Please sign new Wikimedia confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information by 15 December

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.

An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.

The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.

Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator. The general confidentiality agreement is now ready, and the OTRS agreement will be ready after 22 September 2015. We have prepared a guide on Meta-Wiki to help you create your Phabricator account and sign the new agreement: Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information/How to sign

If you have any questions or experience any problems while signing the new agreement, please visit this talk page or email me (gvarnumwikimedia.org). Again, please sign this confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain your access to nonpublic information. If you do not wish to retain this access, please let me know and we will forward your request to the appropriate individuals.

Thank you,
Gregory Varnum (User:GVarnum-WMF), Wikimedia Foundation

Range Calc

Your range calc tool is down. Is there any way I could get the source to mirror it? --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 01:04, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Set up a crontab which should eliminate the recent unreliability. My VPS has been having issues recently so it's possible it will be down for short periods of time. NativeForeigner ^Talk 05:15, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Your support vote for Thine Antique Pen

I assumed you wanted to be counted as a supporter, so I changed the indentation of your comment. If you intended something else, please revert my edit and clarify your stance otherwise. Thank you, —Kusma (t·c) 11:36, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

@Kusma: thanks, defaulted to voting on arbcom case pages where the :# is the norm... NativeForeigner ^Talk 11:37, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

You're crazy

[1] Bishonen | talk 20:17, 14 October 2015 (UTC).

I refute that assertion. Any questions about the block may be directed to the arbcom mailing list. NativeForeigner ^Talk 20:20, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Although both Bishonen and Tryptofish have called for my block in the past (erroneously, IMO), I think in this instance, Bishonen has a point. Whatever line Tryptofish may have crossed was likely accidental and should be treated as such. Yes, ignorantia iuris nocet is in play, but I would like to say that Tryptofish, whatever the immediate problem may be, is a net positive for Wikipedia and should be unblocked as soon as possible. It looks like he accidentally outed someone, and this mistake should be treated with due weight in the context of a heated and overzealous atmosphere of an arbcom case. Thanks.

I didn't see the edits that provoked this, but it's hard to believe it was the correct response. Looie496 (talk) 21:09, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

• Ditto Looie496. If there is any doubt about whatever Tryptofish did having been inadvertent and intended in good faith, it should be resolved in his favor. This is based on several years' interactions with him. EEng (talk) 21:31, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
