News and notes: Wikimedia conferences—soul-searching about costs, attendance, and future

The run-up to the conference has seen the unfolding of two fractious threads on the Wikimedia public mailing list, both of which may serve as background for the last session at Berlin: "Future of the Wikimedia Conference".

WikiProject report: Deutschland in English

This week, we visited with WikiProject Germany.

Special report: On the cusp of the Wikimedia Conference

The annual Wikimedia Conference is about to start in Berlin, hosted by Wikimedia Germany, which won the bid to hold the event over three others. This will be the fifth time the chapter has hosted the Wikimedia Conference—it did so from 2009 to 2012, with attendance ranging from 100 to 180 Wikimedians. This year 160 people are expected at the four-day event, which is mainly for representatives of affiliated Wikimedia organisations. The conference has been built around two themes: Organisation, structures, and grants and Success and impact.

Featured content: April Fools

The Signpost's "Featured content" writers had a bit of fun this week.

Traffic report: Regressing to the mean

The mysterious fate of MH370 still tops the list, but in all other respects our readership has retreated from the real world into its pop-cultural happy place: TV, movies, music, Reddit and Google Doodles all made an appearance.

News and notes: Round 2 of FDC funding open to public comments

Community review is open for the four applications in the second and final round of applications to the WMF's Funds Dissemination Committee for 2013–14. Three eligible organisations have applied for funding under the newly named "annual program grants": Wikimedia France, Wikimedia Norway, and the India-based Centre for Internet and Society, which last November was recognised as eligible to apply for FDC funding purposes.

WikiProject report: WikiProject Law

This week, we interviewed the Law WikiProject.

Special report: Community mourns passing of Adrianne Wadewitz

"I remember laughing and talking and laughing and talking at Wikimania 2012. I took this picture of her that she used for a long while as a profile pic. Someone on Facebook said it looked 'skepchickal', which she loved."

Traffic report: Conquest of the Couch Potatoes

Television has always been a topic of choice on this site, but it exploded this week. Fully six slots were devoted to television shows, as the final episode of How I Met Your Mother, one of the most popular Wikipedia searches of the last few years, coincided with the season finale of The Walking Dead and the upcoming fourth season of Game of Thrones. The number rises to 8 if movies released on video and new TV tech are are included.

Featured content: Snow heater and Ash sweep

Five article, five lists, and ten pictures were promoted to 'featured' status on the English Wikipedia last week.

Okafor

I don't really think Parker's article looks better, but apparently a lot of other people do. So we are likely to differ on Okafor's as well.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:44, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014

Today's motto...

→ Every man is the architect of his own fortune.

Nominate one today!

Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.

Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).

Don't Fear the Reaper

I am just wondering, what counts as important if not future cultural impact of a song? If a valid reason is given, I promise I will leave the edit out in future. Grez868 (talk) 02:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)grez868

Don't Fear the Reaper

I am just wondering, what counts as important if not future cultural impact of a song? If a valid reason is given, I promise I will leave the edit out in future. I continue to re-add the information because while some may see it as unimportant, others may. Encyclopedias aren't meant to be of only a minority view - it is supposed to be factual - and this is a fact. Grez868 (talk) 02:34, 30 April 2014 (UTC)grez868
