Hi everyone,

'''The Affiliate voting process has concluded.''' Representatives from each Affiliate organization learned about the candidates by reading candidates’ statements, reviewing candidates’ answers to questions, and considering the candidates’ ratings provided by the Analysis Committee. The selected 2022 Board of Trustees candidates are:

* Tobechukwu Precious Friday ([[:m:User:Tochiprecious|Tochiprecious]])
* Farah Jack Mustaklem ([[:m:User:Fjmustak|Fjmustak]])
* Shani Evenstein Sigalov ([[:m:User:Esh77|Esh77]])
* Kunal Mehta ([[:m:User:Legoktm|Legoktm]])
* Michał Buczyński ([[:m:User:Aegis Maelstrom|Aegis Maelstrom]])
* Mike Peel ([[:m:User:Mike Peel|Mike Peel]])

You may see more information about the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Results|Results]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Stats|Statistics]] of this Board election.

Please take a moment to appreciate the Affiliate Representatives and Analysis Committee members for taking part in this process and helping to grow the Board of Trustees in capacity and diversity. These hours of volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you for your participation.

Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.

Thank you to those who followed the Affiliate process for this Board election. You may review the results of the Affiliate selection process.

'''The next part of the Board election process is the community voting period.''' [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022#Timeline|You may view the Board election timeline here]]. To prepare for the community voting period, there are several things community members can engage with in the following ways:

* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Candidates|Read candidates’ statements]] and read the candidates’ answers to the questions posed by the Affiliate Representatives.
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Questions_for_Candidates|Propose and select the 6 questions for candidates to answer during their video Q&amp;A]].
* See the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Candidates|Analysis Committee’s ratings of candidates on each candidate’s statement]].
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022/Community Voting/Election Compass|Propose statements for the Election Compass]] voters can use to find which candidates best fit their principles.
* Encourage others in your community to take part in the election.

Best,

Hi all,

Volunteers in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022|2022 Board of Trustees election]] are invited to [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass/Statements|vote for statements to use in the Election Compass]]. You can vote for the statements you would like to see included in the Election Compass on Meta-wiki.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

*&lt;s&gt;July 8 - 20: Volunteers propose statements for the Election Compass&lt;/s&gt;
*&lt;s&gt;July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements&lt;/s&gt;
*July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
*August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
*August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
*August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August

Best, 

Movement Strategy and Governance

Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values &amp; Principles, and Roles &amp; Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Content|here]] on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Community Consultation|here]]. 

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three '''“Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter&quot;''' sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.     

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events: 

*&lt;s&gt;'''Asia/Pacific''': November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1667552400 your local time]). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.&lt;/s&gt;
* '''Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa''': November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1668265257 your local time]). Interpretation is available in  Arabic, French and Russian.  
* '''North and South America/ Western Europe''': November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC ([https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1668265257 your local time]). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese. 

On the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Community Consultation|Meta page]] you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

'''Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors'''

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy and Governance/Movement Charter Ambassadors Program/About|Movement Charter Ambassadors]] (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy and Governance/Team|Regional facilitators]] from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy and Governance/Movement Charter Ambassadors Program/About|here]]. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum. 

We thank you for your time and participation.

== Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community ==

:''{{More languages}}''
&lt;section begin=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt; 
The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. 
[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Grants:MSIG/About|Movement Strategy Implementation Grants]] support projects that take the current state of a [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy/Initiatives|Movement Strategy Initiative]] and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Grants:MSIG/Community Engagement Package|community engagement package]]''' helpful.

The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.

If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement_Strategy_and_Governance/Team|regional facilitators]] to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Grants:MSIG/About |this page]] to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.

Best regards, &lt;br&gt; Movement Strategy and Governance Team &lt;br&gt; Wikimedia Foundation&lt;section end=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.

'''About the Ombuds commission'''

The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CheckUser policy|CheckUser]] and [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Oversight policy|Oversight]] (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds commission|see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki]]'''.

Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve '''two-year terms''' (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

'''About the Case Review Committee'''

The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust &amp; Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Case Review Committee|see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki]]'''.

We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Trust_and_Safety/Case_Review_Committee/Charter|terms of the Committee charter]]. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve '''two-year terms''' (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

'''Applying to join either of these groups'''

Members are required to sign the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information|Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information]] and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Access to nonpublic information policy|access to non-public information policy]] and the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Privacy policy|Foundation privacy policy]]). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.

'''If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above,''' please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:

* Your primary projects
* Languages you speak/write
* Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
* Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
* Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
* Any other information you think is relevant

'''The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.'''

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!

On behalf of the Committee Support team,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;section end=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;

Hello,

As follow-up to [https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/IOMVS7W75ZYMABQGOQ2QH2JAURC3CHGH/ the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines] by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

* Community members in good standing
* Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
* Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
* Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
* Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
* Confidently able to communicate in English

The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/U4C_Building_Committee/Nominations|sign up on the Meta-Wiki page]], or contact ucocproject[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023.

Apologies if this message does not reach you in your favorite language. [[:m:User:Elitre (WMF)/ISBN|You can help translate it centrally at Meta]]. Thanks for your help. 

We have recently become unable to access the WorldCat API which provided the ability to generate citations using ISBN numbers. The Wikimedia Foundation's [[mw:Editing_team|Editing team]] is investigating several options to restore the functionality, but will need to disable ISBN citation generation for now.

This affects citations made with the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:VisualEditor/User_guide/Citations-Full#Automatic|VisualEditor Automatic tab]], and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts, such as the autofill button on [[:en:Wikipedia:RefToolbar|refToolbar]]. Please note that all the other automatic ways of generating citations, including via URL or DOI, are still available.

You can keep updated on the situation [[phab:T336298|via Phabricator]], or by reading the next issues of [[m:Tech News]]. If you know of any users or groups who rely heavily on this feature (for instance, someone who has an upcoming editathon), I'd appreciate it if you shared this update with them.

This wiki will soon be able to use the [[mw:Help:Extension:Phonos#Inline_audio_player_mode|inline audio player]] implemented by the [[mw:Extension:Phonos|Phonos]] extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing [[m:Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Multimedia_and_Commons/Audio_links_that_play_on_click|audio links that play on click]].

With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:
&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot;&gt;
&lt;phonos file=&quot;audio file&quot; label=&quot;Listen&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;
The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the [[wiktionary:en:English#Pronunciation|English Wiktionary]] below.

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot;&gt;
{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

Could become:

&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;wikitext&quot;&gt;
&lt;phonos file=&quot;En-uk-English.oga&quot; label=&quot;Audio (UK)&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:Phonos|read about the features]] and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this [[mw:Help_talk:Extension:Phonos|talk page]].

I am pleased to share the next step in the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] work. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter]] is now ready for your review. 

The [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement guidelines|Enforcement Guidelines]] require a [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_guidelines#4.5_U4C_Building_Committee|Building Committee]] form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Enforcement_guidelines#4._UCoC_Coordinating_Committee_(U4C)|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)]]. Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/U4C Building Committee#Conversation hours|conversation hours]] or on [[m:Talk:Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|Meta-wiki]].

== Invitation for Wikisource Community Meeting October 2023 ==

Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!

This meeting time is Eastern Hemisphere-focused and we will alternate the meeting times every month.

The first half of the meeting will be focused on non-technical updates and conversations like events, conferences, proofread-a-thons and collaborations.

== The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks? ==

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the [[mw:Reading/Web|Wikimedia Foundation Web team]]. '''In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.'''
[[File:Desktop Improvements - how to enable globally.png|thumb|[[Special:GlobalPreferences|{{int:globalpreferences}}]]]]
'''If you prefer keeping the current skin''' select &quot;Vector legacy (2010)&quot; on [[Special:GlobalPreferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|the appearance tab of the global preferences]] and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|local]] (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

=== About the skin ===
[[File:Wikimania 2022 Vector (2022) Presentation.pdf|thumb|Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC-ItaXDe2A You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English)].]]
'''[Why is a change necessary]''' When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. [[wmfblog:2022/08/18/prioritizing-equity-within-wikipedias-new-desktop/|The old Vector does not meet their needs]].

'''[Objective]''' The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Community_Wishlist_Survey|Community Wishlist Surveys]], and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. [[phab:phame/post/view/290/how_and_why_we_moved_our_skins_to_mustache/|The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%]]. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[[File:Screenshot of the Vector-2022 skin's fullscreen toggle.png|thumb]]
'''[Changes in a nutshell]''' The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
* The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
* The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
* The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
* The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
* The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
'''[Customize this skin]''' It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Repository|the repository]] for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

=== Our plan ===

'''If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November'''. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements/Frequently asked questions|our FAQ]]. Thank you!

Hello all,

I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter/Vote results|report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification]] is now available. Secondly, the call for candidates for the U4C is open now through April 1, 2024.

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee]] (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Charter|review the U4C Charter]].

Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.

Dear all,

This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections committee|Elections Committee]] will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. 

Here are the key planned dates:

*  May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
*  June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
*  June-August 2024: Campaign period
*  End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
*  October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
*  Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|this Meta-wiki page]], and make your plan.

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024/Election Volunteers|Meta-wiki page]].

Hi everyone. We are the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Wikimedia Foundation Web team]]. As you may have read in our previous message, over the past year, we have been getting closer to switching every wiki to the Vector 2022 skin as the new default. In our previous conversations with Wikisource communities, we had identified an issue with the Index namespace that prevented switching the skin on. [[phab:T352162|This issue is now resolved]].

We are now ready to continue and will be deploying on Wikisource wikis on '''March 25th'''. 

To learn more about the new skin and what improvements it introduces, please [[mw:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements|see our documentation]]. If you have any issues with the skin after the change, if you spot any gadgets not working, or notice any bugs – please comment below! We are also open to joining events like the [[m:Wikisource Community meetings|Wikisource Community meetings]] to talk to you directly. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter/Ratification/Voting#Electoral Commission|Charter Electoral Commission]] is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Movement Charter#Thank you for your participation in the Movement Charter ratification vote!|communicated]] by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on '''July 9, 23:59 UTC'''. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.

The final results of the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Charter|Wikimedia Movement Charter]] ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows: 

'''Individual vote:'''

Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, '''1,710''' voted “yes”; '''623''' voted “no”; and '''113''' selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).

'''Affiliates vote:'''

Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, '''93''' voted “yes”; '''18''' voted “no”; and '''18''' selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).

'''Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:'''

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted '''not to ratify''' the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Board_resolution_and_vote_on_the_proposed_Movement_Charter|shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps]].  

With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is '''not ratified'''.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.

The Charter Electoral Commission,

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election]]. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

# [[User:Kritzolina|Christel Steigenberger]]
# [[User:Nadzik|Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz]]
# [[User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]]
# [[User:Laurentius|Lorenzo Losa]]

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of [[:m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]]: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. 

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at [[:m:Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]]. Thank you in advance! -- [[User:Sannita (WMF)|Sannita (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Sannita (WMF)|&lt;span class=&quot;signature-talk&quot;&gt;{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}&lt;/span&gt;]]) २०:५७, २२ मे २०२५ (IST)

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

* May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
* June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
* July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
* August 2025: Campaign period
* August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
* October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
* Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]].

'''Call for Questions'''

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]]

'''Election Volunteers'''

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]]

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;
Dear Wikimedia Community,

The [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee (CAC)]]  of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned [[m:Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee/Sister Projects Task Force|the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF)]] to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki [[m:Wikimedia projects|projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)]].

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.

Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. '''Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources'''. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.

Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.

Lastly, '''failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones'''. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.

Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.

=== Wikispore ===

The [[m:Wikispore|application to consider Wikispore]] was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.

After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided '''not to recommend''' Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows '''better flexibility''' and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support. 

We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.

As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.

Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.

=== Wikinews ===

We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.

Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WCNA_2024._Sister_Projects_-_opening%3F_closing%3F_merging%3F_splitting%3F.pdf &lt;nowiki&gt;[1]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force#Wikimania_2023_session_%22Sister_Projects:_past,_present_and_the_glorious_future%22 &lt;nowiki&gt;[2]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[3]&lt;/nowiki&gt;] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.

While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_English_Wikinews &lt;nowiki&gt;[4]&lt;/nowiki&gt;][https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConvention_francophone/2024/Programme/Quelle_proc%C3%A9dure_pour_ouvrir_ou_fermer_un_projet_%3F &lt;nowiki&gt;[5]&lt;/nowiki&gt;, see section 5] as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects/Archive_2#Close_Wikinews_completely,_all_languages? &lt;nowiki&gt;[6]&lt;/nowiki&gt;].

[[:c:File:Sister Projects Taskforce Wikinews review 2024.pdf|Initial metrics]] compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.

Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.

SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.

'''Options''' mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
*Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
*Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
*Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
*Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.

=== Feedback and next steps ===

We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: [[m:Public consultation about Wikispore|Public consultation about Wikispore]] and [[m:Public consultation about Wikinews|Public consultation about Wikinews]]. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.

I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;  Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;
Hello everyone,  

''(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)''

The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikisource, including this Wikisource, during the '''week of August 25th'''.

This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.

The three main features of this extension are:

* '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
*  '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''.
*  '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.

'''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''&quot;Event Organizer&quot;''', which will be managed by administrators on this Wikisource. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.

The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''all Wikipedia, Meta, Wikidata''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]])

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.

Thank you! &lt;section end=&quot;message&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

== &lt;span lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Temporary accounts will be rolled out soon&lt;/span&gt; ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
&lt;section begin=&quot;body&quot;/&gt;
Hello, we are the Wikimedia Foundation [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Product Safety and Integrity|Product Safety and Integrity]] team. We would like to announce that '''we plan to enable [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] for this wiki in the week of September 1'''.

Temporary accounts are successfully live on 30 wikis, including many large ones like German, Japanese, and French. The change they bring is especially relevant to logged-out editors, who this feature is designed to protect. But it is also relevant to community members like mentors, patrollers, and admins – anyone who reverts edits, blocks users, or otherwise interacts with logged-out editors as part of keeping the wikis safe and accurate. 

'''Why we are building temporary accounts'''

Our wikis should be safer to edit by default for logged-out editors. Temporary accounts allow people to continue editing the wikis without creating an account, while avoiding publicly tying their edits to their IP address. We believe this is in the best interest of our logged-out editors, who make valuable contributions to the wikis and who may later create accounts and grow our community of editors, admins, and other roles. Even though the wikis do warn logged-out editors that their IP address will be associated with their edit, many people may not understand what an IP address is, or that it could be used to connect them to other information about them in ways they might not expect. 

Additionally, our moderation software and tools rely too heavily on network origin (IP addresses) to identify users and patterns of activity, especially as IP addresses themselves are becoming less stable as identifiers. Temporary accounts allow for more precise interactions with logged-out editors, including more precise blocks, and can help limit how often we unintentionally end up blocking good-faith users who use the same IP addresses as bad-faith users.

'''How temporary accounts work'''
[[File:Temporary account banner and empty talk page.png|thumb]]
Any time a logged-out user publishes an edit on this wiki, a cookie will be set in this user's browser, and a temporary account tied with this cookie will be automatically created. This account's name will follow the pattern: &lt;code dir=ltr&gt;~2025-12345-67&lt;/code&gt; (a tilde, current year, a number). On pages like Recent Changes or page history, this name will be displayed. The cookie will expire 90 days after its creation. As long as it exists, all edits made from this device will be attributed to this temporary account. It will be the same account even if the IP address changes, unless the user clears their cookies or uses a different device or web browser. A record of the IP address used at the time of each edit will be stored for 90 days after the edit. However, only some logged-in users will be able to see it.

'''What does this mean for different groups of users?'''

'''For logged-out editors'''

* This increases privacy: currently, if you do not use a registered account to edit, then everybody can see the IP address for the edits you made, even after 90 days. That will no longer be possible on this wiki.
* If you use a temporary account to edit from different locations in the last 90 days (for example at home and at a coffee shop), the edit history and the IP addresses for all those locations will now be recorded together, for the same temporary account. Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the relevant requirements]] will be able to view this data. If this creates any personal security concerns for you, please contact talktohumanrights at wikimedia.org for advice.

'''For community members interacting with logged-out editors'''

* A temporary account is uniquely linked to a device. In comparison, an IP address can be shared with different devices and people (for example, different people at school or at work might have the same IP address).
* Compared to the current situation, it will be safer to assume that a temporary user's talk page belongs to only one person, and messages left there will be read by them. As you can see in the screenshot, temporary account users will receive notifications. It will also be possible to thank them for their edits, ping them in discussions, and invite them to get more involved in the community.

'''For users who use IP address data to moderate and maintain the wiki'''

* '''For patrollers''' who track persistent abusers, investigate violations of policies, etc.: Users who [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Access_to_temporary_account_IP_addresses|meet the requirements]] will be able to reveal temporary users' IP addresses and all contributions made by temporary accounts from a specific IP address or range ([[Special:IPContributions]]). They will also have access to useful information about the IP addresses thanks to the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/IP Info|IP Info]] feature. Many other pieces of software have been built or adjusted to work with temporary accounts, including AbuseFilter, global blocks, Global User Contributions, and more. (For information for volunteer developers on how to update the code of your tools – see the last part of the message.)
* '''For admins blocking logged-out editors''':
** It will be possible to block many abusers by just blocking their temporary accounts. A blocked person won't be able to create new temporary accounts quickly if the admin selects the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Autoblock|autoblock]] option.
** It will still be possible to block an IP address or IP range.
* Temporary accounts will not be retroactively applied to contributions made before the deployment. On Special:Contributions, you will be able to see existing IP user contributions, but not new contributions made by temporary accounts on that IP address. Instead, you should use Special:IPContributions for this.

'''Our requests for you, and next steps'''

* If you know of any tools, bots, gadgets etc. using data about IP addresses or being available for logged-out users, you may want to test if they work on [[testwiki:Main_Page|testwiki]] or [[test2wiki:Main_Page|test2wiki]]. If you are a volunteer developer, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers|read our documentation for developers]], and in particular, the section on [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/For developers#How should I update my code?|how your code might need to be updated]].
* If you want to test the temporary account experience, for example just to check what it feels like, go to testwiki or test2wiki and edit without logging in.
* Tell us if you know of any difficulties that need to be addressed. We will try to help, and if we are not able, we will consider the available options.
* Look at our [[m:Meta:Babel#Temporary_Accounts:_access_to_IP_addresses_and_next_steps|previous message]] about requirements for users without extended rights who may need access to IP addresses.

You may also [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|look at the updates]] (we have just posted one) and [[mw:Newsletter:Product Safety and Integrity|subscribe to our new newsletter]].

== Upcoming Dark Mode user interface rollout for anonymous Wikimedia sites users ==

&lt;div lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;
{{int:Hello}} Wikimedians,

Apologies if this message is not in your language. {{int:please-translate}}.

The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web|Reader Experience team]] will launch the Dark mode feature for anonymous users on all Wikimedia sites, including yours, on October 29, 2025.

[[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Light-on-dark color scheme|Dark mode]] is an option that allows users to view pages in light-coloured text, and icons on a dark background. Once it is available for anonymous users, they can enable it when using various devices. More information on ways to enable it can be found on [[:en:Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia:Dark mode#Options for anyone|this page]].
Given many pages are still not compatible with dark mode this will be an opt-in feature and not automatically apply to pages.

Dark mode requires modifications to content pages and templates, and since our initial launch [https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/07/17/dark-modes-bright-future-how-dark-mode-will-transform-wikipedias-accessibility/ in July 2024], we have been working with communities and helping them prepare for dark mode. Before the rollout, it is essential that template authors and technical contributors test dark mode and read [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Updates/2024-04|this page]] to learn how to make pages Dark mode-ready and address any compatibility issues found in templates.

We will fix most color compatibility issues only on the most-viewed pages on projects with over 5 million monthly page views. Technical contributors with an account should opt into dark mode currently using preferences or settings and test pages and seek help before the release to ensure everything complies before the enablement.

If you have any questions or need help, please [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading#|contact the Reader Experience team]] for support.

Thank you!
&lt;/div&gt;

सध्या साहित्यिक विषयक लेखापाशी पोहोचण्यासाठी 'साहित्यिक' हा शब्द पूर्ण टंकावा लागतो  जसे '''साहित्यिक:साहित्यिकाचे नाव'''. मराठी विकिस्रोत प्रकल्पाने साहित्यिक शब्दासाठी 'सा' अक्षर अथवा 'ले' (लेखक/लेखिकाचे अद्याक्षर) हे अक्षर लघुरुप म्हणून स्विकारल्यास केवळ '''सा:''' अथवा केवळ '''ले:''' हे अक्षर आणि साहित्यिकाचे नाव टंकल्यास संबंधीत साहित्यिकापर्यंत पोहोचता येईल.

 
'''सा:''' अथवा  '''ले:''' पैकी कोणते स्विकारावे या बद्दल आपापले ओपीनियन मांडण्याची विनंती आहे.

== मराठी विकिपीडिया, विकिस्रोत व विक्शनरी प्रकल्पांवर चर्चासत्र ==

मराठी विकिपीडिया, विकिसोर्स व विक्शनरी हे लोकसहभागातून ज्ञान निर्मितीचे उपक्रम आहेत. अनेकांनी विधायक सहभाग घेतल्यास, एकमेकांशी सौजन्याने वागल्यास व चुका दुरुस्त करत राहिल्यास किती उत्तम दर्जाची विश्वसनीय माहिती संकलित होऊ शकते ह्याचे इंग्रजी, जर्मन, जपानी, कोरियन असे अनेक विकिपीडिया हे उत्तम उदाहरण आहेत. भारतीय लोक फेसबुक, व्हॉटसअप, ट्विटर इ. सोशल मिडिया खूप हाताळतात, पण २१ भारतीय भाषांत हा प्रकल्प सुरु झाला असूनही त्यांनी विकिपीडिया, विकिसोर्स व विक्शनरीकडे दुर्लक्ष केलेले आहे.बहुभाषीय भारतात तर ह्या प्रकल्पाचा प्रभावी विस्तार करणे खूपच समयोचित आहे.&lt;br /&gt;

हे उद्दिष्ट समोर ठेवून विविध विषयातील ज्ञान आणि विश्वसनीय माहिती मराठीतून सर्व समाजाला सहजपणे व मुक्तपणे उपलब्ध व्हावी यासाठी मराठी विकिपीडिया, विकिसोर्स व विक्शनरी या प्रकल्पांमध्ये सुव्यवस्थित योजना बनवून काम करण्याची गरज आहे. यासाठी  रावत नेचर अकॅडमी , गोखले राज्यशास्त्र व अर्थशास्त्र संस्था यांनी पुढाकार घेतला आहे. तांत्रिक सहकार्य द सेंटर फॉर इंटरनेट अँड सोसायटी करत आहे. या विषयावर प्रात्यक्षिकांसह चर्चासत्र गोखले संस्थेमधील सेमिनार हॉलमध्ये २९ एप्रिल २०१७ रोजी दुपारी ३ ते ६ या वेळेत आयोजित करण्यात आले आहे. सर्वांना सदर निमंत्रण.&lt;br /&gt;

Hello all,

As '''[[:m:COVID-19|COVID-19]]''' has forced the Wikimedia communities to stay at home and like many other affiliates, CIS-A2K has decided to suspend all offline activities till 15th September 2020 (or till further notice). I present to you for an online training session for future coming months.

1. '''[[Indic Wikisource Helpdesk/Skill sharing|Wikisource Skill Share]]''', a capacity-building initiative, where Indic Wikisource contributors, both newcomers and experienced, can share knowledge and skills with each other and clear confusions. Most of the time, it will be done online on 1:1 basis, so it is just the right time to participate there if you have not planned to do it or done it already. Let's learn Wikisource together! I would like to invite experienced Indic Wikisource contributors and sign your name at '''[[:m:Indic_Wikisource_Helpdesk/Skill_sharing#Willing_to_respond|Willing to respond section]]'''. Newcomer or any  Indic Wikisource contributors are welcome to join the session with your queries and doubts.  

2. '''[[:m:Indic Wikisource Helpdesk/Intensive Personalized Training|Intensive Personalized Training (or IPT)]]''', this also a  capacity-building initiative, where Indic Wikisource contributors, especially newcomers could come with his/her queries and doubts. I, myself will share my knowledge and skills with each contributor and clear confusions. It will be done online on a 1:1 basis, so it is just the right time to participate there if you have not planned to do so.

3. Online Proofread-edithon for all 12 Indic Wikisource language projects. We are planning for an indic level online proofreadthon from 1 May 2020 to 10 May 2020. The book of the subject will be the classical literature of your languages. We’ll share details about this in a separate email/announcement in a couple of days.

==मुद्रितशोधन अभियानाचा कालावधी अलीकडे घेण्याबद्दल==
नमस्कार. मुद्रितशोधन अभियानाचा कालावधी १ ते १० मे असा ठरवण्यात आलेला आहे. ३ मे पर्यंत देशात लॉक डाऊन आहे, पण त्यानंतर महाराष्ट्रातील काही भागात लॉक डाऊन शिथील होण्याची शक्यता आहे, असे वाटते. या पार्श्वभूमीवर १ ते १० मे पेक्षा ३ मेपर्यंत सर्वाना या अभियानात काम करण्यासाठी जास्त वेळ देणे शक्य आहे, असे काही इच्छुक लोकांशी बोलल्यावर लक्षात आले आहे. तर हा कालावधी अलीकडे आणता येईल का? आणि मराठी विकीस्रोतासाठी हे अभियान लगेचच सुरू करता येईल का? यावर विचार व्हावा. इतर सदस्यांनीसुद्धा याबाबत आपले मत मांडावे,अशी विनंती.&lt;BR&gt;

Greetings, hope this message finds you all in the best of your health, and you are staying safe amid the ongoing crisis. 

Firstly, to give you context, [[m:Small wiki toolkits|Small wiki toolkits]] (SWT) is an initiative to support [[m:Small_and_large_wikis#Small_wikis|small wiki]] communities, to learn and share technical and semi-technical skills to support, maintain, and grow. In India, a [[m:SWT Indic Workshop Series 2020/Overview|series of workshops]] were conducted last year, and they received good response. They are being continued this year, and the first  session is: '''Understanding the technical challenges of wikis''' (by [[m:User:BMueller (WMF)|Birgit]]): Brainstorming about technical challenges faced by contributors contributing to language projects related to South Asia. The session is on 24 January 2021, at 18:00 to 19:30 (India time), 18:15 to 19:45 (Nepal time), and 18:30 to 20:00 pm (Bangladesh time).

== [Small wiki toolkits] Upcoming bots workshops: Understanding community needs ==

Greetings, as you may be aware that as part of [[:m:SWT_South_Asia|Small wiki toolkits - South Asia]], we conduct a workshop every month on technical topics to help small wikis. In February, we are planning on organizing a workshop on the topic of bots. Bots are automated tools that carry out repetitive, tedious and mundane tasks. To help us structure the workshop, we would like understand the needs of the community in this regard. Please let us know any of 
* a) repetitive/mundane tasks that you generally do, especially for maintenance
*b) tasks you think can be automated on your wiki.
Please let us your inputs on [[:m:Talk:SWT_South_Asia/Workshops#Upcoming_bots_workshops%3A_Understanding_community_needs|'''workshops talk page''']], before 7 February 2021. You can also let me know your inputs by [[Special:EmailUser/KCVelaga|emailing me]] or pinging me here in this section.

== Call for feedback: WMF Community Board seats &amp; Office hours tomorrow ==

''(sorry for posting in English)''

Dear Wikimedians,

The [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees|Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees]] is organizing a [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats|'''call for feedback''']] about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. Below you will find the problem statement and various ideas from the Board to address it. We are offering multiple channels for questions and feedback. With the help of a team of community facilitators, we are organizing multiple conversations with multiple groups in multiple languages.

During this call for feedback we publish weekly reports and we draft the final report that will be delivered to the Board. With the help of this report, the Board will approve the next steps to organize the selection of six community seats in the upcoming months. Three of these seats are due for renewal and three are new, recently approved.

'''Participate in this call for feedback and help us form a more diverse and better performing Board of Trustees!'''

&lt;u&gt;'''Problems:'''&lt;/u&gt; While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. This problem was identified in the Board’s 2019 governance review, along with recommendations for how to address it.

To solve the problem of capacity, we have agreed to increase the Board size to a maximum of 16 trustees (it was 10). Regarding performance and diversity, we have approved criteria to evaluate new Board candidates. What is missing is a process to promote community candidates that represent the diversity of our movement and have the skills and experience to perform well on the Board of a complex global organization.

Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. Meanwhile, our movement has grown larger and more complex, our technical and strategic needs have increased, and we have new and more difficult policy challenges around the globe. As well, our Movement Strategy recommendations urge us to increase our diversity and promote perspectives from other regions and other social backgrounds.

In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. What process can we all design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees?

&lt;u&gt;'''Ideas:'''&lt;/u&gt; The Board has discussed several ideas to overcome the problems mentioned above. Some of these ideas could be taken and combined, and some discarded. Other ideas coming from the call for feedback could be considered as well. The ideas are:
*&lt;u&gt;Ranked voting system.&lt;/u&gt; Complete the move to a single transferable vote system, already used to appoint affiliate-selected seats, which is designed to best capture voters’ preferences.
*&lt;u&gt;Quotas.&lt;/u&gt; Explore the possibility of introducing quotas to ensure certain types of diversity in the Board (details about these quotas to be discussed in this call for feedback).
*&lt;u&gt;Call for types of skills and experiences.&lt;/u&gt; When the Board makes a new call for candidates, they would specify types of skills and experiences especially sought.
*&lt;u&gt;Vetting of candidates.&lt;/u&gt; Potential candidates would be assessed using the Trustee Evaluation Form and would be confirmed or not as eligible candidates.
*&lt;u&gt;Board-delegated selection committee.&lt;/u&gt; The community would nominate candidates that this committee would assess and rank using the Trustee Evaluation Form. This committee would have community elected members and Board appointed members.
*&lt;u&gt;Community-elected selection committee.&lt;/u&gt; The community would directly elect the committee members. The committee would assess and rank candidates using the Trustee Evaluation Form.
*&lt;u&gt;Election of confirmed candidates.&lt;/u&gt; The community would vote for community nominated candidates that have been assessed and ranked using the Trustee Evaluation Form. The Board would appoint the most voted candidates.
*&lt;u&gt;Direct appointment of confirmed candidates.&lt;/u&gt; After the selection committee produces a ranked list of community nominated candidates, the Board would appoint the top-ranked candidates directly.

&lt;u&gt;'''Call for feedback:'''&lt;/u&gt; The [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats|call for feedback]] runs from February 1 until the end of March 14. We are looking for a broad representation of opinions. We are interested in the reasoning and the feelings behind your opinions. In a conversation like this one, details are important. We want to support good conversations where everyone can share and learn from others. We want to hear from those who understand Wikimedia governance well and are already active in movement conversations. We also want to hear from people who do not usually contribute to discussions. Especially those who are active in their own roles, topics, languages or regions, but usually not in, say, a call for feedback on Meta.

You can participate by joining the [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats#How_to_participate|Telegram chat group]], and giving feedback on any of the talk pages on Meta-Wiki. We are welcoming the organisation of conversations in any language and in any channel. If you want us to organize a conversation or a meeting for your wiki project or your affiliate, please write to me. I will also reach out to communities and affiliates to soon have focused group discussions.

An [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/2021-02-02_-_First_Office_Hour|'''office hour''']] is also happening '''tomorrow at 12 pm (UTC)''' to discuss this topic. Access link will be available 15 minutes before the scheduled time (please watch the office hour page for the link, and I will also share on mailing lists). In case you are not able to make it, please don't worry, there will be more discussions and meetings in the next few weeks.

== Wikimedia Foundation Community Board seats: Call for feedback meeting ==

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes[1] between February 1 and March 14. While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. As a matter of fact, there had only been one member who served on the Board, from South Asia, in more than fifteen years of history.

In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. This call for feedback is to see what processes can we all collaboratively design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees? In this regard, it would be good to have a community discussion to discuss the proposed ideas and share our thoughts, give feedback and contribute to the process. To discuss this, you are invited to a community meeting that is being organized on March 12 from 8 pm to 10 pm, and the meeting link to join is https://meet.google.com/umc-attq-kdt. You can add this meeting to your Google Calendar by clicking here[2]. Please ping me if you have any questions.

== WMF Community Board seats: Upcoming panel discussions ==

As a result of the first three weeks of the [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats|call for feedback on WMF Community Board seats]], three topics turned out to be the focus of the discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the further development of the panel's topics.

== Call for Election Volunteers: 2021 WMF Board elections ==

Hello all,

Based on an [[:m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Main report|extensive call for feedback]] earlier this year, the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation  Board of Trustees [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/2021-04-15_Resolution_about_the_upcoming_Board_elections|announced the plan for the 2021 Board elections]]. Apart from improving the technicalities of the process, the Board is also keen on improving active participation from communities in the election process. During the last elections, Voter turnout in prior elections was about 10% globally. It was better in communities with volunteer election support. Some of those communities reached over 20% voter turnout. We know we can get more voters to help assess and promote the best candidates, but to do that, we need your help.

We are looking for volunteers to serve as Election Volunteers. Election Volunteers should have a good understanding of their communities. The facilitation team sees Election Volunteers as doing the following:

*Promote the election and related calls to action in community channels.
*With the support from facilitators, organize discussions about the election in their communities.

== Candidates from South Asia for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board Elections ==

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation has started [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021|elections for community seats]] on the Board of Trustees. While previously there were three community seats on the Board, with the expansion of the Board to sixteen seats last year, community seats have been increased to eight, four of which are up for election this year. 

In the last fifteen years of the Board's history, there were only a few candidates from the South Asian region who participated in the elections, and hardly anyone from the community had a chance to serve on the Board. While there are several reasons for this, this time, the Board and WMF are very keen on encouraging and providing support to potential candidates from historically underrepresented regions. This is a good chance to change the historical problem of representation from the South Asian region in high-level governance structures.

Ten days after the call for candidates began, there aren't any [[:m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2021/Candidates#Candidate_Table|candidates from South Asia]] yet, there are still 10 days left! I would like to ask community members to encourage other community members, whom you think would be potential candidates for the Board. While the final decision is completely up to the person, it can be helpful to make sure that they are aware of the election and the call for candidates.

Let me know if you need any information or support.

Thank you, [[:m:User:KCVelaga (WMF)|KCVelaga (WMF)]] १५:३३, १९ जून २०२१ (IST)

== Results of 2021 Wikimedia Foundation elections ==

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2021 Board election. The Elections Committee has reviewed the votes of the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election, organized to select four new trustees. A record 6,873 people from across 214 projects cast their valid votes. The following four candidates received the most support:

*Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
*Victoria Doronina
*Dariusz Jemielniak
*Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the community vote, they are not yet appointed to the Board of Trustees. They still need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. The Board has set a tentative date to appoint new trustees at the end of this month.

== Universal Code of Conduct EDGR conversation hour for South Asia ==

Dear Wikimedians,

As you may already know, the [[:m:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] (UCoC) provides a baseline of behaviour for collaboration on Wikimedia projects worldwide. Communities may add to this to develop policies that take account of local and cultural context while maintaining the criteria listed here as a minimum standard. The Wikimedia Foundation Board has ratified the policy in December 2020.

The [[:m:Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement draft guidelines review|current round of conversations]] is around how the Universal Code of Conduct should be enforced across different Wikimedia platforms and spaces. This will include training of community members to address harassment, development of technical tools to report harassment, and different levels of handling UCoC violations, among other key areas.

The conversation hour is an opportunity for community members from South Asia to discuss and provide their feedback, which will be passed on to the drafting committee. The details of the conversation hour are as follows:

*Date: 16 September
*Time: Bangladesh: 5:30 pm to 7 pm, India &amp; Sri Lanka: 5 pm to 6:30 pm, Nepal: 5:15 pm to 5:45 pm

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

* What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?

* What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

'''Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?'''

Contact the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy and Governance|Movement Strategy and Governance team]] on Meta, on [https://t.me/wmboardgovernancechat Telegram], or via email at msg[[File:At sign.svg|16x16px|link=|(_AT_)]]wikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022. 

With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.

There are two confirmed questions that will be asked during this Call for Feedback:

# What is the best way to ensure more diverse representation among elected candidates?  ''The Board of Trustees noted the importance of selecting candidates who represent the full diversity of the Wikimedia movement. The current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Europe.''
# What are the expectations for the candidates during the election?  ''Board candidates have traditionally completed applications and answered community questions. How can an election provide appropriate insight into candidates while also appreciating candidates’ status as volunteers?''

There is one additional question that may be presented during the Call about selection processes. This question is still under discussion, but the Board wanted to give insight into the confirmed questions as soon as possible. Hopefully if an additional question is going to be asked, it will be ready during the first week of the Call for Feedback.

== Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022 Postponed ==

Dear Wikimedians,

We want to give you an update related to Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022. [[:m:Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022|Wikimedia Wikimeet India 2022]] (or WMWM2022) was to be conducted from 18 to 20 February 2022 and is postponed now.

Currently, we are seeing a new wave of the pandemic that is affecting many people around. Although WMWM is an online event, it has multiple preparation components such as submission, registration, RFC etc which require community involvement.

We feel this may not be the best time for extensive community engagement. We have also received similar requests from Wikimedians around us. Following this observation, please note that we are postponing the event, and the new dates will be informed on the mailing list and on the event page.
Although the main WMWM is postponed, we may conduct a couple of brief calls/meets (similar to the [[:m:Stay safe, stay connected|Stay safe, stay connected]] call) on the mentioned date, if things go well.

We'll also get back to you about updates related to WMWM once the situation is better. Thank you [[सदस्य:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[सदस्य चर्चा:MediaWiki message delivery|चर्चा]]) १२:५८, २७ जानेवारी २०२२ (IST)

== Announcing Indic Hackathon 2022 and Scholarship Applications ==

Dear Wikimedians, we are happy to announce that the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group will be organizing [[m:Indic Hackathon 2022|Indic Hackathon 2022]], a regional event as part of the main [[mw:Wikimedia Hackathon 2022|Wikimedia Hackathon 2022]] taking place in a hybrid mode during 20-22 May 2022. The event will take place in Hyderabad. The regional event will be in-person with support for virtual participation. As it is with any hackathon, the event’s program will be semi-structured i.e. while we will have some sessions in sync with the main hackathon event, the rest of the time will be upto participants’ interest on what issues they are interested to work on. The event page can be seen on [[m:Indic Hackathon 2022|this page]].

In this regard, we would like to invite community members who would like to attend in-person to fill out a [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc1lhp8IdXNxL55sgPmgOKzfWxknWzN870MvliqJZHhIijY5A/viewform?usp=sf_link form for scholarship application] by 17 April, which is available on the event page. Please note that the hackathon won’t be focusing on training of new skills, and it is expected that applications have some experience/knowledge contributing to technical areas of the Wikimedia movement. Please post on the event talk page if you have any queries.

&lt;b&gt;Date and Time&lt;/b&gt;

The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.

The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017.  Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election. 

There were a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 that produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help increase the participation even more?

Election volunteers will help in the following areas:
* Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
* Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions

Volunteers should:

* Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
* Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner

Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Movement Strategy and Governance/Election Volunteers/About|here]] to receive updates. You can use the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Talk:Movement Strategy and Governance/Election Volunteers/About|talk page]] for questions about translation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;section end=&quot;announcement-content&quot; /&gt;

Hi all,

Community members are invited to ''' [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2022/Community_Voting/Election_Compass|propose statements to use in the Election Compass]]''' for the [[metawiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2022|2022 Board of Trustees election.]] 

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/neutral/disagree). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

* July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
* July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
* July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
* August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
* August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
* August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Regards,

Movement Strategy &amp; Governance

== WikiConference India 2023: Initial conversations ==

Dear Wikimedians,

Hope all of you are doing well. We are glad to inform you to restart the conversation to host the next WikiConference India 2023 after WCI 2020 which was not conducted due to the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, it couldn't take place. However, we are hoping to reinitiate this discussion and for that we need your involvement, suggestions and support to help organize a much needed conference in February-March of 2023. 

The proposed 2023 conference will bring our energies, ideas, learnings, and hopes together. This conference will provide a national-level platform for Indian Wikimedians to connect, re-connect, and establish their collaboration itself can be a very important purpose on its own- in the end it will empower us all to strategize, plan ahead and collaborate- as a movement.

We hope we, the Indian Wikimedia Community members, come together in various capacities and make this a reality. We believe we will take learnings from earlier attempts, improve processes &amp; use best practices in conducting this conference purposefully and fruitfully.

Here is a survey [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfof80NVrf3b9x3AotDBkICe-RfL3O3EyTM_L5JaYM-0GkG1A/viewform form] to get your responses on the same notion. Unfortunately we are working with short timelines since the final date of proposal submission is 5 September. We request you please fill out the form by 28th August. After your responses, we can decide if we have the community need and support for the conference. You are also encouraged to add your support on [[:m:WikiConference_India_2023:_Initial_conversations|'''this page''']], if you support the idea.

Hello all,

In mid-January 2023, the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines|Enforcement Guidelines]] for the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]] will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Enforcement guidelines/Voting/Results|the March 2022 vote]], which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation Community Affairs Committee|Community Affairs Committee]] requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.

The volunteer-led [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Drafting_committee#Revisions_Committee_members|Revisions Committee]] worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.

The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines|here]]''', and a comparison of changes can be found '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines/Comparison|here]]'''.

'''How to vote?'''

Beginning '''January 17, 2023''', voting will be open. '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal Code of Conduct/Revised enforcement guidelines/Voter information|This page on Meta-wiki]]''' outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.

'''Who can vote?'''

The '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Revised enforcement_guidelines/Voter_information#Voting_eligibility|eligibility requirements]]''' for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections.  See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility.  If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.

'''What happens after the vote?''' 

Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

{{right|ता. १९ सप्टेंबर १८९३.}}
{{gap}}इतिहासकालाच्या पूर्वीपासून आजपर्यंत चालत आलेले असे तीन धर्म  आपणास सांप्रत उपलब्ध आहेत. हिंदुधर्म, जरदुष्ट्राचा धर्म आणि यहुदीधर्म. यहुदी धर्माची स्थिति पाहिली तर त्याच्याच पोटांतून निघालेल्या ख्रिस्तीधर्माने त्याची अगदी धुळधाण करून त्यास जन्मभूमीतूनसुद्धां हद्दपार केलें, जरदुष्ट्राच्या धर्माचीहि जवळजवळ तीच अवस्था आहे. पूर्वी जरदुष्ट्राचा धर्म होता इतके दर्शविण्यापुरती मूठभर पारशी लोकांची संख्या सध्या अवशिष्ट राहिली आहे. हिंदुधर्मावरहि अनेक हल्ले आजपर्यंत झाले. खुद्द त्याच धर्मात अनेक पोटपंथ उपस्थित होऊन काही वेळ त्यांचे एवढें प्राबल्य माजलें की वृद्ध वैदिकधर्म आतां नामशेष होतो की काय अशी भीति वाढू लागली. परंतु त्यावेळी दिसणारी पिछेहाट केवळ थोड्या वेळेपुरतीच होती. वैदिकधर्माचे आणि त्याच्यांच पोटांतून निघालेल्या या अनेक पंथांचे युद्ध संपून जरा स्थिरता आल्याबरोबर वैदिकधर्म जीवंत राहिला एवढेच नव्हे, तर पूर्वीपेक्षा दुप्पट जोराने फोफावू लागल्याचे नजरेस आलें. वैदिकधर्माने या सर्व पंथांतील आणि मतांतील तात्विक विचार खाऊन पचवून टाकिले.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}ज्यांचा केवळ लहानसा प्रतिध्वनि आधुनिक भौतिक शास्त्रे काढित आहेत अशा विश्वव्यापी वेदांततत्वांपासून तों पौराणिक कालच्या मूर्तिपूजेपर्यंत व बौद्धांचा शून्यवाद आणि जैनांचा निरीश्वरवाद यांतील सर्व तत्वविचार ज्यांत ग्रथित झाले आहेत असा सांप्रतचा हिंदुधर्म आहे. तर मग या अगदी परस्पर विरुद्ध दिसत असलेल्या तत्वांचे कोठे तरी केंद्रीकरण होणे शक्य आहे काय? अगदी निरनिराळ्या दिसणाऱ्या या इमारतींचा एक सर्वसामान्य पाया असणे शक्य आहे काय? इत्यादि प्रश्नांची परंपरा आपोआप उद्भवते. याच प्रश्नांची समर्पक उत्तरे देण्याचा आज मी यत्न करून पाहणार आहे.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}हिंदुधर्माची मूळ उत्पत्ति वेदांपासून झाली आहे. वेद अपौरुषेय आहेत व आदिअंतरहित आहेत असें हिंदूंचे मत आहे. एखाद्या पुस्तकाला आरंभ नाही व शेवटहि नाही ही गोष्ट तुह्मास खचित हास्यास्पद वाटेल; परंतु&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{gap}}निरनिराळ्या व्यक्तींचा परस्पर आत्मिक संबंध आणि सर्व व्यक्तींचा अथवा व्यष्टीचा समष्टीशी अथवा विश्वात्म्याशी संबंध ज्या सिद्धांतांनी नियत झाला आहे ते सिद्धांत त्रिकालाबाधित आहेत. या सिद्धांतांचा शोध लागण्यापूर्वीहि ते अस्तित्वात होतेच आणि उद्यां आपण ते सर्व विसरून गेलों तरीहि ते राहतीलच, यांत यत्किंचितहि संदेह नाही.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}हे सिद्धांत ज्यांनी शोधून काढिले त्यांस ऋषि असें ह्मणतात, आणि ते पूर्णरूप- परमेश्वरस्वरूप- आहेत असे समजून आम्ही त्यांस मान देतो. यांत कित्येक स्त्रियाहि आहेत हे मी मोठ्या आनंदाने आपणांस सांगतो.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}हे सिद्धांत प्रत्यक्ष रूपानें अंतरहित असतील असें मानिले तरी ते तशा रूपाने अनादि नसावेत असे वाटते. एखादा समाज अस्तित्वात आला ह्मणजे त्याच्या नियमनाकरितां कांहीं कायदे तयार होतात. आणि समाज नष्ट झाला तर त्या कायद्यांचे अस्तित्वहि संपते. आतां त्या कायद्यांतील मूलतत्वे जरी सर्वकाल खरी ठरणारी असली तरी त्यांचे समाजाच्या अस्तित्वानंतरचे अस्तित्व केवळ भावरूप होते. त्या मूलतत्वांचे विधिरूप ह्मणजे कायदे यांचे अस्तित्व समाजाच्या अस्तित्वाबरोबरच संपते. तसेंच वरील सिद्धांतांचे विधिरूप प्रत्यक्ष दृग्गोचर झाले असा काल केव्हांतरी असला पाहिजे अशी कल्पना मनांत येते. ह्मणजे सृष्टि अंतरहित असली तरी अनादि नसावी अशी कल्पना मनांत येते. सृष्टि अनाद्यनंत आहे असें वेदांनी आम्हास सांगितले आहे. जडविश्वांत कितीहि फेरबदल झाले तरी विश्वाच्या चैतन्योत्पादक शक्तींत कमीअधिकपणा येत नाही, असा सिद्धांत भौतिक शास्त्रांनीहि ठरविल्याचे माझ्या ऐकिवांत आहे. तर मग या विश्वास ज्या वेळी सांप्रतचे मूर्तरूप नव्हते त्यावेळी आज दृग्गोचर होणारी ही चैतन्यशक्ति कोठे होती? ती अमूर्तरूपाने परमेश्वराच्या ठिकाणी लीन होती असे या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर कित्येक देतात. ही कल्पना खरी मानिली तर,&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{rule}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;﻿जसा 'मी' भविष्यकाळीं सदोदित राहणार तसाच गतकालींहि 'मी' होतोच. आत्मा हा कोणी निर्माण केलेला नव्हे. कारण, उत्पन्न करणे या शब्दांतच मिश्रण करणे या कल्पनेचा अंतर्भाव होतो. आणि आज जो पदार्थ मिश्रस्थितीत आहे, त्यांतील घटक कालांतराने भिन्न होणार हा नियम आहे. ह्मणजे आत्मा जर कोणी नवा उत्पन्न केलेला असता, तर तोहि केव्हां तरी खचित मेला असता. कित्येक जन्मतःच सुखी असतात. कित्येकांची शरीरसंपत्ति जन्मतःच चांगली असते. त्यांस कशाची कधीहि वाण पडत नाही. कित्येक जन्मतःच दुःखी-कष्टी असतात. कित्येक जन्मतःच लंगडेलुले असतात. कित्येक जन्मतःच वेडे असतात आणि देहपातापर्यंत कसेंबसें आयुष्य कंठित असतात. जर या सर्वांचा उत्पन्नकर्ता कोणी एकच असेल तर असा भेद का हा प्रश्न साहजिक उद्भवतो. परमेश्वर जर न्यायी आणि दयाशील ह्मणवितो तर त्याने उत्पन्न केलेल्या पदार्थात इतकें जमीनअस्मानाचे अंतर कां दिसावें? बरें, आज जे दुःखी आहेत ते पुढे केव्हां तरी सुखी होतील अशी कल्पना करावी तर त्याची खातरजमा कोणी केली आहे काय? ह्मणजे न्यायी आणि दयाशील परमेश्वराने निर्माण केलेल्या सृष्टीत इतका भेद कां हा प्रश्न शेवटी कायमच राहतो.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}'हे सर्व ईश्वरनिर्मित आहे' या कल्पनेने वरील अनेक प्रश्नांचा समाधानकारक निकाल लागण्याचे बाजूस राहून उलट सर्वांवर ताबा चालविणारा असा एक नवाच प्राणी ह्मणजे परमेश्वर आणखी निराळा कल्पावा लागतो. यावरून प्रत्येक प्राण्याला सुखांत अथवा दुःखांत जन्म येण्यास जन्मापूर्वीच कांहीं तरी कारणे घडली असली पाहिजेत हे उघड होते. आणि ही कारणे ह्मणजे त्याच प्राण्याची पूर्वजन्माची कर्मे होत.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}प्रत्येक प्राण्यास पूर्वसंस्कार आहेत हे कबूल केले ह्मणजे प्रत्येकाची निरनिराळी मनःप्रवृत्ति का, या प्रश्नाचा समाधानकारक उलगडा होतो. प्रत्येक प्राण्यांत आपणास दोन भिन्नधर्मी पदार्थाचे मिश्रण आढळून येते. या पदार्थांपैकी एक पदार्थ जडशरीर आणि दुसरा चैतन्यात्मक मन हा होय. आपणापुढे जी प्रश्नपरंपरा उभी राहते तिचा समाधानकारक निकाल जडपदार्थाच्या शास्त्रसिद्धांतांनी लागण्यासारखा असेल तर आत्म्याचे निराळे अस्तित्व मानण्याचे कारण उरत नाही. परंतु जड पदार्थात विचारशक्ति उत्पन्न करण्याचे सामर्थ्य आहे ही गोष्ट सिद्ध करता येत नाही.{{nop}}&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{rule}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;{{gap}}प्रत्येक प्राण्याच्या शरीरावर आनुवंशिक संस्कारांची उघड चिन्हें दिसतात ही गोष्ट आपणांस नाकबूल करता येणार नाहीं; तथापि ही चिन्हें केवळ बाह्यस्वरूपाच्या विशिष्टतेची दर्शक असतात. याशिवाय अंतःस्वरूपाची निदर्शक अशी निराळी चिन्हें प्रत्येक जीवात्म्यास असतात. ही चिन्हें त्याच्या पूर्वकर्मानुसार उत्पन्न झालेली असतात. आणि पूर्वी जी इच्छा केली ती फलद्रूप करण्यास योग्य अशा शरीराचा आत्मा स्वीकार करितो.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}अनंत कालाच्या संवयीने प्राण्याच्या शरीररचनेत बदल होतो, ही गोष्ट अर्वाचीन शास्त्रांसहि संमत आहे. आणि अनेकवेळां एक गोष्ट पुनःपुनः करण्यामुळे संवय लागते. यामुळे जन्मतःच कित्येक प्राण्यांस असलेल्या ज्या संवयी आढळून येतात त्या, त्याने पूर्वी अनेक जन्मी पुनःपुनः केलेल्या कर्मामुळे उत्पन्न झालेल्या असतात. या जन्मी त्याने त्या संवयी आपणांस नवीन लावून घेतल्याचा दाखला नसतो. ह्मणून त्या पूर्वजन्मांतरीच्या असल्या पाहिजेत असें मानणे भाग पडते.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}'आपण म्हणतां त्या सर्व गोष्टी गृहित धरल्या तर माझ्या अनेक जन्मांपैकी एकाचेंहि मला स्मरण नाही हे कसें' अशी कोणी शंका काढिली तर तिचें समाधान करणे फारसें कठिण नाही. मी यावेळी इंग्रजी भाषा बोलत आहे. ही माझी जन्मभाषा नव्हे. तरी माझ्या मनांत यावेळी माझ्या जन्मभाषेचा एकहि शब्द येत नाही. ह्मणजे चालूक्षणी माझी जन्मभाषा मी विसरलों असें झालें आहे. परंतु माझी जन्मभाषा मला आठवावी इतकी नुसती इच्छा मी केली की, शब्दामागे शब्द येऊन माझ्या चित्तांत एकच गर्दी करून सोडतात. यावरून आठवण अथवा स्मृति, ही माझ्या चैतन्यसमुद्राच्या पृष्ठभागावरील एक तरंग आहे. त्या समुद्राच्या पोटांत अनेक वस्तू सांठविलेल्या आहेत. तुह्मी भगिरथ प्रयत्नांनी आपली इच्छा तितकी शक्तिमती केली तर या समुद्राच्या पोटांत तळापर्यंत शिरून पूर्वीचे अनेक जन्म पाहणे ही मोठीशी अवघड गोष्ट नाही.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}कोणत्याहि गोष्टीचा अनुभव होणे हा तिच्या सिद्धीचा प्रत्यक्ष आणि सरळ मार्ग आहे. अमुक तत्वविचार खरा आहे हे प्रत्यक्ष अनुभवानेच निःसंशय पटते. आह्मीं काय ह्मणतो त्याचा प्रत्यक्ष अनुभव घेऊन पहा असे आमच्या ऋषिवर्गाने साऱ्या जगास मुक्तकंठाने आव्हान केले आहे. आपल्या चैतन्यसमुद्रात बुडी कशी मारावी आणि दम न कोंडतां तळापर्यंत प्रवेश करून तेथील कोश कसा हस्तगत करावा ही गुरुकिल्ली आह्मांपाशी आहे.{{nop}}&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{rule}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;{{gap}}आत्मा अच्छेद्य, अदाह्य, अक्लेद्य आणि अशोध्य आहे अशी आह्मां हिंदूंची कल्पना आहे. ह्मणजे तो तरवारीने तुटत नाहीं, विस्तवाने जळत नाही, पाण्याने भिजत नाही आणि वाऱ्याने कोरडा होत नाही. असें आह्मीं समजतो. प्रत्येक जीवात्मा ह्मणजे एक वर्तुळ. त्या वर्तुळाचा परिघ निश्चित नाही, परंतु त्या त्या वेळेपुरता त्याचा मध्यबिंदु मात्र शरीरांत असतो, व मृत्यु ह्मणजे हा बिंदु एका शरीरांतून दुसऱ्या शरीरांत जातो असें प्रत्येक हिंदुमनुष्य समजतो. तसेंच तो जडपदार्थाच्या संगाने बांधला जात नाही. तो अत्यंत शुद्ध, बुद्ध, मुक्त आणि पूर्ण असा आहे; परंतु काही कारणानें तो जडपदार्थाशी संयोग पावतो व भ्रमाने 'मी जडपदार्थ आहे' अशी भावना करितो.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}जर आत्मा नित्य, शुद्ध, बुद्ध, मुक्त आणि पूर्ण असा आहे तर तो जडपदार्थानी पक्का बांधला गेल्यासारखा कां दिसतो असा प्रश्न येथे ओघानेच उद्भवतो. पूर्ण ज्ञानरूप आत्म्यास 'मी अपूर्ण आहे' असा भ्रम तरी का होतो? या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर देण्यास हिंदु तत्त्ववेत्ता कचरतो असे कोणी ह्मणतात. कित्येकांनी हिंदु अद्वैत सिद्धांताच्या जागी द्वैतादि अनेक प्रकारच्या कल्पनांनी हे प्रश्न सोडविण्याची खटपट केली आहे; परंतु वरील प्रश्नाचे समर्पक उत्तर कोणीहि दिले नाही. या प्रश्नासंबंधानें हिंदुतत्त्ववेत्ता सरळ उत्तर देतो की अत्यंत पूर्णावस्थेतला आत्मा स्वतःस अपूर्ण व जड कां कल्पितो, याचे कारण मला सांगता येत नाही. त्याला उत्तर देतां आलें अथवा न आले तरी त्याच्याशी आपणास प्रस्तुत कांहीं करावयाचें नाही. आपण कोण या प्रश्नाचे उत्तर आपण ह्मणजे देह असें प्रत्येकजण प्रत्येक क्षणी देत असतो. हा आपला नेहमींचा अनुभवच आहे. 'परमेश्वराची तशी मर्जी' असेंहि उत्तर कोणी कोणी देतात. परंतु वस्तुतः 'मला ठाऊक नाही.' या उत्तरांत आणि 'ईश्वराची मर्जी' या उत्तरांत फारसा भेद नाही. असो.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}जीवात्मा नित्य आणि पूर्ण आहे व मृत्यु ह्मणजे त्याच्या निवासस्थानाचा बदल होण्याशिवाय अधिक काही नाही, असा हिंदुशास्त्राचा सिद्धांत आहे. पूर्वजन्मी केलेल्या कर्माचा परिपाक फलरूपाने आपण या जन्मी भोगित असतो; आणि वर्तमान अथवा चालू कर्माने पुढील जन्माची तयारी आपण करित असतो, असाहि आमचा सिद्धांत आहे. या रीतीने जीवात्मा स्वतःच्या कर्मानुरोधाने पूर्वीपेक्षा अधिक चांगल्या अथवा अधिक वाईट अवस्थेत जात असतो. आतां येथे आणखीहि&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{gap}}सृष्टीच्या कायद्याच्या तडाक्यांतून सुटण्यास मार्ग नाही असें वेद सांगत नाहींत. हे सर्व कायदे ज्याच्या अनुरोधाने चालतात आणि जे सर्व जड आणि चैतन्ययुक्त पदार्थांस व्यापून उरलें आहे, ज्याच्या हुकमाने वारा वाहतो, अग्नि दहन करितो, मेघ वर्षाव करितात आणि मृत्यु हरण करितो असें सर्वव्यापी आणि सर्वांहून निराळे असें एक महत्तत्व आहे. “तूंच आमचा पिता, तूंच आमची माता, तूंच आमचा सखा, तूंच सर्व शक्तीचे अधिष्ठान ह्मणून शक्तीसाठी तुझी आह्मी याचना करितो. या विश्वाचे ओझें तूं वाहतोस. आह्मांस जीविताचे ओझें वाहण्यास सामर्थ्य दे ” असें ऋषींनी या तत्वाचे वर्णन केले आहे. या स्वरूपावर&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{rule}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;एक प्रश्न उद्भवतो. प्रचंड वादळांत ज्याप्रमाणे एखादी नौका सांपडावी व एका क्षणी पर्वताइतक्या उंच लाटेच्या शिखरावर तर दुसऱ्या क्षणी अत्यंत खोल अशा डोहाच्या तळाशी लोटली जावी अशाच प्रकारच्या स्थितींत मनुष्याचा जीवात्मा सांपडला आहे काय? त्या नौकेला ज्याप्रमाणे जवळपास कोठेहि आधार ह्मणून दिसत नाही, त्याचप्रमाणे या प्रचंड संसारचक्रांतून सुटण्यास काहींच उपाय नाही काय? कारण आणि कार्य या द्वयीचा तडाखा असा प्रचंड आहे की, त्यांतून कोणीहि सुरक्षितपणे बाहेर पडतोसें दिसत नाही. कालचक्र इतक्या जोराने आणि निर्दयतेने फिरतांना दिसतें की, त्यांत निराश्रित विधवा, पोरकी पोरें आणि उन्मत्त सत्ताधीश एकसारख्या प्रमाणानेच चिरडले जातात. या प्रचंड संसारचक्राची नुसती कल्पनाहि भयजनक आहे. अशा वेळी सृष्टींतून अत्यंत करुणाजनक आवाज निघाला की यांतून सुटण्यास मार्ग नाही काय? या प्रश्नास वेदरूपी उत्तर आले की “बाळांनो, भिऊ नका. तुह्मीं सच्चिदानंदरूपच आहां. ज्या मूळ सनातन- प्राचीन- रूपांतून तुमचा उद्भव झाला आहे त्याचे ज्ञान तुह्मांस झाले ह्मणजे या जन्ममरणाच्या फेऱ्यांतून तुह्मीं मुक्त व्हाल. माझ्या अमेरिकन भगिनिबंधूंनो, 'सच्चिदानंदाची अपत्ये' हे नांवच किती मनोहर आहे! अहाहा! आपण पापी असें तुह्मी आजवर ऐकत होतां परंतु तुमचे हिंदुबांधव आज तुह्मास पुण्यात्मे ह्मणून हांका मारित आहेत. तुह्मी पापी असें तुमचे हिंदु बांधव तुह्मास कधी स्वप्नांतहि ह्मणणार नाहीत. तुह्मीं पूर्ण आहां, अत्यंत पवित्र आणि पूर्णानंदरूप आहां असें ते तुह्मांस सांगत आहेत. तुह्मांला पापी कोण ह्मणेल? तुह्मी पापी असे शब्द उच्चारणे हेच महापाप आहे. सिंहाच्या बच्चांनो, उठा, जागे व्हा. आपण मेंढ्या आहोत असें तुह्मीं स्वप्नांत बरळत आहां. तुह्मीं जड शरीर नव्हत. शरीर हे तुमच्या नोकरासारखे आहे. तुह्मी नित्य, शुद्ध, बुद्ध आणि मुक्त आहां.&lt;br&gt;

{{gap}}सृष्टीच्या कायद्याच्या तडाक्यांतून सुटण्यास मार्ग नाही असें वेद सांगत नाहींत. हे सर्व कायदे ज्याच्या अनुरोधाने चालतात आणि जे सर्व जड आणि चैतन्ययुक्त पदार्थांस व्यापून उरलें आहे, ज्याच्या हुकमाने वारा वाहतो, अग्नि दहन करितो, मेघ वर्षाव करितात आणि मृत्यु हरण करितो असें सर्वव्यापी आणि सर्वांहून निराळे असें एक महत्तत्व आहे. “तूंच आमचा पिता, तूंच आमची माता, तूंच आमचा सखा, तूंच सर्व शक्तीचे अधिष्ठान ह्मणून शक्तीसाठी तुझी आह्मी याचना करितो. या विश्वाचे ओझें तूं वाहतोस. आह्मांस जीविताचे ओझें वाहण्यास सामर्थ्य दे ” असें ऋषींनी या तत्वाचे वर्णन केले आहे. या स्वरूपावर&lt;noinclude&gt;&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{gap}}साक्रेटिसाला अथेनियन नागरिकांना मिळणारे शारीरिक व मानसिक शिक्षण मिळालेलें होतें. तो आपल्या बापाचा धंदाही शिकलेला होता व त्याच्या हातच्या मूर्ति म्हणून कांहीं मूर्ति त्याच्या मरणानंतर बऱ्याच काळपर्यंत अथेन्स शहरी दाखवीत असत, असें कांहीं लेखकांनी लिहून ठेविलेले आहे. परंतु लवकरच सॉक्रेटिसाचें लक्ष्य तत्त्वज्ञान व आध्यात्मिक विद्या यांकडे लागले व विशेषतः मानवी आयुष्याची इतिकर्तव्यता काय हा प्रश्न त्याच्या डोक्यांत घोळू लागला व या गहन प्रश्नाचे उत्तर त्याच्या मनांत ठरल्यापासून तो लोकांना उपदेश करूं लागला. व हच त्याचें आयुष्याचे इतिकर्तव्य बनले व तें त्यानें सतत चाळीस वर्षे म्हणजे आमरणांत चालविले. तरुणपण सॉक्रेटिसाला ॲनॅझॅगोरास या तत्त्वज्ञान्याच्या लेखांनीं सृष्टिशास्त्राची गोडी लागली होती असे सांगतात. परंतु पुढे ते ज्ञान मिळणे शक्य नाहीं अशी त्याची खात्री झाली व या शास्त्रीय ज्ञानापेक्षां मानवी इतिकर्तव्यतेचे ज्ञान जास्त श्रेयस्कर होय, अशी त्याची मनोदेवता त्याला सांगूं लागली व तेव्हांपासून त्याचा उपदेशाचा व्यवसाय जास्त जोरानें सुरू झाला.&lt;br&gt;
{{gap}}सॉक्रेटिसाचा तीस चाळीस वर्षांचा आयुष्यक्रम एकदम रेखाटण्यासारखा आहे. कारण प्रसिद्ध जर्मन तत्त्ववेत्ता कँट याच्याप्रमाणेच सॉक्रेटिसाचा क्रम अगदी ठरलेला असे व त्यांत वर्षानुवर्ष सुद्धां फरक होत नसे. सॉक्रेटीस पहांटेस उठून स्नान वगैरे करून बाहेर पडे. व मोठमोठ्या चव्हाठ्यावर व तालीमखान्यांत जेथे जेथे माणसे व विशेषतः तरुण लोक असतील तेथे तेथे जाई व त्यांच्याशी संभाषण सुरू करी. त्याचे संभाषणाचे विषय विविध असत. बोलणाराचा जो धंदा असेल किंवा त्याला जो विषय येत असेल किंवा आपल्याला जो विषय येतो अशी याला घमेंड असेल याच विषयावर बोलणे काढून लोकांचे अज्ञान सॉक्रेटीस त्यांना दाखवून देई&lt;noinclude&gt;{{center|५}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>

{{gap}}&quot;सॉक्रेटिसचा विलक्षण सोशिकपणा प्रत्यक्ष पाहण्याची संधि मला येथे मिळाली. त्याचा सोशिकपणा अगदीं अद्वितीय होता. ह्या स्वारीत असतांना कांहीं दिवस शिधासामुग्री मिळण्याचा मार्ग शत्रूंनी बंद केला व शिपायांना उपास काढण्याची वेळ आली. परंतु या बाबतींत सर्व शिपायांत सॉक्रेटिसाचा नंबर वर लागला. तसेच थंडी सोसण्यांतहि त्याची कमाल होती. त्या वर्षांचा हिंवाळा फार कडक होता व बर्फ खुपच पडलें होतें. अशा वेळी सर्व शिपाई तंबुच्या बाहेर पडत नसत अथवा पडलेच तर अंगावर कल्पनातीत कपडे घालून पायाला पिसें व फलाणी बांधून बाहेर पडत. परंतु अशा थंडीत सॉक्रेटीस नेहमींसारखा अनवाणी&lt;noinclude&gt;{{center|७}}&lt;/noinclude&gt;</text>
