Hello,
This message is a follow-up to the 2021 April meeting of Arbitration
Committee members and other functionaries [1] from many Wikimedia projects.
During that meeting, there was a presentation and discussion about Croatian
Wikipedia and the challenges faced by that project. The discussion was
informed by a recent evaluation the Wikimedia Foundation commissioned to
better understand current and past challenges of Croatian Wikipedia. The
decision to conduct the evaluation was a result of the significant and
ongoing community concerns raised on Meta and elsewhere.
The summary of the evaluation is now available on Meta [2] and the full
report is available on Commons [3]. These documents also describe
significant changes that were implemented by the local and global community
since that meeting.
Ongoing round-table sessions [4] and the upcoming functionary meetings in
June and July [5] may include discussions about the broader recommendations
made in this report.
We welcome community members interested in discussing these topics to
attend.
Thank you,
-Xeno (WMF)
