Decision
Decision:

Notes:

Census Tool

One application was received for the project and was deemed inappropriate. We did receive an email from Maia Williams who said she was interested but couldn’t meet the original timeline (starting in April instead). We approached Toby Hudson and David in WA to see if they were interested in taking on the position. Both are interested in helping on the project voluntarily. Recommendation: that we appoint Maia Williams (with project support team of Alex, Sam, Toby and David) at a cost of $3000 if she’s still available.

Decision
Decision: That WMAU should appoint Maia Williams for Census Tool project
Moved: Alex; seconded: Bunty; outcome: Approved
Notes:

ACTION: Award Census Tool project to Maia Williams

Domain name: freopedia.org

Garry Gillard (of https://fremantlestuff.info/ fame) registered freopedia.org a few years ago, and on 3 Mar 2021 he asked us if we wanted it. He said that he wasn’t allowed to use it due to trademark rules (although it’s not clear that WMAU or WMF does own a trademark on ‘Freopedia’) and it’s not been used for anything. If we take it on, we’ll redirect it to the Freopedia project page on English Wikipedia (although we might want to set up a page on Meta, if the project is to contain further Commons and Wikidata aspects).

Decision
Decision: That WMAU should take on the freopedia.org domain name and set it up as a redirect to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiTown/Freopedia
Moved: Pru (via email); seconded: Alex (via email); outcome: passed (via email)
Notes: The cost will be about $28/year, and we’ll register it with our domain registrar Domain Central.

ACTION: Sam to organise domain name for Freopedia

Wikipedian in Residence Proposal at the AMV

As part of Simple APG we said we’d establish a pilot Wikipedian in Residence. Amanda Lawrence was first pilot in 2021 but did not require funding. The Australian Music Vault has invited James Gaunt be a Wikipedian in Residence there from July-Sept 2022. Based on the explosion of interest in the project and request for edit-a-thons throughout the year, we are proposing a one day per week residency program for six months, three months of which will be based at the Australian Music Vault. We are proposing we spend the $7K against the Wikipedian in Residence and that the Australian Music Vault contribute $5K.

Decision
Decision: To approve the appointment of James Gaunt as Wikimedia Australia’s Australian Music Wikipedian in Residence at the Australian Music Vault to a cost of $7,000.
Moved: Alex; seconded: Paige; outcome: Approved
Notes:
  • Action: Caddie and James to contact the AMV to discuss arrangements for the WiR

Wiki Loves Earth

Proposal for participation:

  • That Wikimedia Australia participates in the Wiki Loves Earth competition in 2022, and invites Margaret Donald to coordinate the competition, supported by a small working party.
  • That WMAU approve the following criteria for awards for the 2022 competition:
  • all criteria of the international competition with WMAU granting prizes of $100 each for the top 15 images (or number confirmed with the international competition in advance)

PLUS

  • photos may not be considered unless the uploader provides adequate description and identifiers
  • judges may consider only the first uploaded image of multiple images by a contributor of the same feature
  • judges may award up to three prizes for "filling the gaps" at $100 each for the purpose of rewarding images of places and things not yet found in the Commons or Wikipedia
  • That WMAU will fund $150 honorarium each for a maximum of 3 judges.
Decision
Decision:
Moved: Alex; seconded: Amanda; outcome: Approved
Notes:
