Happy Adminship Anniversary!

A cup of coffee for you! Dissenting vote on Charter

Thanks for being the one Wikimedia Foundation trustee to make a dissenting vote to ratify the meta:Movement Charter.

The Charter is the present outcome of ten thousand Wikimedia editors' hopes and dreams for a better future for the Wikimedia Movement.

While I can understand the board declining to ratify the Charter, it would have made me extremely anxious to see a situation of total non-support when the Wikimedia community has put so much effort and good wishes into this. It can be hard to be the lone dissent, so thanks for being brave to advocate for the minority perspective.

The Wikimedia Foundation mission is to "empower and engage people around the world..." to develop our platform, and regardless of how the Wikimedia community overall votes on ratification, there are definitely large number of supporters. Your vote is social validation of that diversity of perspective. Knowing that the board has differing views represented is encouraging.

I have complete respect for the other trustees' vote and decision also, but I wanted to thank you personally because you are the one standing alone at this time. Bluerasberry (talk) 16:38, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks from me, too. The Board does not represent the Wikipedians, that is more evident than ever.Mautpreller (talk) 17:43, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry and Mautpreller: Thanks. I think this has been really tough for everyone involved. It will be really interesting to see the outcome of the community and affiliate ratification votes, and particularly the feedback that everyone has provided alongside the votes. I disagree with the statement that the 'Board does not represent the Wikipedians', though - since the majority of the Board comes from the community, and this is a really complex topic with many different views across the community. I do think the proposed experiments are now a good way to move forward, and I'm really hoping to see this talk page fill up with thoughts and comments about the three experiments. Thanks.
