The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. As a matter of fact, there had only been one member who served on the Board, from South Asia, in more than fifteen years of history.

In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. This call for feedback is to see what processes can we all collaboratively design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees? In this regard, it would be good to have a community discussion to discuss the proposed ideas and share our thoughts, give feedback and contribute to the process. Following my email discussion with Fredericknoronha, I will be hosting a meeting at 7 pm (IST) on later today i.e 13 February 2021. It would be awesome to have your participation. The meeting link to join is https://meet.google.com/uff-qtdf-ftv. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, thanks for joining this meeting. The report of meeting is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Reports/2021-02-13_Wikipedians_of_Goa, and it will be passed on the Board. Please share the link with other participants in your community through relevant channels.

@The Discoverer I found something that needs to be urgently fixed.

Many of the pages related to Christianity have external links from a website called "archgoadaman.org". This link appears like it directs to sections from bible, but clicking the link opens a porn website. For example see the links in ಪಳೆಇಯಾತ್ section of ಹಾಗ್ಗಾಯ್ ಆಚೆಂ ಪುಸ್ತಕ್.

It seems like that website was fine before but has been compromised. Whatever the problems with that website, it's links should not be there on Wikipedia.

Is there a bot that can remove these links in bulk, or should this be done manually by going through categories? I would also welcome @Dcljr's help.

I do not how use a bot to remove the link but I can help to remove manually.

I will start removing manually as well since I too don't know how to use a bot. Anyways leftover links can be removed by bot later. I have found that links to this website are present not only as external links but in references too.

Anyone who wants to help can find most of the pages needing cleanup in these categories (I have updated this after few hours of posting and removed categories I have already cleaned) -

वर्ग:देवाचें उतर

वर्ग:Devachem Utor

In the वर्ग:देवाचें उतर category, I have cleaned in ascending order till तोबिताचें पुस्तक.

AVSmalnad77 (उलयात) 17:04, 15 नोव्हेंबर 2020 (IST)

I think we've already removed them all.

@AVSmalnad77, thanks for highlighting this. That was the old URL of the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman, which has since moved to archgoadaman.com . The Konkani Bible was hosted on that site, so it was used as a reference for quotations from the Bible. I will try to see how to remove the link from all the pages.

Note that any remaining instances can be found with Special:LinkSearch/*.archgoadaman.org. As I type this, there are 178 links to the site left on the wiki.

Thanks Dcljr for that link. I have cleared the 178 links.

Hi, is the language used in the above article correct? Regards.

Hello Dario Severi, Yes, this is a multi-script Wikipedia with Konkani written in three scripts: Devanagari, Latin and Kannada.

Oh! Thanks. Best regards.

Namaste dear The Discoverer! Can you make an article in Konkani-language about actor who played in one Konkani movie Jackie Shroff? Thank you! --~~~~

Hello, the temporary access you requested on this wiki has expired. Just to let you know that If you want it back, feel free to make a local announcement and open a new request on stewards' permission request page on Meta-Wiki later. Moreover, if you think the community is big enough to elect a permanent administrator, you can place a local request here for a permanent adminship, so stewards can grant you the permanent access. Please ask me or any other steward if you have any questions. Thank you! --~~~~

When moving pages like these, please consider the possibility that outisde sites (or user bookmarks, etc.) might still link to the old titles. Leaving redirects is probably a better way to go.

These were cases where the page creators used a devanagari diacritic "ः" by mistake instead of a colon ":" at the end of the titles. I consider the chance of a link from an outside site minimal, and I want to discourage this type of error as it is difficult to identify this error to correct it. This is not simply a mis-spelling, but an attempt to include a punctuation mark in the page title. Hence, only in this kind of case, I am not leaving redirects behind.

Fair enough.
