[Article] Fixing violations of CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses" (Slovak)

Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A new document was created, which is less "legal" and more "practical". It is about "Fixing violations of CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses" (Slovak). Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 07:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Can we get (or is there already) a redirect to Policy:Terms of Use#paid-contrib-disclosure, which could be handled as an interwiki link from project:Conflict of interest (Q4663309)? Please ping me if replying, I don't maintain a watchlist on this wiki. - Jmabel (talk) 01:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Jmabel: Apologies for the delay. I have created the redirect: Policy:PAID. However, I am unable to link it to d:Q4663309 as I get an error about the page the redirect is pointing to already being linked. I am not sure that you can link redirects to Wikidata - but I am not an expert on that - so open to input or others finishing the task. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 19:04, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@GVarnum-WMF: yeah, seems you now can't link redirects from Wikidata. I think that's a change from a couple of years ago. - Jmabel (talk) 20:54, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Jmabel: Hmmm - what do you think of a Disambig page? Something like Legal:Digital Millennium Copyright Act but specific to paid editing? Probably house it at Policy:Paid editing. Alternatively, go in "Conflict of interest" wording to match the Wikidata entry? ----Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 21:19, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@GVarnum-WMF: I'm open to any reasonable solution. Just to be clear what the actual problem is that I was trying to solve: the global policy expressed here is currently not linked in the obvious manner to the item that covers the policies for each individual Wikipedia or other wiki. - Jmabel (talk) 21:41, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Jmabel: How about these two edits - do those work for achieving this goal? --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 23:31, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@GVarnum-WMF: Looks good to me. - Jmabel (talk) 23:38, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Jmabel: Great - thank you for the feedback and suggestion! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 23:47, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Terms not displaying correctly on mobile

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

On the mobile version of the wiki, the sections in yellow are displayed only if the section 13 is opened, as if they were its subsections. I don't know if this is a bug in Mediawiki, but the terms should be fixed immediately, as the sections which are supposed to be more visible are actually made less visible. Janhrach (talk) 13:01, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Janhrach: Thank you for reporting this issue. I believe it should now be fixed, but please let me know if you are still experiencing issues. Thank you! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 03:26, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Does ToU require that Wikiprojects update license?

Latest comment: 4 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

On n:Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Update_of_license there is a discussion if Wikinews have to update to CC-BY-SA-4.0 or if it is okay to keep using CC-BY-2.5 or another license.

Perhaps someone from WMF could have a look and clarify if the ToU require that license is updated or not? --MGA73 (talk) 10:04, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@MGA73: FYI: Policy_talk:Terms_of_Use/Archive_2#Wikinews,_marketing_company_mediation The default move to CC BY SA 4.0 would not affect any project that expressly chooses to have a different licensing scheme [...] Wikinews and Wikidata's communities will keep their bespoke licensing schemes unless the communities choose otherwise.

Okay thank you! --MGA73 (talk) 09:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

+I would like inform about the report a violation of the GFDL license in projects[1] of the WMF Foundation[2]. The violation report is available at: https://krehel.sk/krehel.sk/Porusovanie_GFDL/ (Slovak).
-Under the Board Resolution: [[Resolution:Delegation of policy-making authority|Delegation of Policy-Making Authority]], the Wikimedia Board of Trustees delegated the authority to adopt, alter, and revoke policies to the Executive Director (Chief Executive Officer), who may further delegate such authority to the Wikimedia staff as they deem appropriate. We confirm that the update, posted on June 1, 2023 to become effective June 7, 2023, was approved by the Executive Director and General Counsel. [[User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad]]

-== Incorrect numbering of API Terms section ==
-{{edit request|answered=yes}}
-Hello, the "13. API Terms" section is likely incorrectly numbered, given that it is directly after "11. Resolutions and Project Policies" and directly before "13. Termination". The [[meta:Wikimedia Foundation Legal department/2023 ToU updates/Proposed update#12. API Terms|last version]] titles it "12. API Terms". [[User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad|Diktatorship]]

[[User:Dušan Kreheľ|Dušan Kreheľ]] ([[User talk:Dušan Kreheľ|talk]]) 07:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
-I have not seen any official announcement on wikimediafoundation.org and maillist about the updated ToU become effective June 7, 2023. Any announcement will be published? Thanks. [[User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad]]
-:Great question. A Diff post about what the CC 4.0 piece means to users is being prepared to go out either possibly the week after next. There's a slight wait on that because some of the technical changes for CC4.0 still need to propagate because of server update schedules. That would also be one place the effective date would be mentioned.
-:I can't fully confirm where-else it may be mentioned. But to try to address @[[User:Muhammad Alif Adha Bin Samad]],
-I came here to ask the same question. I noticed page edits on WM projects now state a CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Will there be notifications on all project sites?
-I will also note some broken things on Commons:
-* the edit page has a red link to the CC 4.0 license.
-* [[Commons:Ownership of pages and files]] refers to the 3.0 license.
