Encore des abus d'administration

Cher Yann, j'ai rédigé une requête pour commentaires à propòs de graves abus d'administration à wikipedia en Lombard: les utilisatuers lmo:user:Fabexplosive et lmo:user:Nick1915 ont bloque 18 comptes d'utilisateurs, en les calomniant d'être sockpuppets. C'est grave, parce que il s'agit d'utilisateurs qui avaient voté contre une proposition de règlement. Je te prie de bien vouloir agir contre ce "vandalisme d'administration". Si l'on ne respecte pas les votations, à quoi servent-elles? De plus, cette attitude rend vaine la dimension collaborative de wikipedia. Je te prie de bien vouloir ne pas sousestimer la gravité de la situation. Enfin, je te prie de considérer aussi que l'un de ces utilisateur a voté pour fermer wikipedia en Lombard: Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Lombard_Wikipedia. On peut donc soupçonner que ce comportement ne soit pas bona fide. Merci bien, --10caart 07:35, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Des précisions

Bonjour, voici une précision: la votation avait réporté le résultat de 26 contraires et 8 à faveur. Mainténant les utilisateurs ci-dessus voudraient dire que la proposition de règlement, que a été rejectée 26 à 8, aurait au contraire approuvée. Cela s'appèlle, de façon claire: "duperie". Merci bien, --10caart 07:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

et enfin, voisi la page: lmo:wikipedia:Grott.--10caart 07:52, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Demande de changement de statut pour mg.wiktionary

Bonjour,

Je suis Jagwar venant de la wiktionary malgache, je suis venu vous faire cette demande de statut d'admin, car l'unique sysop de mg.wiktionary semble avoir jeté l'éponge.

En effet, depuis 6 mois, ni sur la mg.WP ni sur mg.Wikt Hery n'a été actif

Le problème, c'est que c'est le seul utilisateur à pouvoir changer les edittools de MediaWiki.

En effet, j'ai demandé à un sysop de fr.wikt mais il ne pouvait le faire et m'a donc proposé de vous contacter pour demander un changement de statut.

Merci d'avance, Amicalement,

Jagwar 16:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikinews.fr, que peut-on faire ?

Bonjour,

Vous avez répondu le 7 décembre dernier à une demande de CU émanant de Bertrand Grondin à mon sujet.

J'aimerais beaucoup que vous puissiez vérifier, en consultant les liens fournis par Bertrand Grondin lui-même (User : Trevras@fr.wn - for these constributions by attacking wikinews users integrity, trolls, insults), que l'affirmation selon laquelle je me livrais à des insultes envers les contributeurs de Wikinews est parfaitement fausse (ce serait même plutôt le contraire !).

Vous pourrez aussi, à cette occasion, constater que mon exclusion de Wikinews a été tout à fait brutale et très mal justifiée (voir par exemple le décompte des votes sur mon blocage), et qu'elle dénote un état d'esprit à mon avis diamétralement opposé aux préconisations de la Wikimedia Foundation. (Peut-être pourriez-vous vérifier, ce faisant, que le texte explicitant mon exclusion sur “ma” page de discussion est inexact : il m'est impossible, sans utiliser un faux-nez, d'écrire sur cette page et d'effectuer un recours, mes droits d'écriture ayant été complètement supprimés.)

En consultant cette page de discussion d'un article de l'édition du 19 janvier, vous pourrez de plus constater que Bertrand Grondin, comme il aime le répéter, persiste et signe : il a bloqué un lecteur qui tentait, maladroitement sans doute, de s'opposer à son traitement outrageusement partisan de l'actualité russo-géorgienne.

C'est d'ailleurs, au-delà de mon cas personnel, ce qui m'amène à venir vous ennuyer : tant que les gestionnaires de Wikinews se contentent de nuire à leur propre projet, c'est dommage, mais je me fais une raison. La propagande à laquelle ce média se livre sous couvert de neutralité me paraît en revanche extrêmement répréhensible. Ne peut-on rien faire contre cette dérive ? Quelle instance serait selon vous compétente pour débattre et statuer sur cette question ?

Je voudrais pour terminer souligner que la page d'accueil de Wikipédia.fr se fait l'écho des informations mises en avant par Wikinews, ce que je trouve pour le moins gênant.

D'avance, merci de votre réponse. Trevras 05:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

J'ai bien reçu votre demande. Je vais étudier ce problème. Yann 11:07, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Merci. Et pour, peut-être, relancer votre intérêt, cette citation, extraite du fil « Déontologie » (qui avait mis le feu aux poudres) de la Salle café de Wikinews :

« J'ai fait quelques stats pendant l'été : au 3è trimestre, il y a eu 390 articles créés dont 140 venant de Rian (soit 36%), 33 de VOA (8%), 35 sur le foot (9%), 74 sur les autres sports (19%), 9 sur le droit français (2%), 32 sur la France (8%) et 67 sur le reste du monde (17%). La part de RIAN me semble trop importante. Sans polémiquer sur le contenu partisan et fumeux de certaines dépêches, elles devraient être moins nombreuses, même si la quantité des créations d'articles diminue. Leur fréquence fait sans doute fuir certains contributeurs potentiels. Un exemple de la propagande répétitive de cette agence : le paragraphe supprimé là qu'on a vu plusieurs jours de suite sur tous les articles sur le Caucase. - Seherr 1 décembre 2008 à 00:20 (UTC) »

Ces statistiques ont donc été fournies par Seherr, administrateur de Wikinews en fonction à ce moment-là et qui a démissionné à la suite de cette affaire. Elles montrent la prépondérance écrasante des dépêches en provenance de RIA Novosti au moment où le conflit entre la Russie et la Géorgie atteignait son paroxysme. Je suis malheureusement incapable d'actualiser ces chiffres, mais une consultation épisodique de Wikinews semble indiquer que rien n'a changé depuis, ni dans le traitement de l'actualité, ni dans l'accueil réservé aux critiques... qui ne peuvent évidemment qu'être des « trolls » qui viennent « nuire au projet ». Bien à vous, Trevras 18:42, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank You

Hi Yann, THanks a lot for showing your willingness to move pages once gu.wikisource is created. It would really be great help.--Dhaval^Talk 10:39, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Reg:Hindi wiki

Hi Yann, This is reg hindi wiki. As u r an admin there, & also connected with wikimedia, I thought that u may see the request better.

I am thinking of a program segment, that senses the logged in status of a member, & places a green dot on online, red on busy, yellow on idle & grey on offline, just like orkut/google/G-talk, etc & many more. Can we have this fac, atleast for the sysops' status. If you can direct this issue to right hands, so nice of you. --आशीष भटनागर 10:53, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

I think that your proposition would be violating Wikimedia privacy policy, so I don't think it would be accepted, and is even a good thing. Regards, Yann 11:37, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

So nice of you replying me,

But the things are quite different. As you might be aware about the Google, G-Talk & orkut, etc. The user holds an option to be invisible. That way, he appears to be grey (as if he is not online) while being very much online. Only when a user opts for Green status, the user is shown green. I think this suffice the solution for the privacy issue.--आशीष भटनागर 17:44, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

CU

I'm just wondering where your RFCU for meta is:

• (show/hide) 23:23, 11 November 2006 Yann (Talk | contribs | block) changed group membership for User:Yann@metawiki from Bureaucrats, Stewards and Administrators to Bureaucrats, Stewards, Administrators and CheckUsers ‎

Thanks  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 17:05, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

That was in 2006! Yann 21:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

That's why I ask. CU#Meta lists you as having it for log access. But we don't do that any more - if there's a valid RFCU then you just get bumped into the regular section. But I haven't been able to find one.  — Mike.lifeguard | ^@en.wb 00:19, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Community Wishlist Survey votes

Hi Yann, Thanks for participating in the Wishlist Survey! I'm sorry that this wasn't clear -- this is the proposals phase of the survey, when people are posting and discussing proposals. The voting phase starts in a couple weeks, on November 28th. We're not counting votes that are cast early, because the proposals can change during this phase, and you might end up voting for something that changes in a way that you didn't expect. I've added some text at the top of the page, explaining this better.

I don't want people to see your Support votes and get confused, so I'm going to change the Support template in your message to "Good idea". If that response doesn't work for you, then feel free to change it. Sorry again about the confusion -- I'm really glad that you're participating. I hope you keep coming back to discuss and improve proposals, and you'll have a chance to vote starting on Nov 28th. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- DannyH (WMF) (talk) 19:02, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello! I'd like to remind you again that the voting phase has not started yet. Your input on individual proposals is most welcome, but the issue is by adding the  Support template others may be mislead that it is a !voting survey. Thanks for your understanding!

Copyright problem with File:Education and WGIG.pdf

Thank you for uploading File:Education and WGIG.pdf. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at this page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih (talk) 03:33, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jusjih,

I think it is historically important, as it mentions Wikipedia. There is no real copyright issue, but it doesn't have a formal license. We should be able to keep such files somewhere. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:40, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Wikimedia CH/Call for projects 2017/Scanning books for Wikisource

Dear Yann: I have read your grant proposal and found the idea of book scanning just great! Maybe this piece of information will help you: there is a professional book scanner in Zurich - in the library of UZH Deutsches Seminar (Schönberggasse 9, 8001 Zürich) - freely available for any library user. The machine is busy <20%, from my experience (scanned 10+ books already), and the scanning is absolutely free. I could provide the exact details of the model if needed... --Balabinrm (talk) 20:25, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi Balabinrm,

Thanks for your message. Actually most university libraries have a scanner. I know 2 of them which have one in Geneva. And Zurich is a bit far for me. ;) So I dropped the idea to buy a scanner for now. However I am still interested in partnerships with GLAMs for scanning books. Best regards, Yann (talk) 16:32, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

Interviewing you about Structured Data on Commons

Hi Yann,

Firstly, I should introduce myself. I'm Jonathan Curiel with the Wikimedia Foundation, and I'm helping to work on WMF's Structured Data on Commons project. At Wikimania in Montreal, I'm interviewing Commons users about the project, and I'd like to interview you. I'd ask about implementing structured data into Commons, interacting with structured data, how best to involve the community, and other questions. Would you have 30 minutes at Wikimania? I'd try and accommodate any time you have available there.

Thanks so very much for your consideration. Appreciate any time you have. And I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Inspire Campaign on Measuring Community Health

Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.

Invitation to affiliate members to complete a survey about WMF wide Universal Code of Conduct

Hello; My name is Mervat, and I am helping the Trust and Safety team to reach out to affiliates in order to discuss the Universal Code of Conduct.  

There has been talks about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time, and finally, Wikimedia Foundation Board announced a Community Culture Statement, enacting new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.Since the universal code of conduct that will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe, and will impact our work as groups, individuals and projects, it’s of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC, its nature, what we think it should cover or include and what it shouldn’t include; how it may develop, drawback or help our groups.   This is the time to talk about it. As you are a valuable contributor to the Wikimedia movement, your voice counts.

Before starting to draft the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you; We invite you to devote some minutes to take this survey; your answers will help us create a safer environment for all on Wikimedia: (English): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd36dNdU3C5shXEkKp9itJOhuCTx9hZE5AE-xflkxtfRMnZtg/viewform?usp=pp_url  

It’s possible that you are a member of more than one affiliate; hence you may receive this survey more than once, and you may have participated previously in the discussions or filled out a previous survey during the first round of consultations about UCoC which targeted wikipedia/wikimedia communities. We apologize for this; it is really difficult to identify if a wikimedian belongs to multiple groups that work to spread free knowledge.

Looking forward to your thoughts and opinions and hoping that you can respond within the next 2 weeks. If you have any questions about the surveys or difficulties accessing the link, please contact me by email (msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org).

Invitation to participate in Universal Code of Conduct survey - WikiWomen's User Group

(You are receiving this message as you signed your interest to participate as part of the WikiWomen's User Group)

Hello, my name is Mervat Salman, a UCoC Facilitator, Trust and Safety team.

As you know, the WMF Board of Trustees ratified the Universal Code of Conduct early in February. That's the beginning; the policy itself cannot be used if the enforcement pathways are not defined. The implementation and enforcement of the UCoC requires the continuous cooperation to define clear definitions of enforcement pathways and processes. This needs to be done in a way that does not contradict with the internal bylaws and codes of conduct currently in place, but rather to support them and complement their deficiencies, if any.

In this phase of the process, we would like to invite you to share your ideas, thoughts and concerns about the UCoC implementation, reporting and enforcement pathways using this survey:

• English
• French
• German

Notice: This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement <https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/UCoC_Affiliates_Survey_Privacy_Statement>.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact msalman-ctr@wikimedia.org.

Best regards,

Wiktionary en Sango (sg)

Bonjour, depuis le début de septembre, je me suis mis en tête de faire renaître de ses cendres le site du Wiktionary en Sango. Sais-tu où postuler pour devenir administrateur. Très cordialement. 92.184.106.205 14:32, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Bonjour,
Pour être administrateur sur un projet, il faut avoir un compte. Généralement, cela ne suffit pas, il faut avoir un certain nombre de modifications avec ce compte pour prouver sa capacité à jouer un rôle administratif. Cordialement. —Eihel (talk) 14:58, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

En en plus parler la langue de ce projet. Je ne parle pas le Sango (et je ne savais même pas que cette langue existait...). Yann (talk) 15:56, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Pardon ... Je n'avais pas vu j'étais déconnecté quand j'ai publié mon message. Autant pour moi. Laurent Bouvier (talk) 15:25, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Je souhaiterai pouvoir travailler sur le look and feel. J'avais le sentiment qu'il fallait être administrateur dans la mesure où il fait pouvoir travailler sur les gadgets. Laurent Bouvier (talk) 09:39, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Donc, Rebonjour @Laurent Bouvier: , Il faudrait, « au mieux », l'approbation de la communauté locale (pas évident avec 3 contributeurs actifs dont vous). Puis après coup, comme il n'y a aucun bubu, il faut faire la demande aux stews ici. Malheureusement, il n'y a pas encore de page de candidature idoine, de « bistro » ou de Village pump sur sgwikt. Il ne faut pas obligatoirement parler la langue, mais le manque d'admin fait que ça devient obligatoire pour interagir avec cette communauté. Quand vous écrivez look and feel, les outils d'administrateur me semblent inutiles. Selon les besoins, certains status peuvent être fournis pour un temps limité. Cordialement. —Eihel (talk) 01:52, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Can You have look at block on me on frwikisource?

User page in Commons

I was banned by you on Wikimedia Commons for uploading non-free files in March 2019. But Elcobbola branded me as Hoa112008's sockpuppet while I found out that Hoa112008 joined in June... how confusing! (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hoang42006).

Thanks for being able to edit your Commons profile with another template that says members are banned for non-free file downloads. I've been imagining him, haven't seen him say anything yet.--Hoang42006 (talk) 01:54, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

@Hoang42006: Hoa112008 joined on 25 June 2019. Elcobbola is a checkuser, but it is A.Savin who blocked you on Commons. However you will have to ask on your talk page on Commons if you want to be unblocked. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:03, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

You banned me first, but A.Savin reshaped and banned in March a few days later. A.Savin has quit his job, he is no longer active. It's confusing to assign me to sockpoppet. I also talked about this with Elcobbola, said it was a mistake, but he must have forgotten to edit his profile on the commons. Thanks for being able to edit your Commons profile with another template that says members are banned for non-free file downloads (which makes more sense to me), no need for you to unblock.

Can you edit my commons user page template Template:Blocked user/en--Hoang42006 (talk) 03:02, 27 February 2022 (UTC)Hoang42006

Call For Volunteer Facilitators Across Africa

The African Narrative

Dear Wikimedian,

The Africa Narrative is seeking volunteer facilitators in Egypt (two volunteers) and Senegal (two volunteers) for the AfroCreatives Wikiproject.

The AfroCreatives Wikiproject aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African creative sector, as well as enthusiasts more broadly, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. Its inaugural effort will target the film sectors of Egypt, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal.

The Africa Narrative (TAN) is a non-profit that develops singular, high-impact initiatives in support of African creatives and the African cultural and creative industries with the aim to strengthen capacity in the continent’s creative economy and the global visibility of African cultural soft power.

All volunteers must have full professional proficiency in English. In Senegal, they must have native or full professional proficiency in French; in Egypt, they must have native or full professional proficiency in Arabic. Volunteer facilitators should have a vast knowledge about Wikimedia projects and experience with teaching new editors. All volunteers will be compensated.

Interested participants may sign up on the project's Meta page. You may also indicate your country and email if your Wikipedia account is not associated with any email address.

The Africa Narrative/Volunteers

We will be glad if you can share with or recommend an Egyptian or Senegalese Wikipedian as well.

Thank you.
