== Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections ==

:''Copied from {{Section link|Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)|Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections}} because this page is listed on [[Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe]].''
<section begin="announcement-content" />
Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election]]. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

# [[User:Kritzolina|Christel Steigenberger]]
# [[User:Nadzik|Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz]]
# [[User:Victoria|Victoria Doronina]]
# [[User:Laurentius|Lorenzo Losa]]

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2024/Results|Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.]]

Best regards,

The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

Each year, typically from October through December, several of the movement’s committees seek new volunteers.


Read more about the committees on their Meta-wiki pages:
Much before you welcome me, know the guidelines. You are clearly abusing that tag.
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Affiliations_Committee|Affiliations Committee (AffCom)]]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Ombuds_commission|Ombuds commission (OC)]]
* [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Legal/Community Resilience and Sustainability/Trust and Safety/Case Review Committee|Case Review Committee (CRC)]]


Applications for the committees open on 16 October 2024. Applications for the Affiliations Committee close on 18 November 2024, and applications for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee close on 2 December 2024. Learn how to apply by [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation/Legal/Committee_appointments|visiting the appointment page on Meta-wiki]]. Post to the talk page or email [mailto:cst@wikimedia.org cst@wikimedia.org] with any questions you may have.
Such tag is not required if article is hardly 500 bytes or less(apart from the reference itself). [[User:OccultZone|'''<span style="color:DarkBlue;">Occult</span><span style="color:blue;">Zone</span>''']] ([[User talk:OccultZone#top|<small>Talk</small>]]) 04:05, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
:Please link a relevant policy when stating that the tag "is not required if article is hardly 500 bytes or less". Furthermore, even if the tag was not required, any person may still, at their discretion, tag any article with one source with [[Template:One source]]. As for welcoming you, I apologize for that. I wasn't aware that you were an established user as I saw the red user page link and assumed you were a brand new editor, at which point I went back to editing. Please remember to [[WP:AGF]]. --[[User:Lixxx235|Lixxx235]] ([[User talk:Lixxx235#top|talk]]) 04:18, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

For the Committee Support team,
::First of all, that was not really a opinion but basic sensibilities that we use during the page patrolling or page review. If multiple sources have been added, you will probably tag it with "additional sources", in short words, it will never end. Other than that, these are [[WP:BLP]] articles, one source is required for each of them. Per [[Template:One_source#Editorial_usage]], you have to address about the source first, if it is either unreliable or not supporting the given information as much as it should. If your issues are correct, then we can accept such tag, even now the article is very small. We do have articles such as [[List of countries by external debt]], [[List of countries by HIV/AIDS adult prevalence rate]], they largely depend upon the single source. But since they speak enough about the given information or subject, there will be no need to tag them. [[User:OccultZone|'''<span style="color:DarkBlue;">Occult</span><span style="color:blue;">Zone</span>''']] ([[User talk:OccultZone#top|<small>Talk</small>]]) 04:26, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
<section end="announcement-content" />


-- [[m:User:Keegan (WMF)|Keegan (WMF)]] ([[m:User talk:Keegan (WMF)|talk]]) 23:07, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
:::Ok then, I agree with your conclusion that one source should not be used unless non-reliable is used also. However: 1. That is not a guideline, as you implied by "know the guidelines" 2. 500 bytes has no meaning; it's not a small/big article distinction, it's whether the article's existing source(s) are reliable and conform to [[WP:V]] or not, and based on that, I am inclined to nom it for deletion, as there really is no point to it; reliable sources isn't valid if there's one reliable source, and one source is invalid unless the first source is non-reliable 3. Using standard rollback [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ale%C5%A1_Jeseni%C4%8Dnik&curid=42787504&diff=609046855&oldid=609046709|here] was a gross misuse of the permission, as rollback is not to be used except obvious vandalism, and vandalism must be intentional disruption 4. Your entire first two posts are seriously against [[WP:BITE]] and [[WP:AGF]] 5. Your mention of [[WP:BLP]] was flawed, as all articles must be supported by outside sources, but BLPs can be PRODed for not having a source. Notwithstanding all that, friends? --[[User:Lixxx235|Lixxx235]] ([[User talk:Lixxx235#top|talk]]) 04:51, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

:::::I agree the 3rd point, but I had hit it by mistake, I don't really use rollback as I provide reason every time. Yes you can nominate them for deletion, but I don't know what you meant by "and one source is invalid unless the first source is non-reliable", BLPs can be proded for not having sources, correct. Sources like imdb, allmusic, etc should not be used as references, though they are pretty reliable. Last point would be, that WP:Bite doesn't apply here :) I hadn't warned you, my sole concern was to notify you about the OneSource tag.

* Tools like [[WP:HUGGLE|Huggle]] and [[WP:STIKI]] are always useful. Though you have to be careful about them, as they may cause a bit of people angry at you because you accidentally clicked the wrong version. They are automatic for the most part. (Especially Huggle) Both require rollback, but [[WP:STIKI|Stiki]] can be requested permission, and you can use it without it.
* The abuselog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog <- This is what I did for a bit, the only edits I believe you can revert are the ones with a 'diff' link. Though do take note there are false positives and to be cautious in reverting.
* Happy reverting! (And sorry for stealing your reverts! :3) [[User:Tutelary|Tutelary]] ([[User talk:Tutelary|talk]]) 14:50, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah, Huggle is the reason I'm trying to get more article space edits- so I can get 200 and have a reasonable chance getting rollback. Thanks for the tips! --[[User:Lixxx235|Lixxx235]] ([[User talk:Lixxx235#top|talk]]) 14:52, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

[edit]
Copied from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous) § Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections because this page is listed on Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Subscribe.

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

  1. Christel Steigenberger
  2. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz
  3. Victoria Doronina
  4. Lorenzo Losa

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group
