Call for volunteers: 2022 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election

<languages/> The Movement Strategy and Governance team is looking for community members to serve as election volunteers in the upcoming Board of Trustees election.

The idea of the Election Volunteer Program came up during the 2021 Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election. This program turned out to be successful. With the help of Election Volunteers we were able to increase outreach and participation in the election by 1,753 voters over 2017. Overall turnout was 10.13%, 1.1 percentage points more, and 214 wikis were represented in the election.

But a total of 74 wikis that did not participate in 2017 produced voters in the 2021 election. Can you help change the participation?

Election volunteers will help in the following areas:

• Translate short messages and announce the ongoing election process in community channels
• Optional: Monitor community channels for community comments and questions

Volunteers should:

• Maintain the friendly space policy during conversations and events
• Present the guidelines and voting information to the community in a neutral manner

Do you want to be an election volunteer and ensure your community is represented in the vote? Sign up here to receive updates. You can use the talk page for questions about translation.

Planet names

Hello. I noticed that Wikt-shn and WP-shn have poor coverage of the planets. I would like to add planetary symbols, as I have here: ♀. Could anyone help me with additional names? (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, maybe also other dwarf planets and large asteroids, if Shan has names or accepted borrowings for them.) Please ping me. Thanks, Kwamikagami (talk) 03:47, 7 မေႇ 2022 (+0630)

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines

Hello all,

I’d like to share an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC):

• (see full announcement) In May 2022, the UCoC project team completed a report on the 2022 March ratification vote about the Guidelines. Voters cast votes from at least 137 communities, and at least 650 voters added comments with their vote. The report is available on Meta-Wiki.
• Following the vote, the Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees asked that several areas of the Guidelines be reviewed for improvements. A Revisions Committee will refine it based on community feedback.
• (see full announcement) In order to help the Revisions Committee, input from the community is requested. You can visit the discussions below:
  • Discussions related to revisions of the Enforcement Guidelines
  • Discussions related to revision of the UCoC policy text

Please let me know if you have any questions about these next steps.

On behalf of the UCoC Project team,
RamzyM (WMF) 19:16, 30 မေႇ 2022 (+0630)
