Punctuation errors on the "Financial Reports" page

This page uses en dashes to identify financial years, when the dash should be restricted to ranges of years. That is according to the WP-en MOS and to general punctuation guidelines used by the publishing industry. I can't edit the page myself to fix.

It's arguable that the "2021-2022" financial year, with a hyphen, should be "2021/2022". But it's clearly wrong to typeset "2018–2019" with an en dash. It's not a period of two years, 2018 through 2019, but a single year that spans part of 2018 and part of 2019. At the very least it should be changed to a simple hyphen, but slashes are the norm for financial and school years. With a slash, unlike a hyphen, it's clear that the punctuation isn't a mistake for an en dash. Kwamikagami (talk) 21:38, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kwamikagami: These have been changed to a short dash - thank you for the ping. --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 15:20, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Office action

Is there a page somewhere- maybe here, maybe on governance wiki- that provides a log of past office actions made by the WMF? Edward-Woodrow (talk) 12:05, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Edward-Woodrow nothing complete and authoritative that I'm aware of. You can follow up on this at foundation:Policy talk:Office actions. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:20, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did ask this at Policy talk:Office actions, but this page is more centralized and has many more watchers, so I'll hopefully actually get an answer. Thanks, Edward-Woodrow (talk) 13:07, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Problem with link

Link for Board of Trustees is incorrect. Unregistered users and readers see 404. All(?) registered users see Rudolph Ampofo Proeksad (talk) 18:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Proeksad: This has been fixed - thank you for pointing it out! --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 15:17, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GVarnum-WMF, It doesn't work for authorized non-english users. [[foundationsite:role/board/{{Foundationsite language}}|Board of Trustees]] but, probably, should be [[foundationsite:{{Foundationsite language}}/role/board/|Board of Trustees]] because the links are organized differently, not like in projects (https://wikimediafoundation.org/de/role/board/ not https://wikimediafoundation.org/role/board/de) Proeksad (talk) 16:40, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Proeksad: Apologies - I did not notice that error. I have fixed - and will also work on checking the other uses just to make sure I did not repeat the error elsewhere. Again, apologies and thank you for your diligence and help! Also thank you to @Quiddity (WMF) for helping flag while I was away. :) --Gregory Varnum (Wikimedia Foundation) [he/him] (talk) 18:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How can I report

How can I report On a Wikipedia page that reports wrong things and protected. The facts is in Wikipedias, yet lies are there Meynachem's (talk) 17:55, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Meynachem's, which Wikipedia page are you talking about? Can you please link the page name here? –Tanbiruzzaman (talk) 17:59, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To the Wikipedia Editing Team

I am writing to request an immediate revision of the Wikipedia article regarding the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion in Gaza City on October 17, 2023. I have concerns about the current articles in Hebrew and Arabic, which present conflicting narratives. This has resulted in confusion and adversely affects Wikipedia's credibility.

Of utmost concern is the Arabic Wikipedia article, which presents a misleading narrative depicting the incident as an Israeli massacre, despite substantial evidence to the contrary. This misrepresentation not only perpetuates misinformation but also obstructs the pursuit of truth and reconciliation. Moreover, there is a real risk that such inaccuracies could incite violence against innocent individuals, a scenario that we all wish to avoid. Therefore, it is imperative to rectify these inaccuracies and provide a balanced and accurate account of the incident.

I propose the following actions to address this issue:

1. Conduct a thorough review of both the Hebrew and Arabic articles to correct inaccuracies and eliminate biases.

2. Ensure that all references are transparent, encompassing statements from the Israeli Defense Forces, American intelligence agencies, international media reports, and other reliable sources.

3. Commit to regular updates with the latest credible information to maintain the article's accuracy over time.

Wikipedia bears a significant responsibility for accurate and transparent reporting, especially in sensitive matters like this. I cannot emphasize enough the urgency of this situation.
