Active Wikipedians can sign willingness to do an editorial strike [1], if requested to by WWU.

There's also a petition (effectively) requesting the #WMF Board of Trustees to instruct the CEO to voluntarily recognise #WWU [2], and a more generic solidarity with @wwu petition at [3].

It appears that several WMF managers have failed to abide by Wikimedia values: the behaviour described in [1] would not be tolerated on a Wikimedia wiki. Anyone behaving that way would be asked to cease their disruptive behaviour, and if unwilling or unable to cease, would be blocked or banned.

Throwing down the gauntlet! #WikiWorkersUnitedUS has today given #WikimediaFoundation #WMF four days, to 24 July 2026, to "respond to [WWU-US]'s request for voluntary recognition" as a trade union for Wikimedia US workers [1][2].

"Recent events at WMF have drastically escalated worker concerns regarding transparency, trust, the organization's future, and leadership's commitment to the free knowledge movement." [1][2]

It took me a bit to realize that the person laid off by Wikipedia is our own @brooke. Now I'm even more motivated to support the #WWU than I was already!

An injury to one is an injury to all!

Only six days left to apply!

At #WWU, we are searching for a colleague who is fond of #SurveyDesign / #SurveyAnalysis and likes to work with us in a #HorizonEurope project on #democracy, #participation, and #sustainability. It is a full position (100%) without teaching obligations that runs until end of February 2026. PhD is a plus, but not a must.

I am happy to answer any questions on the position and / or the project! @politicalscience @surveystatisticsandmethodology
