Policy:Universal Code of Conduct/it

Benvenuti alla revisione della bozza del codice universale di condotta (UCoC) della comunità! Ringraziamo fin d’ora per la partecipazione alla revisione di questa bozza e alla creazione di un codice universale di condotta per il movimento Wikimedia. Questa operazione ha lo scopo di fornire informazioni utili al Comitato di redazione del codice, dal momento che il processo di rifinitura dei contenuti non è terminato. Questa fase rimarrà operativa per 30 giorni, dopo i quali una bozza finale verrà sottoposta al consiglio direttivo. Per maggiori informazioni, leggere le FAQ e la pagina principale sull’UCoC. Punti importanti

• Questa è una bozza! Il comitato di redazione esaminerà i commenti ed apporterà i miglioramenti necessari via via che il processo di revisione andrà avanti.

0 - Introduzione

• Comment on "Introduction"

Questo codice universale di condotta (UCoC) definisce una base di comportamenti accettabili e inaccettabili. Si applica a chiunque interagisca e contribuisca sui progetti Wikimedia, online e offline. Riguarda utenti nuovi ed esperti, utenti con ruoli tecnici o di responsabilità nei progetti, organizzatori di eventi e partecipanti, dipendenti e membri dei consigli direttivi degli affiliati, e i dipendenti e i membri del consiglio direttivo della Wikimedia Foundation. Si applica a tutti gli eventi, spazi tecnici e progetti, in presenza e virtuali e a tutti i progetti e wiki di Wikimedia.

Questo include:

• Interazioni pubbliche o parzialmente pubbliche
• Discussioni, manifestazioni di disaccordo e solidarietà tra membri della comunità
• Questioni riguardanti lo sviluppo tecnico
• Aspetti della contribuzione ai contenuti
• Casi di rappresentanza di affiliati/comunità con partner esterni
• Spazi di collaborazione pubblica ed eventi, conferenze stampa e convegni professionali

L’UCoC fornisce una base di comportamenti per la collaborazione nei progetti Wikimedia in tutto il mondo. Le comunità possono espandere questa base con linee guida che tengano conto del contesto locale e culturale, pur mantenendola come standard minimo.

1. Perché abbiamo un Codice universale di condotta

• Comment on "Why We Have a UCoC"

Noi crediamo nel coinvolgimento del maggior numero possibile di partecipanti ai progetti e agli spazi Wikimedia per raggiungere la nostra visione di un mondo in cui ognuno possa avere libero accesso e condividere tutto il patrimonio della conoscenza umana. Crediamo che le nostre comunità di contributori debbano essere il più possibile caratterizzate da diversità, inclusività e accessibilità.

Vogliamo che queste comunità siano degli ambienti positivi, sani e sicuri per chiunque vi partecipi. Vogliamo inoltre proteggere i nostri progetti da coloro che ne danneggiano o distorcono i contenuti.

The UCoC applies equally to all Wikimedians without any exceptions. Acting in contradiction with the UCoC can result in sanctions being imposed by the community representatives and functionaries of the platforms (as per the local communities endorsement and contextualisation) or the Wikimedia Foundation as the legal owner of the platforms.

In line with the Wikimedia mission, all who engage in Wikimedia projects and spaces will:

• help create a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
• participate in a global community that will avoid bias and prejudice, and
• strive towards accuracy and verifiability in all its work.

2 - Expected behavior

• Comment on "Expected behavior"

Every Wikimedian, whether they are a new or experienced editor, a community functionary, an affiliate or WMF board member or employee, is responsible for their own behavior.

In all Wikimedia projects, spaces and events behavior will be founded in respect, civility, collegiality, solidarity and good citizenship. This applies to all contributors and participants in their interaction with all contributors and participants, without distinction based on age, mental or physical disabilities, physical appearance, national, religious, ethnic, and cultural background or caste, social class, language fluency, sexual orientation, gender identities, or career field. Nor will we distinguish based on accomplishments, skills or standing in the Wikimedia-projects or movement.

2.1 - Respect

• Comment on "Respect"

Respect is showing regard for others. In communicating with people, whether in online or offline Wikimedia environments, we will treat them with the same respect as we would want them to show to us.

This includes but is not limited to:

• Practice empathy. Listen and try to understand what any Wikimedians have to tell you. Be ready to challenge and adapt your own understanding, expectations and behaviour as a Wikimedian.
• Always assume good faith, and engage in constructive, positive editing. Provide and receive feedback kindly and in good faith. Criticism should be delivered in a sensitive, constructive manner, and include concrete, measurable strategies for improvement.
• Respect the way that contributors name and describe themselves. People may use specific terms to describe themselves. As a sign of respect, use these terms when communicating with or about these people. Examples include:
  • Ethnic groups may use a specific name to describe themselves, rather than the name historically used by others to describe them
  • People with names that use distinct letters, sounds, or words from their language  which may be unfamiliar to you;
  • People who identify with a certain sexual orientation or gender identity using distinct names or pronouns;
  • People who identify as having a particular physical or mental disability may use particular terms to describe themselves
• When meeting in person, we will strive to be welcoming to everyone and we will be mindful and respectful of each others’ preferences, sensibilities, traditions and requirements.

2.2 - Civility, collegiality, solidarity and good citizenship

• Comment on "Civility, collegiality, solidarity and good citizenship"

Civility is a high standard of politeness in behaviour and speech amongst people, including strangers. Collegiality is the friendly support that people engaged in a common effort extend to each other. Good citizenship means taking active responsibility for ensuring that the Wikimedia projects are productive, pleasant and safe places to be, and contribute to the Wikimedia Mission.

This includes but is not limited to

• Mentorship and coaching: Helping newcomers to find their way and acquire essential skills
• Show solidarity: Look out for fellow contributors, lend them a hand when they need support, and speak up for them when they are treated in a way that falls short of our standards
• Recognize and credit the work done by contributors: thank them for the help they have given you. Appreciate their efforts and give credit where it is due.

3 - Unacceptable behavior

• Comment on "Unacceptable behavior"

The Universal Code of Conduct aims to help community members identify situations of bad behavior and harassment. The following behaviors are considered unacceptable within the Wikimedia movement:

3.1 - Harassment

• Comment on "Harassment"

This includes any behavior designed primarily to intimidate, outrage or upset a person. Behavior can be considered harassment if it is beyond what a reasonable person would be expected to tolerate (given the cultural context and expectations of the people involved). Harassment often takes the form of emotional abuse, especially towards people who are in a vulnerable position.

In some cases, behavior that would not rise to the level of harassment in a single case can become harassment through repetition. Harassment includes but is not limited to:

• Insults: This includes name calling, using slurs or stereotypes, and any attacks based on personal characteristics. Insults may refer to perceived characteristics like intelligence, appearance, ethnicity, race, religion, culture, caste, sexual orientation, gender, disability, age, nationality, political affiliation, or other characteristics. In some cases, repeated mockery, sarcasm, or aggression may qualify as insults collectively, even if individual statements would not.
• Sexual harassment: Unsolicited sexual attention or advances of any kind towards others.
• Threats: Using the possibility of physical violence, legal action, unfair embarrassment, or reputational harm to win an argument or force someone to behave the way you want.
• Encouraging harm to others: This includes encouraging someone else to commit self-harm or suicide as well as encouraging someone to conduct violent attacks on a third party.
• Doxing: publishing others' private information, such as name, a place of employment, a physical or email address, without their explicit permission. As a minimum standard, one should never publish information that a person has tried to keep private and not published online. Many communities will have a higher standard than this and prefer to prohibit the publication of information published elsewhere on the internet but not shared on a Wikimedia project.
• Stalking: following a person across the project and repeatedly critiquing their work with the intent to upset or discourage them.
• Trolling: Deliberately disrupting conversations or posting in bad-faith to intentionally provoke someone

3.2 - Abuse of power, privilege, or influence

• Comment on "Abuse of power, privilege, or influence"

Abuse occurs when someone in a real or perceived position of power, privilege, or influence engages in disrespectful, cruel, and/or violent behavior toward other people. In Wikimedia environments it most frequently takes the form of emotional abuse (verbal, mental, psychological abuse) and may overlap with harassment.

• Abuse of office by functionaries, officials and staff: misuse of authorities, knowledge or resources at the disposal of (elected) project functionaries, as well as officials and staff of the Wikimedia Foundation or Wikimedia affiliates to intimidate or threaten others, or for their own material or immaterial benefit.
• Abuse of seniority and connections: Using one’s position and reputation to intimidate others. We ask people with significant experience and connections in the movement to behave with special care because hostile comments may carry an unintended implication of creating threats from friends and supporters.
• Gaslighting (Psychological manipulation): Working (alone or with a group) to cause someone to doubt their own perceptions, senses, or understanding. People with community authority have a particular privilege to be viewed as reliable and should not abuse this to attack others who disagree with them.

3.3 - Content vandalism and abuse of the projects

• Comment on "Content vandalism and abuse of the projects"

Deliberately introducing incorrect or biased content to the Wikimedia projects or hindering the creation of content. This includes but is not limited to:

• Repeated removal of Wikimedia content without appropriate peer review or constructive feedback for improvement
• Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view
• Hate speech in any form of expression which intends to vilify, humiliate, or incite hatred against a group or a class of persons on the basis of race, religion, skin color, sexual identity, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, or national origin
• Unwarranted, unjustified addition of symbols, images, or content with the intent to intimidate or harm others.
