== Notices received from search engines ==
The information below details notices received by the Wikimedia Foundation when search engines intend to indefinitely remove links to Wikipedia articles and other online Wikimedia media content from their results. We have also received removal notices concerning other types of pages, such as discussion and user pages. The number of links removed for each type of page for which we have received removal notices can be found in the table below.

We do not know who requested each removal. Please note that the subject of the affected webpage may not be the individual or organization that made the underlying request -- we believe anyone can request the removal of a webpage from search results.

The community is, as always, free to exercise its editorial discretion and address the referred content as appropriate under community policies and practices.
Search engines do not inform delisted service providers (like us) what search terms we have been delisted for, or the reason for the delisting, so we do not know whether specific changes to the content might affect the delisting.

After a 2023 ruling in a Swedish court (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:62022CJ0026), Google has stopped informing website owners what pages it has removed from its search results under European “right to be forgotten” rules (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/15/google-stops-notifying-publishers-of-right-to-be-forgotten-removals-from-search-results ). Due to the lack of searchable information, we will not post notices that do not contain URL information, however all notices received will continue to be tallied on the ‘Content removal notices for all wikis’ tables listed in this page.

We are not aware of other search engines' processes or the number of requests they are receiving and granting. Search engines are not required by law to provide notices, so we appreciate the companies who share our commitment to free speech and transparency. Compelled censorship is unacceptable, but compelled censorship without notice is unforgivable.

&lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;In case of emergency, as defined in Section 617.0303(5) or other relevant provisions of the Act, the chair of the Board of Trustees or the vice-chair of the Board of Trustees shall prescribe a shorter notice to be given personally or by communicating to each Trustee at his or her email address, residence or business address in like manner.&lt;/span&gt;

(3) A consent signed under this Section 4 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document. (4) Any consent resolution which has not received affirmative votes from all of the Trustees then in office shall be presented for a vote at the next board meeting. (5) Modifications to the Bylaws or articles of incorporation can not be made by consent resolutions.&lt;/span&gt;

== Informasi tambahan tentang linimasa ini ==
[[File:Adapted Wikipedia20symbol puzzleglobe.svg|thumb|Logo bola dunia teka-teki Wikipedia yang diilustrasikan dengan garis luar hitam.]]
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang upaya lain untuk bantu menyebarkan kisah Yayasan Wikimedia, silakan bagikan dengan kami lewat [[Memory talk:Timeline|laman pembicaraan linimasa ini]] atau surel ({{email|answers|wikimedia.org}}).

[[File:Adapted Wikipedia20symbol puzzleglobe.svg|thumb|Logo bola dunia teka-teki Wikipedia yang diilustrasikan dengan garis luar hitam.]]
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang upaya lain untuk bantu menyebarkan kisah Yayasan Wikimedia, silakan bagikan ke kami lewat [[Memory talk:Timeline|laman pembicaraan linimasa ini]] atau surel ({{email|answers|wikimedia.org}}).

* Dewan Pengawas Yayasan Wikimedia memberikan suara untuk memberhentikan salah satu anggotanya yang baru-baru ini dipilih oleh komunitas. Anggota tersebut diangkat kembali pada tahun 2017 setelah dipilih oleh komunitas untuk kembali menjabat.
* Yayasan memprakarsai proyek mesin pencari, yang dikenal sebagai [[{{lwp|Knowledge Engine (search engine)}}|Mesin Pengetahuan]], untuk menemukan dan menampilkan informasi yang dapat diverifikasi dan tepercaya dari sumber informasi publik. Setelah muncul kekhawatiran dari staf dan anggota komunitas Wikimedia tentang bagaimana prakarsa ini dimulai, proyek tersebut ditinggalkan oleh Yayasan. Beberapa gagasan yang dikembangkan selama masa prakarsa tersebut kemudian ditindaklanjuti untuk memperbagus fungsionalitas pencarian MediaWiki.
* Pada akhir tahun 2015, Yayasan Wikimedia meluncurkan [[{{foundationsite|public-policy}}|Situs web Kebijakan Publik]] yang menguraikan pengutamaan dan keprihatinan kebijakan publik organisasi tersebut.

* '''{{dateT|3=15}}{{colon}}''' Wikimedia Foundation mengumumkan bahwa mereka, bersama dengan delapan penggugat tambahan, bekerja sama dengan [[{{lwp|American Civil Liberties Union}}|American Civil Liberties Union]] (ACLU) untuk mengajukan gugatan terhadap [[{{lwp|National Security Agency}}|Badan Keamanan Nasional Amerika Serikat]] (NSA). Gugatan tersebut, ''[[{{lwp|Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA}}|Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA]]'', mempertanyakan praktik pengawasan massal NSA, yang melanggar [[{{lwp|United States Constitution}}|Hak Konstitusional Amerika Serikat]] milik para pembaca, kontributor, dan staf Yayasan. Kasus ini berlanjut hingga Februari 2023, ketika [[{{lwp|Supreme Court of the United States}}|Mahkamah Agung Amerika Serikat]] akhirnya menolak untuk mendengarkan kasus tersebut.

[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

[[File:Adapted Wikipedia20symbol puzzleglobe.svg|thumb|Logo bola dunia teka-teki Wikipedia yang diilustrasikan dengan garis luar hitam.]]
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang upaya lain untuk bantu menyebarkan kisah Yayasan Wikimedia, silakan bagikan ke kami lewat [[Memory talk:Timeline|laman pembicaraan linimasa ini]] atau surel ({{email|answers|wikimedia.org}}).

[[File:Adapted Wikipedia20symbol puzzleglobe.svg|thumb|Logo bola dunia teka-teki Wikipedia yang diilustrasikan dengan garis luar hitam.]]
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang upaya lain untuk bantu menyebarkan kisah Yayasan Wikimedia, silakan bagikan ke kami lewat [[Memory talk:Timeline|laman pembicaraan linimasa ini]] atau surel ({{email|answers|wikimedia.org}}).

[[File:Adapted Wikipedia20symbol puzzleglobe.svg|thumb|Logo bola dunia teka-teki Wikipedia yang diilustrasikan dengan garis luar hitam.]]
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang upaya lain untuk bantu menyebarkan kisah Yayasan Wikimedia, silakan bagikan ke kami lewat [[Memory talk:Timeline|laman pembicaraan linimasa ini]] atau surel ({{email|answers|wikimedia.org}}).

[[File:Adapted Wikipedia20symbol puzzleglobe.svg|thumb|Logo bola dunia teka-teki Wikipedia yang diilustrasikan dengan garis luar hitam.]]
[[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy|Strategi Gerakan Wikimedia]] menganjurkan agar kami [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Manage Internal Knowledge|mengelola pengetahuan internal]]. Strategi ini meminta kami untuk membuat pengetahuan internal gerakan kami mudah ditangkap, ditemukan, dikonsumsi, dan diadaptasi oleh semua kontributor untuk memfasilitasi keberlanjutan dan ketahanan, pengembangan keterampilan individu dan organisasi, serta pertumbuhan secara adil di semua komunitas. Pengembangan linimasa ini merupakan upaya untuk meningkatkan dokumentasi kisah Yayasan Wikimedia. Kami menyediakannya sebagai pelengkap rangkaian materi yang terus dikembangkan yang mendokumentasikan kisah Wikimedia selama lebih dari 20 tahun.

Mengingat sifat saling terkait dari Gerakan Wikimedia, kemungkinan besar entri pada linimasa ini akan muncul di linimasa lain. Tidak apa-apa! Penting untuk mendokumentasi semua aspek dari kisah kolektif kami. Dalam beberapa bulan dan tahun mendatang, kami akan terus mencari peluang untuk memajukan upaya dokumentasi ini, termasuk cara-cara memakai pengetahuan yang dikumpulkan lewat linimasa ini. Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang bagaimana linimasa ini dapat dipakai atau diedarkan, [[Memory talk:Timeline|silakan beri tahu kami]].

Jika Anda punya gagasan tentang upaya lain untuk bantu menyebarkan kisah Yayasan Wikimedia, silakan bagikan ke kami lewat [[Memory talk:Timeline|laman pembicaraan linimasa ini]] atau surel ({{email|answers|wikimedia.org}}).

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The purpose of the Product &amp; Technology Committee is to assist the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of the Wikimedia Foundation (“Foundation”) in understanding, overseeing, and providing advice with respect to its strategies for the creation and use of technology; its investment plans and priorities (including a broad product roadmap); as well as the use of licenses, policies and practices for content reuse in support of the Foundation’s mission.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
== Membership and Organization ==
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
=== Committee Members ===
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board shall appoint at least three trustees to serve as Committee members. Of these, the Board shall appoint one trustee to serve as Committee Chair for a term of two years of office. The Board may also appoint one or more additional trustees to serve as alternate Committee members, to act in the place and stead of any absent Committee members. Committee appointments are for a term of one year; however, they shall automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless the appointed trustee is replaced as a Committee member or has their committee membership terminated by the Board. The term of the Committee Chair shall automatically renew and continue until replaced by the Board or resignation.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
The Board shall seek to appoint as a voting Committee member at least one trustee who has experience with large-scale product development or technology platform management.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;

The volunteer advisory members shall be formally nominated by the Committee Chair based on their qualifications and expertise (as determined by the Committee Chair in their sole discretion) and approved by a majority of the Committee. Volunteer advisory members shall be appointed by the Committee for renewable one-year terms. All volunteer advisory members must comply with the same disclosure and certification requirements required by the Board under the Foundation's Conflict of Interest Policy. No volunteer advisory members may be voting Committee members.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot; class=&quot;mw-content-ltr&quot;&gt;
