards) I have tried to look at all the risks and possible problems, and I have indicated that if the move takes place what in my opinion should happen. All the things I mentioned seemed to be part of their plan and/or have been adopted into it. I have multiple experiences with moving content from one wiki to another, so I think I can foresee for a large part what risks and possible problems can occur. However, I would be happy to learn from you and others what risks you possible foresee, so those risks can be mitigated. ::One of the things that I indicated to be needed is that, after all content has been moved to meta, is that outreach becomes an alias that redirects to Meta. Maybe you don't know, but this has been done before. Originally Wikipedia started not on wikipedia.org but on wikipedia.com. So if you link to https://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Knowledge you automatically end up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge . The same should happen to Outreach, if someone links to https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/June_2021/Contents/Brazil_report, you automatically will get to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/June_2021/Contents/Brazil_report (not yet there, with the import it will come there). So all the links made in offline publications, websites, etc should still be working after the move has been completed. ::Another thing that is important is that the full history of all the pages is moved with the pages. This is possible thanks to the import function. This makes sure that all the editors in the page history are also still their in the history on Meta. ::The GLAM newsletter is written by the community and published by me. I have no signals that this would change. To be more clear: <u>all the content</u> from Outreach wiki is going to be moved to Meta. So for example also the Education newsletter will be moved to Meta too. (I <s>am</s> was also the publisher of the Education newsletter, and thanks to miscommunication by WMF I am kicked out of the publishing team which is now published by other volunteers. But that has nothing to do with the move from Outreach to Meta.) ::Based on the first message here above I understand that it raises concerns, but I hope that with this background information you get a better picture of what is upcoming. I also can say that I am following the process with all the steps by WMF very carefully in close details, as I want to avoid any problems and want to make sure the impact on the community is as limited as possible. ::If there are any concerns or questions, please raise them! [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 00:56, 20 November 2021 (UTC) :::{{ping|Romaine}} Thank you for your response. This makes more sense, and the initial communication about the migration was indeed very misleading. To mitigate risks about breaking all links in our outreach materials I request a pilot is done under community supervision. This means that only part of the content would be migrated initially and then we check if the redirects are working. Is this possible? I am told by a Wikimedia friend who is tech savvy it is not so easy to crosswiki redirect if the whole page domain is not shut down. And of course thanks you for all you do for the movement; it gives me more trust in the process knowing that you and Liam are involved. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 12:29, 20 November 2021 (UTC) ::::Hi [[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]], I suspect that is not technically possible as the full domain gets redirected. A full domain redirecting is easy, only redirecting a group of pages would mean that somehow it is programmed that only those pages get redirected, which does not seem easy to be done.

In the last few weeks, we have contacted and met with the newsletter editors because we wanted to help with the migration, especially as we wanted to help turn the newsletter more accessible, read, and edited by a broader number of contributors. And this seemed like a good moment to finally do that, as we now have the support capacity at the Foundation to respond to the request and the community has had an agreement on the subject for years. ::::::{{Quote|“this simply cannot happen so fast”}} ::::::It has been happening for a while if you consider the fact that this is something the community has been looking forward to for years. However, especially, we have contacted the GLAM newsletter editors ([[User:Romaine|Romaine]], [[User:Wittylama|Wittylama]], [[User:Missvain|Missvain]], [[User:Rock drum|Rock drum]], [[User:Carriearchdale|Carriearchdale]]) in October and, since then, have been in conversations with them to understand the best way to accomplish this migration. ::::::The GLAM team also announced it [[GLAM/Newsletter/October 2021/Contents/WMF GLAM report|in the GLAM newsletter in October]] and, per another suggestion, we also let the Meta community know [[m:Meta:Babel#This_Month_in_GLAM_newsletter_migration_from_Outreach_to_Meta|on Babel]]. ::::::{{Quote|"This is an impactful change, and I see no plan --or to be even more modest, no concern-- about how this impacts negatively Wikimedians on the ground and how negative impacts will be mitigated.”}} ::::::The plan has been discussed with the newsletter editors and we have shared our concerns, questions, and doubts about the migration in that process. ::::::More than that, this effort is to ensure that the workflow of the authors of the newsletter is not affected. It is important to notice that this also gives the community more optional features, most notably translation, and visual editor support. ::::::We want to move everything in the newsletter over and set up redirects to Meta. We're also making sure the page history is moved as well so we can keep that alive. The focus is moving over the pages and templates so we can publish the next edition of the newsletter on Meta, while we work on moving over the archives and redirects too. Romaine has [[m:Meta:Requests_for_adminship#Requests_for_bot_flags|asked for a bot flag]] to help with this. [[User:CKoerner (WMF)|CKoerner (WMF)]] created [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296091 a phabricator task] for input from our technical community for good measure. ::::::As editors and contributors of the GLAM newsletter, you can rest easy that everything will be moved properly, with the right redirects. No one in the community will lose content, no page or link will be erased, nothing will be lost. No content will be inaccessible for any amount of time. The content should be accessible at all times. ::::::While this migration will move a substantial amount of information and activity from Outreach to Meta, the deprecation of Outreach wiki is not in the scope of this work. ::::::{{Quote|“From our perspective, moving from outreach.wikimedia means we will need to review dozens of content pages and even printed resources that link directly to the GLAM newsletter on outreach.wikimedia. What kind of support is provided for reviewing content? Will there be automated redirects? Is this a change in editorial lead and the GLAM newsletter is now being managed by the WMF?”}} ::::::It won’t be necessary to review content pages. The redirects will happen. And lastly, as this is very important to highlight, there won’t be a change in the editorial lead of the newsletter and WMF will not manage the newsletter’s content in any way. This was never implied in any way or form. ::::::In the GLAM newsletter migration, we have been working with Romaine since the start, with his supervision, to make this entire process right and all our efforts are specifically to ensure that the workflows of the authors of the newsletter are not affected. ::::::Lastly, I would like to make Romaine’s words above mine: I would also be happy to learn from you and others what risks you possibly foresee, so those risks can be mitigated. We are ready to make this migration as smooth as possible for everyone.--[[User:GFontenelle (WMF)|GFontenelle (WMF)]] ([[User talk:GFontenelle (WMF)|talk]]) 03:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC) ::{{Ping|Romaine}} As I implicitly mentioned above, when was this discussed with the community here? How was a consensus reached to shut down and redirect Outreach? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 18:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC) :::Hi [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], What I know I wrote down in my earlier message. I think WMF has seen agreement within the group of GLAM program leaders and this has been spoken about in the Education group. I think WMF has considered that to be sufficient consensus and high in the hierarchy they have decided to close Outreach Wiki and centralise all the GLAM and Education materials on one wiki: Meta. As from various websites, social media and offline materials Outreach pages have been linked directly, it would be highly problematic to simply close Outreach wiki as this has been done with many other wikis. Therefore the obvious conclusion to keep materials reachable and editable without any extra effort for the readers and users is to setup domain redirecting. I also think WMF has decided to take this step because the "''Communications Department at the Foundation conducted research in January 2021 to understand how the Foundation can help make stronger movement communications a reality.''"^{[[m:Movement communications insights|source]]} and published [[m:Movement communications insights/Report|this report]]. One of the recommendations is to "''Invest more in centralizing and storing movement information''"^{[[m:Movement communications insights/Report|source]]}. What I understand is that among the movement content is spread over various wikis, which results in that the documentation is hard to find, less used, resulting in a lot of potential not being used because it is so fragmented. This I already concluded myself a decade ago, GLAM program leaders have come to that same conclusion a few years ago, and finally WMF has come to that conclusion as well. :::You ask if the decision was "discussed with the community here". That is a contradictio in terminis and a tricky question as the largest part of the users that edit this wiki, Education program leaders and GLAM program leaders, which I consider to be the core of the community that use this wiki, do not follow what is going on on this wiki. So discussing it "here" would mean that the few editors on Outreach are asked, but not the majority of the people involved is asked. :::I am not so happy about how the process is going, nor the communication, but to me it is clear WMF has made this decision, just as WMF has taken many decisions in the past decade without asking for community input. Even the founding of Outreach Wiki was by a stand alone decision of WMF and bypassing the community. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 23:39, 25 November 2021 (UTC) ::::{{Ping|Romaine}} You think it is a "contradiction in terms" to ask the community who edits here for their feedback about shutting down the wiki? That speaks volumes. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 01:33, 26 November 2021 (UTC) :::::Hi [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], Can you please try to read what I tried to say, instead of your interpretation of what I said? What I tried to say is that only a very small portion of the people who create the Educational and GLAM content actual reads the village pump, etc, so suggesting that creating a discussion here so the Education and GLAM community, who use this wiki, can have a discussion is hardly going to work to get a representative input. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 01:49, 26 November 2021 (UTC) ::::::{{Ping|Romaine}} Okay, can you do the same and appreciate the point that ''I'' am making? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 05:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC) ::::::::Hi [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], I think I understand your point, but you may correct me if I am wrong. I believe you try to say that the community needs to make such a decision. I believe in the strengths of the community, but that is I think not the full situation. The question is who has the right to make big decisions. In think there are two parties who can: 1. WMF as they own the platforms, 2. the community who maintains the content on the wiki. So far I know there has been no agreement in the movement who has the right to decide on what. This causes frequently troubles when WMF decides things that the community claims or when WMF communicates terribly. I personally would favour the community to decide on this subject. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 06:54, 3 December 2021 (UTC) :::::::{{Ping|GFontenelle (WMF)}} "this was discussed and agreed years ago": when? When was the community here engaged in this? What Romaine mentions is an email thread from ''this'' year which says that it was decided but not discussed, not years ago, and not with any input from this community. Where is any of this documented? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 18:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC) {{outdent}} {{ping|GFontenelle (WMF)}} Thank you for echoing what {{u|Romaine}} has just said above. Knowing he and others from the community are supervising this process, not just supporting or being consulted, is a really relevant piece of information that was not accurately provided in the misleading initial message. Furthermore, IMHO, the WMF should not take the lead in communicating this kind of changes in a community-driven activity, as it is not its role, and on-wiki deliberative processes should be preferred over decision-making procedures that are not as participatory, like an onsite event in Europe some years ago, and communication over community-driven processes should not have happened exclusively in a WMF report of low visibility. Finally, the initial post was lacking a lot of information that was now provided by Romaine and echoed by you. Thanks. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 11:34, 24 November 2021 (UTC) For what it's worth, as the person who originally created the newsletter when I had a "GLAM Fellowship" more than a decade ago (but have not been active in its production for a while) - the only reason that this newsletter exists here, not Meta, is because I was specifically instructed to do so. There was an attempt at that time to make the outreach wiki as a separate 'breakaway' from Meta - with different policies, community, tone. However, it has merely 'forked' the community and results in double-handing of templates among other things (at least, in the interim time, Single-user-login has made that less annoying). I don't think anyone, at any point, explicitly ''preferred'' outreach wiki, it just became the de-facto because of inertia. The effort of moving something already in place became too much effort to contemplate - even though people like myself and Romaine had been preferring for it to live on Meta. Now, finally, after all these years - there are staff resources at the WMF who are actively willing to invest the time to do the annoying work of shifting the content and cleaning up the redirects, templates etc. The lack of "hard" redirects between two wikis is annoying but this is significantly outweighed by the advantages of being on Meta (including translation software, enabling this to become a multilingual newsletter if we wish).

E.g. you made [[:Category:Pages using RFC magic links]], which is something that is automatically generated via MediaWiki if someone uses a certain syntax. So I can see the value in it not being a redlink, just in case someone actually does make an RFC magic link. I do not see the value in making it a subcategory of [[:Category:Stewards]] (???), particularly since that is a usergroup at Meta.

Therefore any terms used here are mainly intended for Wikipedia, but, due to this, the nature of the request requires it to be proposed here. NOTE: Sorry if the English is a little bad. I come by means of this proposal that we move to create a partnership between Kindle (Amazon's library) and Wikipedia Lusophone. Benefits: Access to thousands of books, which could help reference thousands of Lusophone Wikipedia articles (Nazism, Mao Tse Tung etc.) and makes it easier to find sources for articles from any wikipedia. Like any proposal, this one also has some flaws, they are: Possible deviation from the end (ie users can use the Kindle for their own benefit, reading books but not using them as a quote). To correct this, we could give administrators, self-reviewers and bureaucrats access to books. But we created another problem with this, we would be "barring" non-users, self-reviewers, bureaucrats and administrators from having access to books. Solution: create a tab to request access to the Kindle. Administrators / bureaucrats can evaluate requests with "support" and "not support" (just as is done with self-review requests). Below is a summary of what I propose for better understanding. Proposal: Create a partnership between Kindle (Amazon's subscription library) and Wikipedia. Proposal 2: Grant free access to Kindle for Administrators, Self-Reviewers and Bureaucrats. Proposal 3: Create a tab for requests for access to the Kindle for those "outside" these groups (exactly as it is done to obtain self-review status). Purpose of the proposal: To use the books available on Kindle to reference Wikipedia articles. OBS: I emphasize that this proposal is mainly aimed at Wikipedia, but as this request is of a more complex nature I had to do it here. OBS 2: I understand that it can be very complicated to achieve this, but it is easy to try. If it works out we can expand our reliability and reliability even more, and we can reference many contents of this wonderful project, which is Wikipedia: The free encyclopedia. OBS 3: If this place is not the right place to make this proposal, I ask you to guide me.

We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well. Summary: <div style="font-style:italic;"> We will be running the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey|Community Wishlist Survey]] 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes]]. </div> === Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year === In the past, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Tech|Community Tech]] team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2021|Wishlist for 2021]] in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published. However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey 2020|Wishlist for 2020]]. We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist. === Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities === We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes. === A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet === We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Community Wishlist Survey|talk page]], but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe. We will begin our first meeting '''September 15th at 23:00 UTC'''. More details about the agenda and format coming soon! === Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase === If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox]]. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes! === Feedback === * What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages? * How would you like to use our new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Community Wishlist Survey/Sandbox|sandbox?]] * What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022? * What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

Due to Outreach having limited readership and visibility within the movement, our community newsletters don’t always receive the attention they deserve. To address this, we’re working with our colleagues in the Movement Communications team to migrate the ''This month in GLAM newsletter'' '''from Outreach to [[m:Main Page|Meta-Wiki]]'''. Both teams are working on this task in the next few weeks in order to: #Increase visibility and participation in the GLAM newsletter. #Ensure the GLAM community has a place (Meta-Wiki) where they feel seen, engaged, and supported by the Wikimedia community, partners, and Foundation. #Increase the amount of multilingual (or translatable) content to engage contributors from other languages and more regions. This activity already has the support of the newsletter’s main editors. It was also already announced in [[GLAM/Newsletter/October 2021/Contents/WMF GLAM report|this October report]] in the newsletter, on social media, and on some mailing lists. The migration of the report pages, talk pages, categories, and templates will happen from '''November 19th to 30th'''. This period is important to accommodate the migration before the reports from next month. Any other modifications or corrections will be made before '''December 15th'''. If you have any questions or ideas about the migration, please contact the GLAM & Culture team at glam{{@}}wikimedia.org and the community editors at thismonthinglam{{@}}gmail.com. --[[User:GFontenelle (WMF)|GFontenelle (WMF)]] ([[User talk:GFontenelle (WMF)|talk]]) 19:04, 17 November 2021 (UTC) :{{ping|GFontenelle (WMF)|Romaine|Wittylama|Missvain|Rock drum|Carriearchdale}} Well, this is not done the ''wiki way''. The GLAM newsletter is, and I quote from the [[GLAM/Newsletter/About|About section]]: "a community-driven, monthly newsletter written by the Wikimedia movement about activities with cultural institutions broadly defined". This is not a WMF-led initiative, and important decisions should not be handled top-down by the WMF and without consultation to contributors. :I do not disagree with moving the newsletter to a project with more visibility, '''BUT''' this simply cannot happen so fast. This is an impactful change, and I see no plan --or to be even more modest, no concern-- about how this impacts negatively Wikimedians on the ground and how negative impacts will be mitigated. From our perspective, moving from outreach.wikimedia means we will need to review dozens of content pages and even printed resources that link directly to the GLAM newsletter on outreach.wikimedia. What kind of support is provided for reviewing content? Will there be automated redirects? Is this a change in editorial lead and the GLAM newsletter is now being managed by the WMF? Why was there no on-wiki consultation with editors and contributors? :I have been a newsletter editor for Brazil for years now, and I can definitely say I have not been consulted about this speed change, and I am really confused about what is happening here and the impact this will have on our work. I strongly oppose this change as is, and I am pinging editors for the newsletter (as listed [[GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom|here]]) to also understand from their perspective why this change is happening in such a pace and with no broader consultation to the community. Thanks. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 11:06, 19 November 2021 (UTC) ::Hi [[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]], Thank you for your commitment to the GLAM newsletter! As usual WMF is not so good in describing the full perspective that is needed for community members to understand what is happening, but let me try to give some answers. ::Basically there are two communities active on Outreach wiki: education and GLAM. A few years ago many of the GLAM program leaders of the affiliates had a meeting in Paris where this topic already was discussed. The conclusion was that moving to Meta would not be an issue and is fine. In March of 2021 there was also a discussion among the Wikipedia & Education User Group. So within the GLAM and education communities there seems to be some agreement on moving. Now WMF takes this move in hand and has decided to go for it. ::Last week me and Liam had a meeting with WMF about this topic, in what WMF told us about the plan. In this meeting (and afterwards) I have tried to look at all the risks and possible problems, and I have indicated that if the move takes place what in my opinion should happen. All the things I mentioned seemed to be part of their plan and/or have been adopted into it. I have multiple experiences with moving content from one wiki to another, so I think I can foresee for a large part what risks and possible problems can occur. However, I would be happy to learn from you and others what risks you possible foresee, so those risks can be mitigated. ::One of the things that I indicated to be needed is that, after all content has been moved to meta, is that outreach becomes an alias that redirects to Meta. Maybe you don't know, but this has been done before. Originally Wikipedia started not on wikipedia.org but on wikipedia.com. So if you link to https://en.wikipedia.com/wiki/Knowledge you automatically end up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge . The same should happen to Outreach, if someone links to https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/June_2021/Contents/Brazil_report, you automatically will get to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/June_2021/Contents/Brazil_report (not yet there, with the import it will come there). So all the links made in offline publications, websites, etc should still be working after the move has been completed. ::Another thing that is important is that the full history of all the pages is moved with the pages. This is possible thanks to the import function. This makes sure that all the editors in the page history are also still their in the history on Meta. ::The GLAM newsletter is written by the community and published by me. I have no signals that this would change. To be more clear: <u>all the content</u> from Outreach wiki is going to be moved to Meta. So for example also the Education newsletter will be moved to Meta too. (I <s>am</s> was also the publisher of the Education newsletter, and thanks to miscommunication by WMF I am kicked out of the publishing team which is now published by other volunteers. But that has nothing to do with the move from Outreach to Meta.) ::Based on the first message here above I understand that it raises concerns, but I hope that with this background information you get a better picture of what is upcoming. I also can say that I am following the process with all the steps by WMF very carefully in close details, as I want to avoid any problems and want to make sure the impact on the community is as limited as possible. ::If there are any concerns or questions, please raise them! [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 00:56, 20 November 2021 (UTC) :::{{ping|Romaine}} Thank you for your response. This makes more sense, and the initial communication about the migration was indeed very misleading. To mitigate risks about breaking all links in our outreach materials I request a pilot is done under community supervision. This means that only part of the content would be migrated initially and then we check if the redirects are working. Is this possible? I am told by a Wikimedia friend who is tech savvy it is not so easy to crosswiki redirect if the whole page domain is not shut down. And of course thanks you for all you do for the movement; it gives me more trust in the process knowing that you and Liam are involved. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 12:29, 20 November 2021 (UTC) ::::Hi [[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]], I suspect that is not technically possible as the full domain gets redirected. A full domain redirecting is easy, only redirecting a group of pages would mean that somehow it is programmed that only those pages get redirected, which does not seem easy to be done.

This is not a WMF-led initiative, we’re helping with the migration of the pages only. And as [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] said below, this was discussed and agreed years ago and has the support of the community. In the last few weeks, we have contacted and met with the newsletter editors because we wanted to help with the migration, especially as we wanted to help turn the newsletter more accessible, read, and edited by a broader number of contributors. And this seemed like a good moment to finally do that, as we now have the support capacity at the Foundation to respond to the request and the community has had an agreement on the subject for years. ::::::{{Quote|“this simply cannot happen so fast”}} ::::::It has been happening for a while if you consider the fact that this is something the community has been looking forward to for years. However, especially, we have contacted the GLAM newsletter editors ([[User:Romaine|Romaine]], [[User:Wittylama|Wittylama]], [[User:Missvain|Missvain]], [[User:Rock drum|Rock drum]], [[User:Carriearchdale|Carriearchdale]]) in October and, since then, have been in conversations with them to understand the best way to accomplish this migration. ::::::The GLAM team also announced it [[GLAM/Newsletter/October 2021/Contents/WMF GLAM report|in the GLAM newsletter in October]] and, per another suggestion, we also let the Meta community know [[m:Meta:Babel#This_Month_in_GLAM_newsletter_migration_from_Outreach_to_Meta|on Babel]]. ::::::{{Quote|"This is an impactful change, and I see no plan --or to be even more modest, no concern-- about how this impacts negatively Wikimedians on the ground and how negative impacts will be mitigated.”}} ::::::The plan has been discussed with the newsletter editors and we have shared our concerns, questions, and doubts about the migration in that process. ::::::More than that, this effort is to ensure that the workflow of the authors of the newsletter is not affected. It is important to notice that this also gives the community more optional features, most notably translation, and visual editor support. ::::::We want to move everything in the newsletter over and set up redirects to Meta. We're also making sure the page history is moved as well so we can keep that alive. The focus is moving over the pages and templates so we can publish the next edition of the newsletter on Meta, while we work on moving over the archives and redirects too. Romaine has [[m:Meta:Requests_for_adminship#Requests_for_bot_flags|asked for a bot flag]] to help with this. [[User:CKoerner (WMF)|CKoerner (WMF)]] created [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296091 a phabricator task] for input from our technical community for good measure. ::::::As editors and contributors of the GLAM newsletter, you can rest easy that everything will be moved properly, with the right redirects. No one in the community will lose content, no page or link will be erased, nothing will be lost. No content will be inaccessible for any amount of time. The content should be accessible at all times. ::::::While this migration will move a substantial amount of information and activity from Outreach to Meta, the deprecation of Outreach wiki is not in the scope of this work. ::::::{{Quote|“From our perspective, moving from outreach.wikimedia means we will need to review dozens of content pages and even printed resources that link directly to the GLAM newsletter on outreach.wikimedia. What kind of support is provided for reviewing content? Will there be automated redirects? Is this a change in editorial lead and the GLAM newsletter is now being managed by the WMF?”}} ::::::It won’t be necessary to review content pages. The redirects will happen. And lastly, as this is very important to highlight, there won’t be a change in the editorial lead of the newsletter and WMF will not manage the newsletter’s content in any way. This was never implied in any way or form. ::::::In the GLAM newsletter migration, we have been working with Romaine since the start, with his supervision, to make this entire process right and all our efforts are specifically to ensure that the workflows of the authors of the newsletter are not affected. ::::::Lastly, I would like to make Romaine’s words above mine: I would also be happy to learn from you and others what risks you possibly foresee, so those risks can be mitigated. We are ready to make this migration as smooth as possible for everyone.--[[User:GFontenelle (WMF)|GFontenelle (WMF)]] ([[User talk:GFontenelle (WMF)|talk]]) 03:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC) ::{{Ping|Romaine}} As I implicitly mentioned above, when was this discussed with the community here? How was a consensus reached to shut down and redirect Outreach? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 18:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC) :::Hi [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], What I know I wrote down in my earlier message. I think WMF has seen agreement within the group of GLAM program leaders and this has been spoken about in the Education group. I think WMF has considered that to be sufficient consensus and high in the hierarchy they have decided to close Outreach Wiki and centralise all the GLAM and Education materials on one wiki: Meta. As from various websites, social media and offline materials Outreach pages have been linked directly, it would be highly problematic to simply close Outreach wiki as this has been done with many other wikis. Therefore the obvious conclusion to keep materials reachable and editable without any extra effort for the readers and users is to setup domain redirecting. I also think WMF has decided to take this step because the "''Communications Department at the Foundation conducted research in January 2021 to understand how the Foundation can help make stronger movement communications a reality.''"^{[[m:Movement communications insights|source]]} and published [[m:Movement communications insights/Report|this report]]. One of the recommendations is to "''Invest more in centralizing and storing movement information''"^{[[m:Movement communications insights/Report|source]]}. What I understand is that among the movement content is spread over various wikis, which results in that the documentation is hard to find, less used, resulting in a lot of potential not being used because it is so fragmented. This I already concluded myself a decade ago, GLAM program leaders have come to that same conclusion a few years ago, and finally WMF has come to that conclusion as well. :::You ask if the decision was "discussed with the community here". That is a contradictio in terminis and a tricky question as the largest part of the users that edit this wiki, Education program leaders and GLAM program leaders, which I consider to be the core of the community that use this wiki, do not follow what is going on on this wiki. So discussing it "here" would mean that the few editors on Outreach are asked, but not the majority of the people involved is asked. :::I am not so happy about how the process is going, nor the communication, but to me it is clear WMF has made this decision, just as WMF has taken many decisions in the past decade without asking for community input. Even the founding of Outreach Wiki was by a stand alone decision of WMF and bypassing the community. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 23:39, 25 November 2021 (UTC) ::::{{Ping|Romaine}} You think it is a "contradiction in terms" to ask the community who edits here for their feedback about shutting down the wiki? That speaks volumes. [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 01:33, 26 November 2021 (UTC) :::::Hi [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], Can you please try to read what I tried to say, instead of your interpretation of what I said? What I tried to say is that only a very small portion of the people who create the Educational and GLAM content actual reads the village pump, etc, so suggesting that creating a discussion here so the Education and GLAM community, who use this wiki, can have a discussion is hardly going to work to get a representative input. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 01:49, 26 November 2021 (UTC) ::::::{{Ping|Romaine}} Okay, can you do the same and appreciate the point that ''I'' am making? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 05:21, 26 November 2021 (UTC) ::::::::Hi [[User:Koavf|Koavf]], I think I understand your point, but you may correct me if I am wrong. I believe you try to say that the community needs to make such a decision. I believe in the strengths of the community, but that is I think not the full situation. The question is who has the right to make big decisions. In think there are two parties who can: 1. WMF as they own the platforms, 2. the community who maintains the content on the wiki. So far I know there has been no agreement in the movement who has the right to decide on what. This causes frequently troubles when WMF decides things that the community claims or when WMF communicates terribly. I personally would favour the community to decide on this subject. [[User:Romaine|Romaine]] ([[User talk:Romaine|talk]]) 06:54, 3 December 2021 (UTC) :::::::{{Ping|GFontenelle (WMF)}} "this was discussed and agreed years ago": when? When was the community here engaged in this? What Romaine mentions is an email thread from ''this'' year which says that it was decided but not discussed, not years ago, and not with any input from this community. Where is any of this documented? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 18:22, 24 November 2021 (UTC) {{outdent}} {{ping|GFontenelle (WMF)}} Thank you for echoing what {{u|Romaine}} has just said above. Knowing he and others from the community are supervising this process, not just supporting or being consulted, is a really relevant piece of information that was not accurately provided in the misleading initial message. Furthermore, IMHO, the WMF should not take the lead in communicating this kind of changes in a community-driven activity, as it is not its role, and on-wiki deliberative processes should be preferred over decision-making procedures that are not as participatory, like an onsite event in Europe some years ago, and communication over community-driven processes should not have happened exclusively in a WMF report of low visibility. Finally, the initial post was lacking a lot of information that was now provided by Romaine and echoed by you. Thanks. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 11:34, 24 November 2021 (UTC) For what it's worth, as the person who originally created the newsletter when I had a "GLAM Fellowship" more than a decade ago (but have not been active in its production for a while) - the only reason that this newsletter exists here, not Meta, is because I was specifically instructed to do so. There was an attempt at that time to make the outreach wiki as a separate 'breakaway' from Meta - with different policies, community, tone. However, it has merely 'forked' the community and results in double-handing of templates among other things (at least, in the interim time, Single-user-login has made that less annoying). I don't think anyone, at any point, explicitly ''preferred'' outreach wiki, it just became the de-facto because of inertia. The effort of moving something already in place became too much effort to contemplate - even though people like myself and Romaine had been preferring for it to live on Meta. Now, finally, after all these years - there are staff resources at the WMF who are actively willing to invest the time to do the annoying work of shifting the content and cleaning up the redirects, templates etc. The lack of "hard" redirects between two wikis is annoying but this is significantly outweighed by the advantages of being on Meta (including translation software, enabling this to become a multilingual newsletter if we wish).

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki. When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed. Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help. If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]]. We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work.

A second [[:en:Wikipedia:GLAM/WestCoastWPAL/2022|West Coast Wikipedian at Large]] contract started in June, running to the end of August, again funded by DWC and employing Giantflightlessbirds as the Wikipedian.

The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and Giantflightlessbirds has presented on the project to two New Zealand library meetings and the National Digital Forum. There are blog posts on [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how to help a living author release their work under an open licence]. The [[:en:Grey District Library|Grey District Library]] has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and in June Giantflightlessbirds received a grant from the Mātātuhi Foundation, funded by the [[:en:Auckland Writers Festival]], to spend a half-day a week for six months supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project—now called the [[s:Wikisource:West Coast Task Force|West Coast Task Force]]—to more libraries. === Auckland Museum: Focus on West Auckland === [[File:Lion Rock (1901) (AM PH-NEG-2504).jpg|thumb|Image of [[:en:Lion Rock (New Zealand)|Lion Rock]], a symbol of West Auckland, from the archives of Auckland War Memorial Museum]] In 2023, a new curriculum, [https://www.education.govt.nz/our-work/changes-in-education/aotearoa-new-zealands-histories-and-te-takanga-o-te-wa/ Aotearoa New Zealand's histories and Te Takanga o Te Wā], will be introduced to schools across Aotearoa New Zealand. The curriculum brings a new focus to local history, emphasising the events and people local to each area, and how these shaped the communities that students live in today. One of the [[:en:Auckland War Memorial Museum|Auckland War Memorial Museum]]'s goals for the near future is to empower all teachers and students in the Auckland Region to learn more about our history and taonga. In March 2021, the museum opened [https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/visit/galleries/tamaki-herenga-waka Tāmaki Herenga Waka Stories of Auckland], and in mid-2021 the museum developed an ambitious plan to use Wikipedia pages to help this goal. The Auckland Suburb Project aims to provide a basic history of every single suburb in the Auckland Region, and to ensure that indigenous history, from indigenous voices, is represented in every article. The past month has focused on West Auckland. The articles on [[:en:Cornwallis, New Zealand|Cornwallis]], [[:en:Glen Eden, New Zealand|Glen Eden]] and [[:en:Henderson, New Zealand|Henderson]] have all been substantially developed, with a large amount of progress being made towards the surrounding suburbs. Articles were created for many of the features of the region, such as [[:en:Pukematekeo|Pukematekeo]], [[:en:O'Neill Bay|O'Neill Bay]], [[:en:Lion Rock (New Zealand)|Lion Rock]], the ancient [[:en:Waitākere volcano|Waitākere volcano]] from which most of the area is formed, and [[:en:Paorae|Paorae]], the legendary sand dune land of the West Coast. The article on [[:en:Don Buck|Don Buck]], a controversial Portuguese immigrant to Auckland during the heyday of [[:en:kauri gum|kauri gum]] digging rush, was greatly developed, and [[:pt:Don Buck|a version in his native language]] developed with a local bilingual Wikipedia editor. Much progress was made on the [[:en:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Auckland|requested photographs in Auckland]] project: all photo requests for the [[:en:Waitākere Ranges (local board area)|Waitākere Ranges local board area]] have been filled, meaning every single article about a location in this area has a corresponding photograph. Only 19 requests for images remain for entirety of West Auckland. In the next month, work will continue on 16 core suburb articles (of the 50+ West Auckland localities, those with the largest schools), and on an overall West Auckland article. === Auckland Musem: Wikidata entries for New Zealand figures === Edit-a-thons and editors often have trouble finding people to write about, and of those people, working out if they are notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. The [[:en:Wikipedia:GLAM/Auckland Museum/Articles to work on|Auckland Museum suggested articles list]] was developed as a way for staff and volunteers to easily identify Aotearoa New Zealand-related topics and people who could potentially have an article written on them. Each figure is sorted by field, and a flag next to their name indicates if the subject is related to one of the major projects the museum focuses on: Women in Red, New Zealand Māori task force, WikiProject LGBT studies and WikiProject Polynesia. In June, Wikidata entries were created for all winners of [https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/your-museum/get-involved/museum-medals Auckland Museum Medal]s, [[:en:Ockham New Zealand Book Awards|Ockham New Zealand Book Awards]] and attendees of the [https://samesamebutdifferent.co.nz/ Samesame but Different LGBTQIA+ Writers and Readers Festival], and if they are likely a figure considered notable enough for an article, added to the list. === Coverage of Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject === Lisa Maule ([[:en:User:Pakoire|User:Pakoire]]) has had positive coverage of her continuing [[:en:Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Performing Arts Aotearoa|Performing Arts Aotearoa]] project in the media: "[https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/arts/300618730/getting-the-arts-wikified-through-volunteer-editathons Getting the arts ‘wiki-fied’ through volunteer edit-a-thons]."

DWC receive a weekly email update on the project, and the volunteer team log their [[:en:Wikipedia:GLAM/WestCoastWPAL/Weekly Progress|weekly progress]]. <gallery mode="packed" heights="150" caption="Recent uploads from the project"> File:Paparoa National Park • Jase Blair • Katabatic • 16.jpg|alt=|Mt Uriah File:Paparoa National Park • Jase Blair • Katabatic • 09.jpg|alt=|Paparoa National Park File:Punakaiki Cavern MRD 09.jpg|alt=|Punakaiki Cavern File:Penguin crossing MRD.jpg|alt=|Penguin Crossing </gallery> === West Coast Wikisource project === [[File:Mātātuhi Foundation Logo.png|200px|right|frameless]] With the help of [[s:User:Beeswaxcandle|User:Beeswaxcandle]], the [[:en:Westland District Library|Westland District Library]] in early 2021 began scanning and uploading out-of-copyright works in its collection to Wikisource. The completed works were then uploaded as EPUBs to the library's ebook catalogue in OverDrive, and made available for loan through most of the South Island. There's been brisk lending, with more readers for the books in the last six months than in 10 years on the shelves or locked away in a Special Collections cabinet. We now have a small group of New Zealand volunteers proofing and verifying, and Giantflightlessbirds has presented on the project to two New Zealand library meetings and the National Digital Forum. There are blog posts on [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/01/27/digitising-a-tiny-book/ how the work got started], [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/02/26/an-introduction-to-wikisource/ how Wikisource works] (from a public talk Beeswaxcandle gave at the library in Hokitika), and [https://digitalwestland.blog/2021/08/03/releasing-a-book-copyright/ how to help a living author release their work under an open licence]. The [[:en:Grey District Library|Grey District Library]] has employed a librarian part-time to source and scan New Zealand works, and in June Giantflightlessbirds received a grant from the Mātātuhi Foundation, funded by the [[:en:Auckland Writers Festival]], to spend a half-day a week for six months supporting the project. The Foundation were very interested in the possibility of using Wikisource to increase the visibiity of New Zealand writers, and extending the project—now called the [[s:Wikisource:West Coast Task Force|West Coast Task Force]]—to more libraries. === Auckland Museum: Focus on West Auckland === [[File:Lion Rock (1901) (AM PH-NEG-2504).jpg|thumb|Image of [[:en:Lion Rock (New Zealand)|Lion Rock]], a symbol of West Auckland, from the archives of Auckland War Memorial Museum]] In 2023, a new curriculum, [https://www.education.govt.nz/our-work/changes-in-education/aotearoa-new-zealands-histories-and-te-takanga-o-te-wa/ Aotearoa New Zealand's histories and Te Takanga o Te Wā], will be introduced to schools across Aotearoa New Zealand. The curriculum brings a new focus to local history, emphasising the events and people local to each area, and how these shaped the communities that students live in today. One of the [[:en:Auckland War Memorial Museum|Auckland War Memorial Museum]]'s goals for the near future is to empower all teachers and students in the Auckland Region to learn more about our history and taonga. In March 2021, the museum opened [https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/visit/galleries/tamaki-herenga-waka Tāmaki Herenga Waka Stories of Auckland], and in mid-2021 the museum developed an ambitious plan to use Wikipedia pages to help this goal. The Auckland Suburb Project aims to provide a basic history of every single suburb in the Auckland Region, and to ensure that indigenous history, from indigenous voices, is represented in every article. The past month has focused on West Auckland. The articles on [[:en:Cornwallis, New Zealand|Cornwallis]], [[:en:Glen Eden, New Zealand|Glen Eden]] and [[:en:Henderson, New Zealand|Henderson]] have all been substantially developed, with a large amount of progress being made towards the surrounding suburbs. Articles were created for many of the features of the region, such as [[:en:Pukematekeo|Pukematekeo]], [[:en:O'Neill Bay|O'Neill Bay]], [[:en:Lion Rock (New Zealand)|Lion Rock]], the ancient [[:en:Waitākere volcano|Waitākere volcano]] from which most of the area is formed, and [[:en:Paorae|Paorae]], the legendary sand dune land of the West Coast. The article on [[:en:Don Buck|Don Buck]], a controversial Portuguese immigrant to Auckland during the heyday of [[:en:kauri gum|kauri gum]] digging rush, was greatly developed, and [[:pt:Don Buck|a version in his native language]] developed with a local bilingual Wikipedia editor. Much progress was made on the [[:en:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Auckland|requested photographs in Auckland]] project: all photo requests for the [[:en:Waitākere Ranges (local board area)|Waitākere Ranges local board area]] have been filled, meaning every single article about a location in this area has a corresponding photograph. Only 19 requests for images remain for entirety of West Auckland. In the next month, work will continue on 16 core suburb articles (of the 50+ West Auckland localities, those with the largest schools), and on an overall West Auckland article. === Auckland Museum: Wikidata entries for New Zealand figures === Edit-a-thons and editors often have trouble finding people to write about, and of those people, working out if they are notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. The [[:en:Wikipedia:GLAM/Auckland Museum/Articles to work on|Auckland Museum suggested articles list]] was developed as a way for staff and volunteers to easily identify Aotearoa New Zealand-related topics and people who could potentially have an article written on them. Each figure is sorted by field, and a flag next to their name indicates if the subject is related to one of the major projects the museum focuses on: Women in Red, New Zealand Māori task force, WikiProject LGBT studies and WikiProject Polynesia. In June, Wikidata entries were created for all winners of [https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/your-museum/get-involved/museum-medals Auckland Museum Medal]s, [[:en:Ockham New Zealand Book Awards|Ockham New Zealand Book Awards]] and attendees of the [https://samesamebutdifferent.co.nz/ Samesame but Different LGBTQIA+ Writers and Readers Festival], and if they are likely a figure considered notable enough for an article, added to the list. === Coverage of Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject === Lisa Maule ([[:en:User:Pakoire|User:Pakoire]]) has had positive coverage of her continuing [[:en:Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Performing Arts Aotearoa|Performing Arts Aotearoa]] project in the media: "[https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/arts/300618730/getting-the-arts-wikified-through-volunteer-editathons Getting the arts ‘wiki-fied’ through volunteer edit-a-thons]."
