edit
Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § U4C Special Election - Call for Candidates because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to other languages.

Hello all,

A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call for candidates phase is open from now through July 19, 2024.

The 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 in the special election for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.

In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter, there are 9 seats available on the U4C: four community-at-large seats and five regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.

Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.

In cooperation with the U4C,

Question from DragonatorPotater (08:22, 11 July 2024)

edit

Greetings! I am curious about how to make a new Wikipedia page! But I would like to ask if I could and would be sensical to make a page about a few reddit pages. I found a particularly new one and was wondering if I could make a page about it! Thanks! --DragonatorPotater (talk) 08:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

DragonatorPotater, thanks for interest! Unfortunately, it's unlikely to be notable under Wikipedia's General notability guideline. If you give me more specific details I can try to give you more help. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:56, 11 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Archive parameters on the Talk page template

edit

Hello! I noticed that parameters such as |archive_bot= have been removed from numerous Talk page templates that I watch. Will this change affect the automatic archives in any way? I want things to be practical for me. GustavoCza (talkcontribs) 01:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

GustavoCza, it shouldn't cause any changes; the template no longer accepts manual parameters, so it was ignoring them before my bot removed them. — Qwerfjkltalk 06:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

WP:PIQA for implemented articles

edit

Hello. Thank you for previously providing Sugiura-gun, Queen's Quest, Cosmic Angels and Oedo Tai pages with quality assessments at the beginnings of their existence in the main space. I would like to ask you if it's possible that the articles would get a C-Rank assessment since the pages have been considerably expanded over time and the "Start" quality parameter is no longer fits. The main reason for Sugiura-gun is that the stable has disbanded and there is will be no more specifications or improvements that the page could get. Best regards! JeyReydar97 (talk) 08:29, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

JeyReydar97, feel free to reassess the article qualities as you see fit. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Fico Puricelli (10:31, 13 July 2024)

edit

Greetings! How are you? Today I found out something is wrong with the reference function. What is happening? Thanks. --Fico Puricelli (talk) 10:31, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Fico Puricelli, please can you clarify what you are referring to. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I tried to add a new reference, but something happened and this appeared: We have not been able to generate the appointment for you. You can create it manually using the "Manual" tab at the top. Is there something wrong with the Wikipedia system? Fico Puricelli (talk) 20:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Fico Puricelli, I assume you mean you pasted in a URL and it couldn't automatically convert that into a citation? — Qwerfjkltalk 08:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Exactly. Fico Puricelli (talk) 14:14, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Fico Puricelli, in that case you'll have to fill it out manually (with the title, author, etc.). It's unfortunately not possible to get the reference data for all URLs. — Qwerfjkltalk 14:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi my name is waseem raouf I am a poet I want to put my deatils on Wikipedia how can I upload my information please let me know --Waseemraouf (talk) 23:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Waseemraouf, do you have any independant sources for the information? You may also want to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Finally, does an article already exist about you? — Qwerfjkltalk 11:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting results

edit
Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting results because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to other languages.

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As 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 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, 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,

Abhinav619, Borschts, Iwuala Lucy, Tochiprecious, Der-Wir-Ing
