Wikipedia Weekly is the podcast that provides an informative dose of audio information regarding Wikipedia, the Wikimedia Foundation and our fellow projects for the community of wikimedians. Its off-wiki homepage is www.wikipediaweekly.org (this is done due to RSS limitations in MediaWiki).

"It's an irony, because we're all so unbelievably verbal and we write so much that we can't communicate with each other... So it becomes a challenge to find a way that we can streamline communication.

In fact I'm very excited about this podcast as one of those tools. If this podcast is entertaining and lots of people in the entire community, internationally and in many different projects listen to this, it gives us a central place to communicate news in an entertaining way. I think that's kind of cool.""

- Jimmy Wales

 * Moni3 - I tripped over this page somehow. If you're interested in input from an editor who expanded a topic at the same time it made international news, that was quite an interesting experience. Or an editor who holistically pursues topics based on passion, let me know.

Spread WikipediaWeekly
This is our get listener campaign. The best podcast in the world is useless unless people download and listen to it. The role of this subproject is to get listeners by promoting the hell out of it.

We're listed on iTunes and I've submitted to directories but we need publicity... badly.

Edit warring and Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 discretionary sanctions
Since you are a newcomer to Wikipedia, I would like to inform you of our policy on edit warring. Please be aware that edit warring is not conducive to harmonious editing on Wikipedia, and continued violations of this policy (extended edit wars, violations of 3RR policy, etc.) can lead to blocks. At the same time, I would like to inform you that continued edit warring and other violations of policy may potentially result in discretionary sanctions, as determined by Armenia-Azerbaijan 2 arbitration case. As described here, "Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process. The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project." I'm not placing you on discretionary sanctions at the moment, but given your topics of interest, I just wanted to inform you of the possibility that an administrator may place sanctions against you if do not adhere to Wikipedia policy. If you have any questions, please contact me on my talk page. Best, Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 22:38, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This warning was prompted by your participation in recent edit wars on a group of articles such as Erich Feigl, Arash (entertainer), Azerbaijan in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, which seem to be predicated on ethnic grounds (e.g. denial of Armenian Genocide, Azeri lineage, etc.). I came here with the intention of informing you that continual edit warring and other violations of policy (e.g. WP:NPOV and WP:CIVIL) may result in blocks and/or discretionary sanctions, as outlined by the Armenia-Azerbaijan arbitration case. The policy of edit warring applies to all articles on Wikipedia, while the discretionary sanctions, if placed, will apply to articles in the Armenia-Azerbaijan area of conflict. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 17:04, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I cited NPOV and CIVIL as an example of other policies, which as a new editor, I would not expect you to be familiar with. I never said you violated them. Your edits to Feigl, Arash, etc. are not simple reversions of vandalism (i.e. it does not meet the definition of blanking listed at WP:VAND) – they're enmeshed in some sort of POV conflict with other editors. If you had been reverting vandalism, I would have commended you for that, not issued a warning. Bottom line: if you play your cards right and follow the letter of the law, then you won't have any problems with me or any other administrator.
