This is a couple of steps above how <i><a href="/wiki/Entrepreneur_(magazine)" title="Entrepreneur (magazine)">Entrepreneur</a></i> used to write similar articles which didn't have input from Wikipedians. </p><p>Summarizing some of Axios's main points, they tell companies </p> <ul><li>If a client or company is in the news, communication and PR teams should make sure that the Wiki page is up to date, because it'll inevitably see a surge in views.</li> <li>"You must have a presence on Wikipedia, and you must be able to correct or update your presence there — which is easier said than done," quoting the CEO of the reputation management firm.</li> <li>Flowery brand language or spin, ... makes editors skeptical of PR professionals and corporate communicators.</li></ul> <p>And they say that Wikipedians say </p> <ul><li>Create a Wikipedia account, do not attempt to edit anonymously</li> <li>Always disclose conflicts of interest</li> <li>Sourcing is a must. Every edit must be cited by a secondary source — and no, your company website or personal records don't count.</li></ul> <p>There's some obvious tension in the two viewpoints. What would happen if a company maintained a presence on Wikipedia and tried to keep the article about their company up to date, while avoiding anonymous edits, disclosing their conflicts of interest, and adequately sourcing every edit? </p><p>It would be a great advance from the current conditions, of course. But what's going to happen when Wikipedians and the company representatives disagree? Wikipedians almost always disagree about major edits, even among ourselves. Some Wikipedians will want it one way and won't be shy about telling the company employees. The employees generally won't disagree among themselves. They will be thinking about their paychecks and what their bosses want. Who will win? </p><p>Axios seems to suggest that a compromise can be reached. <i>The Signpost</i> is skeptical. Would the companies really want to work this way? Would Wikipedians really be willing to compromise so easily? Perhaps more importantly, if everybody could agree on what not to include, we would end up having some really boring articles. </p><p>The "Wikipedia's influence grows" claim in the title rests on a recent report by the Washington Post, titled <i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230419120558/https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2023/ai-chatbot-learning/">"Inside the secret list of websites that make AI chatbots sound smart"</a></i>. Axios summarizes it as saying that "these tools focused on three key websites — 'patents.google.com No. 1, which contains text from patents issued around the world; wikipedia.org No. 2, the free online encyclopedia; and scribd.com No. 3, a subscription-only digital library.'" However, it is worth noting that according to the WaPo's numbers this top position corresponded to Wikipedia contributing only 0.19% of the tokens in the <a href="/wiki/Common_Crawl#Google_Colossal_Clean_Crawled_Corpus" title="Common Crawl">text corpus in question</a> - much less than e.g. the 3% of <a href="/wiki/GPT-3#Training_and_capabilities" title="GPT-3">the training data for OpenAI's GPT-3 model</a> that are said to have come from Wikipedia. </p><p>Axios also states that "According to <a class="external text" href="https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/all-projects">Wikistats</a>, the data gathering function within the Wikimedia organization, Wikipedia saw 26 billion total page views in March alone. In the last year, the site received 279 billion unique views [sic], which is a 22% increase year over year." However, as cautioned in the small print of Wikistats, "this data shows page views from automated traffic as well as human traffic." When switched to display "human user page views", the same site instead indicates a 4.5% drop from 2021 to 2022 (although for more recent months, the WMF's more detailed "<a href="/wiki/File:March_2023_Wikimedia_Movement_Metrics.pdf" title="File:March 2023 Wikimedia Movement Metrics.pdf">Movement Metrics</a>" analysis indicates a modest year-over-year growth again). </p><p>– <span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="/wiki/User:Smallbones" title="User:Smallbones">S</a>, <a href="/wiki/User:HaeB" title="User:HaeB">H</a></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="African_Journalism_Award:_Open_the_Knowledge" data-mw-thread-id="h-African_Journalism_Award:_Open_the_Knowledge-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-African_Journalism_Award:_Open_the_Knowledge-signpost-article-title"></span>African Journalism Award: Open the Knowledge<span data-mw-comment-end="h-African_Journalism_Award:_Open_the_Knowledge-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1240928998"></div><div class="signpost-sidebar signpost-sidebar-fillerimage"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Francophone_Africa.png" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Map showing Francophone Africa" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Francophone_Africa.png/300px-Francophone_Africa.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="300" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Francophone_Africa.png/450px-Francophone_Africa.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4f/Francophone_Africa.png/600px-Francophone_Africa.png 2x" data-file-width="997" data-file-height="996"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure><div class="signpost-fillerimage">Francophone Africa – too diverse for inclusion?</div></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248129851"><div class="wp-signpost-block-2 wp-signpost-block-2-narrow"> <p>A number of African media outlets, among them the Nigerian <i><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://guardian.ng/ama-press-releases/wikimedia-foundation-launches-open-the-knowledge-journalism-awards-on-world-press-freedom-day/">Guardian</a></i>, are reporting on the WMF's "Open the Knowledge" African Journalism Awards announced on 3 May 2023 in a <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2023/05/03/wikimedia-foundation-launches-open-the-knowledge-journalism-awards/">WMF press release</a>: </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237805129"><blockquote class="talkquote" style="padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em;"><p><b>Africawide</b> – The Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that operates Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, is today launching the inaugural Open the Knowledge Journalism Awards.

For Osama Khalid, one of the hundreds of thousands of volunteers who edit Wikipedia, the tariff was 32 years in jail – his punishment for 'violating public morals' by posting news 'deemed to be critical' of the Saudi regime. Ziyad al-Sofiani, his fellow 'admin' (as senior Wikipedia editors are known) was handed eight years. Their jail terms were reported by activist groups around the same time that Wikimedia, the online encyclopaedia's parent foundation, revealed that it had banned 16 users in the Middle East and North Africa region for 'editing the platform in a coordinated fashion to advance the aim of [external] parties'. Alleged spies for the Saudi government, in other words, trying to manipulate the truth. And these days, if you want to control 'the truth', you want to control Wikipedia. </p></blockquote> <p>The article goes on to say that Wikipedia gets almost as many visits as Twitter, about half as many as Facebook – and about ten times as many as the BBC. Wikimedia Foundation CEO Maryana Iskander however feels this level of influence is in good hands: </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237805129"><blockquote class="talkquote" style="padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em;"><p>'There are enough checks and balances in the system,' she says. Chief among them, she notes, are the 'human army of truth tellers out there trying to ensure that information remains accurate and reliable and neutral'. And that means the volunteers like Osama Khalid. </p></blockquote> <p>The article goes on to provide a well-researched overview of Wikipedia topics such as edit wars, volunteer motivation, Wikipedia's gender imbalance and Wikipedia bureaucracy and ends with a summary of plans for the future growth of Wikipedia: </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237805129"><blockquote class="talkquote" style="padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em;"><p>Iskander says that in future she wants to focus on Wikipedia becoming as comprehensive in its hundreds of other language versions as it is in English. The danger then might not be the danger of regulatory extinction, but of Wikipedia becoming too powerful – a ubiquitous single source of truth. It has already become, for example, the go-to source for smart speakers and voice assistants dishing out information on demand. And Wikimedia is keen to go further by vacuuming up the archives and data at specialist institutions. Iskander thinks it’s a good deal for such institutions, because the size of Wiki's audience brings such huge exposure. 'More eyeballs on your content is going to increase interest.' </p><p>It sounds like the take-it-or-leave it power play of information’s market leader. Iskander insists it's all for the greater good.

To do so, we first web-scraped biographies of academics nominated for deletion from 2017 to 2020 (n = 843). Next, we created a numerical proxy for each subject's online presence score. This value is meant to emulate Wikipedia's “Search Engine Test,” (WP:Search Engine Test) a convenient and common way editors can determine probable notability before nominating a biography for deletion. [...] We also conducted a qualitative analysis of the discussions surrounding deleted biographies labeled “Too Soon,” (WP:Too soon). Doing so allowed our research team to assess if gender and/or racial discrepancies existed in deciding whether a biography was considered notable enough for Wikipedia. We find that both metrics are implemented idiosyncratically." </p> </blockquote> <p>However, this is making a manifestly and indefensibly incorrect claim about how Wikipedia editors judge topics for notability.

Notability is evaluated with the aid of various guidelines that codify community norms and experience, prominent among which is the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GNG" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GNG">General Notability Guideline (GNG)</a>.

This is not the meaning of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Snowball_clause" title="Wikipedia:Snowball clause">the snowball clause</a>. Instead, invoking <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SNOW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SNOW">WP:SNOW</a> is a statement that the conclusion of a discussion is already obvious: the chance of its changing direction is the proverbial snowball's chance in hell, and letting it run for a deletion debate's typical period of a full week would be a waste of everyone's time. The conclusion is not that Bouman's notability was "questionable", but rather that it was obvious. The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Katie_Bouman" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katie Bouman">deletion debate for Bouman's biography</a> did not end "eventually".

If the goal is to determine whether or not Wikipedia's self-proclaimed standards are being applied equitably, then the evaluation should consider the standards that are actually being proclaimed. </p><p>A central assertion of Lemieux et al. is that they quantified whether the "Search engine test" is <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">being equitably utilized</q> using a metric they call the "Primer Index", after the software employed to calculate it. This metric is based upon <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">the number of times that an individual is mentioned in a news article and in which context</q>, which evidently is at best an indirect perspective upon any of the WP:PROF criteria. <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">To confirm the validity of the “Primer Index,” we also created a "Google Index" to approximate the total number of hits that appear when an academic's full name and occupation are searched on Google. Using a custom Google Sheets code, we extracted an academic's full name and occupation from Wikidata and automatically searched Google for every instance of “full name + occupation” for each academic in our dataset on the same day.</q> At this juncture, see again the cautionary words of "Search engine test" itself, and the more popular link for making the same point, the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GOOGLEHITS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GOOGLEHITS">"Arguments to avoid" page quoted above</a>. Lemieux et al. nominally validated their "Primer Index" based on an argument that <i>is literally one of the arguments we tell everyone to avoid.</i> This supposed confirmation rests on no foundation at all. Having made this claim, Lemieux et al. write that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">our data indicate that BIPOC biographies who meet Wikipedia's criteria (i.e., above the White Male Keep median Primer Index of 12.00) were among those deleted</q>. Because the "Primer Index" and "Google Index" are completely unmoored from Wikipedia practice, there is no reason to equate passing some threshold of them with meeting "Wikipedia's criteria". </p><p>The evident limitations of the "Google Index" are, in fact, an excellent indication of why a guideline like WP:PROF is necessary. Any search of the form "full name + occupation" will omit, or at best provide a paucity of hits from within books, the text of paywalled journal articles, and bibliographies including citations to the person in question. Furthermore, it will penalize those who are written about in languages other than English. The various criteria of WP:PROF, which start with citation databases but decidedly do not end there, provide a far less superficial understanding of article-worthiness. It is also the case that the consensus-building in AfD's reliant upon WP:PROF allows for greater discernment and flexibility where differences between specializations are concerned. (Lemieux et al. do not individuate between disciplines, despite the strong likelihood that some fields are more heavily advertised and more <a href="/wiki/Charismatic_megafauna" title="Charismatic megafauna">charismatic</a> than others. Think of pop psychology versus pure mathematics, for example.) </p><p>Even if we set aside the concerns about the basic premises, a problem with the analysis remains. Suppose, for the sake of the argument, that we grant that the "Primer Index" measures something of interest. Lemieux et al. write that white males whose biographies were kept rated significantly higher on the Primer Index than those whose biographies were deleted. They compare the median Primer Indices of these two groups using the <a href="/wiki/Kruskal%E2%80%93Wallis_one-way_analysis_of_variance" class="mw-redirect" title="Kruskal–Wallis one-way analysis of variance">Kruskal–Wallis test</a> and report that the test gives a small <a href="/wiki/P-value" title="P-value">p-value</a>. In contrast, the p-values for white women, for BIPOC men, and for BIPOC women were all large. Lemieux et al conclude that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">There was no statistically significant difference in the median Primer Index between kept and deleted pages for white women or for BIPOC academics</q>, and thus that the Primer Index <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">is not an accurate predictor of Wikipedia persistence for female and BIPOC academics</q>. But a large p-value on the Kruskal–Wallis test is not itself sufficient to conclude that the distributions being compared are the same. (The documentation for the software the authors use says as much.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>supp 10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>) Indeed, per their figure 2, the difference in sample medians between kept and deleted biographies for BIPOC women was even larger than that for white men. The apparent differences in the statistics across these groups may be due, in whole or in part, to the large variations in sample sizes: 419 white men, but only 185 white women, 171 BIPOC men, and 69 BIPOC women.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>supp 11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_Titular_"Too_Soon"" data-mw-thread-id="h-The_Titular_"Too_Soon"-"How_gender_and_race_cloud_notability_considerations_on_Wikipedia"_–_or_do_the"><span id="The_Titular_.22Too_Soon.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_Titular_"Too_Soon"-"How_gender_and_race_cloud_notability_considerations_on_Wikipedia"_–_or_do_the"></span>The Titular "Too Soon"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_Titular_"Too_Soon"-"How_gender_and_race_cloud_notability_considerations_on_Wikipedia"_–_or_do_the"></span></h4></div> <p>The page <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Too_soon" title="Wikipedia:Too soon">Wikipedia:Too soon</a> is an essay, not a guideline and certainly not a policy.

The following excerpt is from the AfD for the biography of a white, male, assistant professor who was nominated for deletion under the tag <i>WP:Too soon</i>: “Most of the newspaper articles cited in the main article are not directly related to the subject, and apart from this brief article in the Dainik Jagran that borders on being a hagiography of the subject, there's no real coverage for WP:GNG. WP:Too soon perhaps.”</q> The biography in question was for a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Shivendu_Ranjan" title="Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shivendu Ranjan">Shivendu Ranjan</a>. Moreover, the tag <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TOOSOON" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TOOSOON">WP:TOOSOON</a> was not used in the nomination. Instead, the nominator stated that Ranjan failed the GNG. The !voter being quoted began their rationale by saying that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">there is no evidence that the subject meets <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ACADEMIC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ACADEMIC">WP:ACADEMIC</a></q> (another pointer to the same guideline as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PROF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PROF">WP:PROF</a>).

Further examples of misleading quotation will be noted below. </p><p>They go on: <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">Despite the academic being an assistant professor, the moderator [<i>sic</i>] focused on media coverage, not the career stage, of the subject which is in accordance with the Wikipedia guidelines of the tag <i>WP:Too soon.</i></q> The essay <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TOOSOON" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TOOSOON">WP:TOOSOON</a> says nothing specifically about academic career stages.

This methodology is flawed from the outset. It confuses correlation with contingency: one cannot neglect citation metrics and the other success indicators described in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PROF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PROF">WP:PROF</a> when talking about how academic-biography AfD's evaluate career status. The only time that "career stage" as Lemieux et al. think of it factors into a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PROF" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PROF">WP:PROF</a> judgment is if the subject has attained the named chair/Distinguished Professor level, because these indicate high levels of accomplishment.

And when articles on students appear at AfD, the community files them with the other AfD's on academics and educators. Students and trainees <i>are</i> academics and are evaluated as such. They often fall short of notability, not because of the label "student", but because students infrequently stand out by the criteria that are actually relied upon. Because Lemieux et al. erroneously believe that Wikipedia regards all these people as "non-academics," they score all biographies thereof with a 0 on their career-stage scale, regardless of the subject's actual career stage. For example, a graduate student at a university would be scored the same as a senior research scientist at a major corporation. Upon these meaningless numbers, Lemieux et al. then do bad arithmetic, computing an <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">average career stage [...] by calculating the sum of the career stage scores and dividing this by the total number of entries</q>.

In this paper, we study a wide range of representative similarity methods for Wikidata, organized into three categories, and leverage background information for knowledge injection via retrofitting. We measure the impact of retrofitting with different weighted subsets from Wikidata and ProBase. Experiments on three benchmarks show that the best performance is achieved by pairing language models with rich information, whereas the impact of injecting knowledge is most positive on methods that originally do not consider comprehensive information. The performance of retrofitting is conditioned on the selection of high-quality similarity knowledge. A key limitation of this study, similar to prior work lies in the limited size and scope of the similarity benchmarks. While Wikidata provides an unprecedented possibility for a representative evaluation of concept similarity, effectively doing so remains a key challenge." </p> </blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Matching_non-notable_Wikidata_"orphans"_to_Wikipedia_sections" data-mw-thread-id="h-Matching_non-notable_Wikidata_"orphans"_to_Wikipedia_sections-Other_recent_publications"><span id="Matching_non-notable_Wikidata_.22orphans.22_to_Wikipedia_sections"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Matching_non-notable_Wikidata_"orphans"_to_Wikipedia_sections-Other_recent_publications"></span>Matching non-notable Wikidata "orphans" to Wikipedia sections<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Matching_non-notable_Wikidata_"orphans"_to_Wikipedia_sections-Other_recent_publications"></span></h4></div> <p>From the abstract and paper:<sup id="cite_ref-44" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-44"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote style="padding-left:1.0em; padding-right:1.0em; background-color:#eaf8f4;"> <p>"We present a transformer-based model, ParaGraph, which, given a Wikidata entity as input, retrieves its corresponding Wikipedia section.

The candidates are then ranked using additional information from the entity’s textual description and contextual information. Our experimental results show that ParaGraph achieves 87% Hits@10 when ranking Wikipedia sections given a Wikidata entity as input. [...] </p><p>This mapping between Wikipedia and Wikidata is beneficial for both projects. On the one hand, it facilitates information extraction and standardization of Wikipedia articles across languages, which can benefit from the standard structure and values of their Wikidata counterpart, e.g., for populating infoboxes. On the other hand, Wikipedia articles are routinely updated, which in turn keeps Wikidata fresh and useful for online applications. However, the Wikipedia editorial guidelines require that an entity be notable or worthy of notice to be added to the encyclopedia, which does not hold for all Wikidata entities. [...] We refer to the remaining entities, which do not have an article in [any language] Wikipedia, as orphans. In the absence of a textual counterpart, orphans often suffer from incompleteness and lack of maintenance. Our present effort stems from the observation that a substantial number of orphan entities are indeed represented in Wikipedia, but not at the page level; orphan entities are often described within existing Wikipedia articles in the form of sections, subsections, and paragraphs of a more generic concept or fact. For example, the English Wikipedia does not have a dedicated page about “Tennis racket”, it is instead embedded in the “Racket” page as a section, whereas it can be found as a standalone (orphan) entity on Wikidata (“Q153362”)." </p> </blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="References" data-mw-thread-id="h-References-signpost-article-title"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-References-signpost-article-title"></span>References<span data-mw-comment-end="h-References-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1239543626"><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width" style="column-width: 30em;"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-2">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFLemieuxZhangTripodi2023" class="citation journal cs1">Lemieux, Mackenzie; Zhang, Rebecca; Tripodi, Francesca (March 29, 2023).

data-mw-comment-end="h-Summary"></span></h2></div> <p><b>The Wikimedia Foundation has remained in a period of transition.</b> It welcomed new leadership last year, including a new Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief Product and Technology Officer. The Foundation has navigated conversations with our global communities on a range of important issues, from a future charter defining roles and responsibilities to how we raise shared resources through banner fundraising. This year's Annual Plan gives greater clarity on multi-year strategic issues that don't have quick fixes, as well as more granular information on how the Foundation operates. As noted in the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2023-04-26/News_from_the_WMF" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-04-26/News from the WMF">first part</a> of this <i>Signpost</i> series, feedback from our many stakeholders is welcome and appreciated. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Where_we_are_today" data-mw-thread-id="h-Where_we_are_today"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Where_we_are_today"></span>Where we are today<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Where_we_are_today"></span></h2></div> <p><b><a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2022-2023" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2022-2023">Last year</a> we decided to focus our efforts at the Wikimedia Foundation on radically changing <i>how</i> we do our work.</b> This included organizing our work regionally to respond to the varying needs of communities globally, to refreshing our values at the Foundation to improve our own levels of collaboration. This is putting us in a better position to more meaningfully shift <i>what</i> we do – especially as the world around us changes in more unexpected ways and we assess how to have more collective impact on common goals toward the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Direction" class="extiw" title="m:Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Direction">2030 strategic direction</a>. </p><p><b>Once again, we must first consider the changing world around us</b>, what it needs from us, and how we must adapt to it. We are grounding this annual plan in multi-year strategic planning to consider longer-term shifts to the Wikimedia movement's revenue, product and technology, and roles and responsibilities. <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/External_Trends" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/External Trends">External trends</a> show that social platforms continue to displace traditional search engines, and that artificial intelligence threatens even more disruption to the digital world. The legal landscape on which our global movement relies is changing significantly after decades of relative stability. In response to continuing threats like mis- and disinformation, lawmakers are attempting to regulate internet platforms in ways that could fundamentally endanger our mission. These threats and increasing polarization create new <a href="/wiki/Reputational_risk" class="mw-redirect" title="Reputational risk">reputational risks</a> for our projects and work. Continued uncertainty in the global economy is accelerating the need to assess the trajectory of our revenue streams, and make new investments that can support growth in resources to fund our collective work and ambitions. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Our_approach_for_the_future" data-mw-thread-id="h-Our_approach_for_the_future"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Our_approach_for_the_future"></span>Our approach for the future<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Our_approach_for_the_future"></span></h2></div> <p><b>For the second consecutive year the Wikimedia Foundation is anchoring its annual plan in the movement's strategy to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity">advance equity</a>.</b> Our intention is to connect the Foundation's work even more deeply with the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_Strategy/Recommendations/Summary" class="extiw" title="m:Movement Strategy/Recommendations/Summary">Movement Strategy Recommendations</a>, to make even deeper progress toward the <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017" class="extiw" title="m:Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017">2030 Strategic Direction</a>. We remain driven to do this through collaborative planning with others in the movement who are also implementing the recommendations.

The upcoming Movement Charter is expected to give more clarity on roles and responsibilities, possibly through new collaborative structures like hubs and a Global Council. We intend to continue our collaboration with the charter process to <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity#Equity_in_Governance:_Charter,_Council,_and_Hubs" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Equity">advance equity in decision-making</a> for our movement. </p><p><b>This year the Foundation is recentering its plan around <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Infrastructure" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Infrastructure">Product and Technology</a></b>, emphasising our unique role as a platform for people and communities collaborating on a massive scale. The bulk of this effort – called "<a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Infrastructure#Bucket:_Wiki_Experiences" class="extiw" title="m:Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan/2023-2024/Goals/Infrastructure">Wiki Experiences</a>" – recognizes that volunteers are at the heart of the Wikimedian process of sensemaking and knowledge creation. So <b>this year, we are prioritising established editors</b> (including those with extended rights, like admins, stewards, patrollers, and moderators of all kinds, also known as functionaries) over newcomers, to ensure that they have the right tools for the critical work they do every day to expand and improve quality content, as well as their management of community processes. Managing the platform effectively also requires the Foundation to address large-scale infrastructure and data needs that may extend beyond the specific Wiki Experiences of the projects.
