Queering Wikipedia 2023 conference
editWikimedia LGBT+ User Group and the organizing team of Queering Wikipedia is delivering the Queering Wikipedia 2023 Conference for LGBT+ Wikimedians and allies, as a hybrid, bilingual and trans-local event. It is online on 12, 14 and 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, with offline events at around 10 locations on 5 continents in the 5-day span as QW2023 Nodes.
The online program is delivered as a series of keynotes, panels, presentations, workshops, lightning talks and creative interventions, starting on Friday noon (UTC) with the first keynote of Dr Nishant Shah entitled: I spy, with my little AI — Wikiway as a means to disrupt the ‘dirty queer’ impulses of emergent AI platforms. Second keynote is at Sunday’s closure by Esra’a Al Shafei, Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees vice chair, entitled: Digital Public Spaces for Queer Communities.
If you have been an active Wikimedian or enthusiast, supporting LGBT+ activities or if you identify as part of the larger LGBT+ community and allies in Wikimedia, please join us in advancing this thematic work. We encourage you to join online or in person with fellow Wikimedians if it is easy and safe to do so. Our working languages are English and Spanish, with possible local language support at sites of Nodes.
Registration for the online event is free and is open until Wednesday May 10th at 18:00 UTC, for safety protocol. Late event registration approval and event access denial is at the discretion of organizers.
More information, and registration details, may be found on Meta at QW2023

Art+Feminism: Feb 15 online edit-a-thon campaign launch and upcoming conversations
editWe have some exciting events coming up that we’d love to share with you!
At Art+Feminism, we believe that as feminist editors, our strength is in collective action. When we edit together, we share resources, knowledge, and skills; in doing so, we form a defense against harassment within the Wikiverse and beyond. Alongside our initiatives to close diversity gaps and create a safer Wikipedia, Art+Feminism remains committed to doing our part. This year that includes creating more virtual spaces for us to connect with one another, share knowledge, and edit together.
To start, join Art+Feminism and Wiki Editoras Lx on 15 February to discuss and practice strategies for collective editing. This event kicks off our series of virtual editing tables for our Year 11 campaign. You can see our full schedule here and register today.
We’ll also be hosting two special conversations: Online & On the Ground: Abortion Activism in Maryland and Collective Imagination + Radical Futures: Kansas City Organizers on Making Art & Building Power. These online events are open to all and we hope to see you there!
If you’d like to join the campaign by hosting your own A+F event but haven’t yet, it’s not too late! You can view our campaign resources here and send us an email to let us know you’re joining.

Grupo de trabalho Bora Conectar (Let's Connect)
editPrezado/a MichaelaBlanc,
Esperamos que esteja tudo bem com você. Somos o grupo de trabalho do Bora Conectar (Let's Connect) - uma equipe de colaboradores/organizadores do movimento que são representantes de 7-8 regiões. Estamos entrando em contato com você para saber se teria interesse em conhecer e/ou se conhece o programa de troca entre pares Bora Conectar (Let's Connect)!
O programa cria um espaço de aprendizado aberto e seguro para que qualquer Wikimedista que faça parte de um grupo organizado possa compartilhar e/ou aprender diferentes habilidades (organizacionais/interpessoais/relacionadas a subsídios/aprendizado e avaliação...) com outros colegas para agregar valor e contribuir coletivamente para a comunidade. O objetivo é desenvolver ainda mais as habilidades, compartilhar conhecimentos e promover conexões humanas e apoio mútuo entre diferentes grupos e comunidades, em linha com a Estratégia de Movimento.
Todos os meses, organizamos de 2 a 3 sessões de aprendizagem ao vivo de 2 horas com tópicos de interesse selecionados pela nossa equipe e pelos participantes interessados. Nossas sessões de aprendizado ao vivo contam com até quatro intérpretes que traduzem a sessão para os participantes. Nossos principais idiomas são espanhol, árabe, francês e português. Se houver um idioma específico que você gostaria de ver nas reuniões, por favor nos informe e ficaremos felizes em ver como podemos acomodá-lo.
O Bora Conectar (Let's Connect) é direcionado a Wikimedistas de todas as regiões que fazem parte de grupos organizados (isso pode variar de um grupo de indivíduos que são grupos de usuários não formalmente organizados, a capítulos e organizações alinhadas à missão do movimento Wikimedia). Para ver mais critérios, consulte nossa página Meta. Para participar no papel de "compartilhador", você pode se inscrever através deste formulário de inscrição, onde poderá registrar seus interesses de aprendizagem e de compartilhamento e declarar se deseja compartilhar seu conhecimento por meio das Sessões de Aprendizagem.
Abaixo, você pode ver nossa equipe de 8 pessoas que estão ansiosas para se reunir com você, caso esteja interessado/a. Se tiver alguma dúvida, por favor nos envie um e-mail para letsconnect@wikimedia.org :)
Aguardamos seu contato.
Atenciosamente,
Grupo de trabalho Bora Conectar (Let's Connect) Cassie Casares (talk) 21:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @CCasares (WMF): Hello! Thanks so much for your message, and it is my pleasure to connect with you. I look forward to learning more about this program. Cheers! MichaelaBlanc (talk) 13:59, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hola MichaelaBlanc (talk)! I am curious if you had a chance to review our Meta page and/or if you would like to have an informal meeting (virtually) to learn more about the program. You are also welcome to just ask anything from me here :) Salud Cassie Casares (talk) 14:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Sua contribuição é crucial: Responda à consulta sobre a Carta do Movimento Wikimedia
editGostaria de pedir alguns minutos do seu tempo para contribuir com algo de extrema importância para a comunidade Wikimedia.
Estamos no processo de redação da Carta do Movimento, um documento fundamental que delineará os papéis e responsabilidades de todas as pessoas e entidades envolvidas no Movimento Wikimedia, incluindo a definição de um novo Conselho Global de governança. Este documento é uma prioridade da Estratégia do Movimento e reflete o compromisso da comunidade com a transparência, a inclusão e a colaboração.
Até o dia 30 de Abril, estamos realizando uma consulta à comunidade para receber contribuições, melhorias e correções em relação a essa versão da Carta do Movimento. Sua opinião é valiosa e fundamental para garantir que representemos adequadamente a visão da comunidade lusófona dentro do movimento. Para participar, pedimos que leia o texto completo da Carta do Movimento. Embora seja uma leitura um pouco extensa, ela é dinâmica e subdividida em vários tópicos para facilitar o acesso e a compreensão.
Após a leitura, por favor, reserve aproximadamente 15 minutos do seu tempo para responder ao formulário de consulta disponível aqui. A quem tiver interesse, também é possível fazer contribuições diretamente nas páginas de discussão dos conteúdos da Carta.
Sua participação é essencial para moldar o futuro do Movimento Wikimedia. Agradeço desde já pelo seu tempo e contribuição.
Atenciosamente, Alebasi24 (talk) 23:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
