Wikimedia CEE Spring
[edit]Hello Texaner, I've seen that you removed yourself from the list of local organisers of CEE Spring. What was the reason for that? Is it lack of time on your side or lack of willingness from the community to participate? I hope we can make sure that Hungary participates! --Lord Bumbury (talk) 13:42, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
Re:Strategy Talk
[edit]Hi. Our discussions are divided to track A (affiliates, like WMHU) and track B (online communities, like hu.wikipedia). You may choose to coordinate track B only. WMHU board can act only within track A. SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 16:40, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't understand. I'm not the WMF, I'm just a Wikipedian hired for 3 months by WMF. If I wrote something that's unclear to you, please ask me, but don't blame entire WMF. I think by I don't want encroach in activity our new Wikimedia board, you may have meant I don't want to interfere with our chapter's board scope. Chapters' boards may coordinate track A discussions (discussions for their members' and bodies, like general assemblies), but you, as a user, are totally free to coordinate discussions on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource etc. The boards are not. At most their individual members as ordinary users. Is there still anything unclear? SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 21:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
