Event Timeline

Adding an administrator from the Marathi Wikipedia for the same...

It is not completely clear to me whether this is expected to be be a representation of the wikipedia community or a personal level attempt.

If this is with personal responsibilty where in no community consensus needed then may go ahead. Although at personal level I am not for this as explained to him on my talk page on mr-wikipedia.

While my best wishes are always with this enthusistic but impulsive gentleman he is still comparatively new to Marathi Wikipedia community. Still it may be long time for Marathi wikipedia community to take decesion on his request, In any case because of impulsive nature I do not feel community should accord and he should not ask for any official responsibility toward social netwoking community .

He can always work at his personal level on social media and our best wishes are always with him. Thanks

Hi Tomasz,

The above is just a request, discussion is still underprocess, This gentelman is always in hurry.

I am truely aware that the link is of the request. Inorder to have social accounts ready to launch on the 1st day of May I am hurrying up. Mahitgar doesn't wants the social media accounts for Marathi Wikipedia as I am not truely aware what's wrong in having such. That opposition has been brought on phabricator which can be clearly seen. In his message which he writes in reply to me on his talkpage he fears of the local government taking charge for having a social account of MrWp which is completely out of my understanding as per how can a govt. Authority stop Marathi Wikipedia to have a social media account. Mahitgar has a quiet knowledge than me and slams me as impulsive but is truely unaware of the potential that social media has in order to expand the knowledge of Wikipedia.
According to my knowledge the state government promotes the use of digitality and I don't know y the MrWp admin fears of having a social media account. Is this a attempt to humiliate me on a global platform or mahitgar doesn't wants Marathi Wikipedia to expand it's scope. Mahitgar always slams me my saying that I am new, even I am new I have some knowledge of this and have expanded my scope well than that many of the MrWp editors haven't..

There are always two sides to every opinion mahitgar has negativity on behalf of having a social media account which he will continue to support. With the perspective of expanding scope I with another admin's advise have requested for the mailing list which according to the situation is essential to have I still support for the mailing list to be made in favor of Marathi wikipedias progress..

Thanking
Tiven Gonsalves on behalf of Marathi wikipedia

Aklapper lowered the priority of this task from High to Medium.Apr 25 2017, 10:57 AM

@Tiven2240: As you raised the priority of this task and as priority reflects reality and does not cause it, please elaborate why this task is more urgent than other tasks on the project workboard. Please do not change priority if it does not confirm with Setting Task Priorities. Resources of teams are limited when it comes to working on requests. We want to be realistic about communicating what is being worked on, to maximize the impact of changes. Practically, this often unfortunately means assigning a low priority to many tasks. Thanks for your understanding!

Things are getting misrepresented, hence forth only mr-wiki sysops will communicate community decesion and no one else .Community discussion is not over still in process and can take quite a long time.

It seems that the community itself is not in full agreement, as we have @Tiven2240 asking for something, and others stating that there is not consensus for it, and that it shouldn't be created.

I'm going to decline/close this task, since it seems premature (there is no point in having a task open, asking for a mailing list, when the concensus to create and run the list isn't yet in.

If/when consensus is reached, this task can simply be reopened, and the consensus noted on this task.
