Request for Arbitration notification
You are involved in a recently filed request for arbitration. Please review the request at Arbitration/Requests/Case and, if you wish to do so, enter your statement and any other material you wish to submit to the Arbitration Committee. As threaded discussion is not permitted on most arbitration pages, please ensure that you make all comments in your own section only. Additionally, the guide to arbitration and the Arbitration Committee's procedures may be of use.

Thanks, TomStar81 (Talk) 01:34, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

== WikiMedia Foundation involvement in software deployment on the English Wikipedia: Arbitration request declined ==

Hello ,

The case request about WikiMedia Foundation involvement in software deployment on the English Wikipedia has been declined by a majority of Wikipedia's arbitrators.

The request had been explicitly created as an "Ignore All Rules" request, but the Arbitration Committee disagrees about a need for ignoring its policies, which exclude "official actions of the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff" from its jurisdiction and define it as "as a final binding decision-maker primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve" in the "Scope and responsibilities" section. Its procedures describe an "expectation of prior dispute resolution" that hasn't been fulfilled yet.

Update on the user survey
On the 14th of February, OVasileva said the WMF were looking into publishing the results of user survey in response to our request and would update us when you know more. Do you have an update for us? BilledMammal (talk) 15:47, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Portland meetup photos
Thanks again for helping make this happen! I've put some of my photos from the event at Commons:Category:June_2023_meetup_in_Portland,_Oregon and linked that from the event page. I have five more, but I was not sure who the people were: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jmabel/albums/72177720309298157. (On a couple, I have a strong guess, but I don't want to post more publicly without firm ID.) Are there any of these you might be able to identify definitively? Thanks in advance for any help. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 01:38, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Request for video chat
Thanks for presenting at WikiConference North America in Toronto in November 2023, and for sharing your speech from that event for publication in The Signpost, and for your earlier April 2023 message to Wikimedia-l about the insights of your listening tour, and the summary of your listening tour that you published on Meta.

I am writing to request a 1:1 video chat with you; I always suggest recording and publishing chats but if you prefer it could be private. The main topic which I want to raise is hearing your thoughts on what can be done to improve the relationship between the WMF and the Wikimedia community, following your observation that "My experience so far has been that we have a very contentious relationship with English Wikipedia."

Thanks for being a public voice and making yourself available for communication. I am available at lanerasberry@gmail.com and on the wiki.  Bluerasberry  (talk)  15:29, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
