Movement Strategy[edit]
Movement Strategy announces the Call for Candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee. The Call opens August 2, 2021 and closes September 1, 2021.
The Committee is expected to represent diversity in the Movement. Diversity includes gender, language, geography, and experience. This comprises participation in projects, affiliates, and the Wikimedia Foundation.
English fluency is not required to become a member. If needed, translation and interpretation support is provided. Members will receive an allowance to offset participation costs. It is US$100 every two months.
We are looking for people who have some of the following skills:
- Know how to write collaboratively. (demonstrated experience is a plus)
- Are ready to find compromises.
- Focus on inclusion and diversity.
- Have knowledge of community consultations.
- Have intercultural communication experience.
- Have governance or organization experience in non-profits or communities.
- Have experience negotiating with different parties.
The Committee is expected to start with 15 people. If there are 20 or more candidates, a mixed election and selection process will happen. If there are 19 or fewer candidates, then the process of selection without election takes place.
Will you help move Wikimedia forward in this important role? Submit your candidacy here. Please contact strategy2030

Content on non-Wikimedia wikis[edit]
Hi all. I took a look at Meta:Requests for deletion and found a request for SourceWatch and other pages listed at Category:Non-Wikimedia projects. When I saw the existence of this category and the pages in it, I was a bit confused. Our inclusion policy explicitly mentions content about non-Wikimedia projects as not acceptable. Should we delete all of the pages on non-Wikimedia wikis? Some of them I believe to be in scope, as they mention collaboration with Wikimedia or are proposed projects, but others are just mini advertisements for random non-WMF projects. Thoughts?

- @Vermont: open access, UseModWiki, WeRelate, WeRelate/FAQ, WikiPoets, Digibux, all seem to be within scope. I kinda see why Gruppo Logos was made and would defer to Sj about its fate. Other than that, I would axe the rest of the pages in that category. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 06:06, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- Definitely keep Gruppo Logos. –SJ talk 02:14, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
