Sorry for cross-posting, but the original message wasn't sent to the
above lists although it affects the users at those projects just as
much. :-)

Hello, SlimVirgin, I fully support your research
project. This could hopefully help a lot of people.
: )
I'd like to invite anyone e-mailing SlimVirgin to
CC me as well, if they feel comfortable doing so.
I am doing a research project of my own.
Although mine focuses on banned users who
may feel attacked by Wikipaedia, I am happy
to hear from you whether you are an admin
or a regular editor, an arbitrator or a banned
user, no matter which website you feel hurt
by. I will also keep replies confidential
except to the extent that you grant permission
otherwise.
Thanks!

Original message by SlimVirgin:
I'm writing a paper on cyberstalking and harassment, which I hope to
hand to the Foundation with a view to educating people about the
extent of the problem on the Wikimedia projects, and if possible
improving their responses to it.
I'd like to include some concrete examples of cyberstalking or offline
stalking that have happened to users as a result of their
participation in any of the Wikimedia projects, and particularly where
the target was picked on because they were an administrator.
If you've been a target of this yourself, or if you know of anyone who
has, I'd appreciate hearing from you at slimvirgin at gmail dot com.
All replies will be received in strictest confidence. Your name would
not have to be included in the final document, and if you're worried
about being exposed in any way, I can change all identifying details.
Nothing will be included about you without your express permission.
What I'm most interested in hearing about is how the cyberstalking or
harassment made you feel, and what happened when you tried to find
support. I'd like to hear about your fears; whether it made you
anxious; whether it affected your sleep or appetite, or your health in
any other way; and whether you considered ending your association with
the project you were involved in (or did end it). Even if your fears
felt completely irrational, I'd like to hear about them.
I'd also like to hear from women who feel they were subjected to
additional harassment because of their sex, or from gays and members
of ethnic minorities who feel they were picked on in whole or in part
because of that.
Many thanks,
Sarah

Subject: [Foundation-l] ComProj needs your help - call for volunteers
To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
wikipedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, English Wikipedia <
wikien-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Dear Wikimedians,
The Communication Projects Group or ComProj was set up some months ago
to provide a venue for collaboration between Wikimedians who want to
help with communication work. We do all sorts of things: preparation
of PR material, reaching out to specific groups to get them involved
in our projects, and encouraging inter-project communication.
While the group was started up by Sandra Ordonez, the Wikimedia
Foundation's Communications Manager, it could in its present form have
been started up by any Wikimedian - Sandy is always there to offer
guidance but she has made it clear she is not in charge and wants the
group to run itself. We do that.
How we work is that communication projects are put forward on our
mailing list, and people can volunteer to take them on in groups or
individually. These can come from all members and, unsurprisingly,
Sandy and Cary Bass, Wikimedia's volunteer co-ordinator at the office.
We also have weekly IRC meetings to discuss our projects.
At the moment we are struggling for members due to August dragging
many people away. Projects are not getting done as fast as they should
be and we could really do with more members. So, if you have an
interest in communications, please drop by
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Membership>.
All that we require is that you are willing to put a decent amount of
time into our projects, prioritising it amongst your other valuable
work.
Please distribute this to individual project mailing lists that I may
not be subscribed to, as ComProj is not just for Wikipedia.
Yours,
Sean Whitton
ComProj chair

Let's see if this does anything!
Noticing the Spam blacklist requests were piling up Aphaia & I started
working on the backlog and have got quite a bit done.
However we have encountered two issues which we would appreciate other
views on.
The use of the blacklist by non foundation wikis
This is probably best looked at/described here -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASpam_blacklist&diff=6521…
Views welcome?
The use of local blacklists & particularly en wp.
There is quite a bit of (valid) pressure to place some persistently
spammed domains into the Meta list. It appears en wp admins are
reluctant to use the local blacklist (why?). However - equally - the
validity of some of the domains is more than a little questionable.
Will brass-fittings-brass-fittings.netfirms.com, suntanning.com or
uk-metal-detectors .co.uk be likely to be useful to the foundation?
Before I find myself in a(nother) argument views would be welcome or
equally a better place to post? Giving this list a "start" seemed an
idea!
Cheers
Herby

Yay! We're an official mailing list now on lists.wikimedia.org! :-)
Most of you may need to change your password, because a random was created
during the moving process (just hit the "remind" button on
http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/options/wikimediameta-l after you enter
your e-mail address).
Let's hope that this lists will become used well in the future. :-) Anyone
have any meta topics that we need to discuss? :-)
