Invitation to join Women in Red

 * High there, Oscar espacio y punto! Thanks very much for joining us on WiR. It's great to have such an experienced Wikipedian who is able to cover the biographies of Venezuelan women so expertly. I've looked at a few of the many articles you have written in Spanish and am truly impressed. If ever you need any help of run into any problems, let me know or leave a message on the WiR talk page. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 14:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Women in Red June Editathons

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,

I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.

Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 20:24, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Get ready for November with Women in Red!

Wikipedia blocking update?
There was a brief discussion on User talk:Jimbo Wales about the blocking of Wikipedia in Venezuela a week ago (archived here), after which I saw the message at, but that hasn't been updated since the 15th, when it said the block was 72 hours and not known to be official. I haven't found anything in English on newslookup.com or at netblocks.com (after the initial report that inspired the Haaretz coverage) that tells me anything. If you get a chance, could you let people know at User talk:Jimbo Wales whether there has been any change? Wnt (talk) 11:59, 19 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Wnt, the block was lifted on Friday, it began in total silence, likewise has ended. But today it was reported the blocking of Twitter and Instagram in the city of Caracas, so the possibility that we will be blocked again is latent, adding to this the implementation of a draconian law by the National Constituent Assembly. We are looking at the possibility of using a banner for readers in Venezuela (in Wikipedia), in order to alert them to the increase in digital censorship that we have been victims of, cheers --Oscar_.

 * If you have the chance, you should post this update and new information to, and also to Jimbo's talk page. If you don't object I could post an update (crediting you) about this conversation to Jimbo's page myself, but it would seem better for the people there to hear it from the real source. Wnt (talk) 01:40, 22 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Wnt, we're are working in another statement, it's not my decision to change the previous one without local consensus, and since the block of other sites continues, we're alert if they censor Wikipedia again. Regarding talking in the Jimbo user talk, you're free to post my message there but the WMF are already in contact and monitoring the situation with us, cheers --Oscar_.
