@Ilario: Can you please elaborate why this campaign doesn't follow any of these guidelines? And not all of these are new.
- It is not linked in CentralNotice/Request, only CentralNotice/Calendar.
- The campaign was not created/requested 14 days in advance.
- Any kind of surveys have to be discussed at least 90 days in advance with WMF (pinging TAndic (WMF)) and publicly confirmed. The landing page fully lacks data protection notes which is highly concerning and likely would not have resulted in a confirmation.
- I cannot find any community communication about it before the start of the campaign. In parallel, campaigns for Wiki Loves Folklore and Steward Elections are running in your target area. I cannot find communication with these campaigns either, especially not that the WMCH campaign was given higher priority than the others.
- The staff-created campaign of WMCH was not approved by a volunteer CN admin (and no, in this regard your volunteer account cannot do this).
For that reason, I have disabled the campaign and I strongly encourage you to follow CN guidelines first. — Due to the lack of a request page, I'm using this space here. Certainly, we can move it elsewhere. Pinging active CN admins and WMF staff for checking my actions: @Ciell, Martin Urbanec, Vermont, Johannnes89, Astinson (WMF), and SWangari-WMF: —DerHexer (Talk) 11:43, 19 February 2025 (UTC) Reply
- The survey has been a standard practice since Wikimedia CH received funds through the FDC and remains an important tool, particularly as we conduct the fundraising campaign for the Wikimedia Foundation in Switzerland. It is not an exceptional event but rather a recurring practice that has been carried out for several years. For this reason, I included it in the calendar and activated the banner in my capacity as Wikimedia CH staff, as it was a planned activity aligned with the fundraising strategy (and conducted after the fundraising campaign). So it's s recurrening campaign and not a new campaign.
- I apologize, as I should have formally opened a new request. However, I am unsure how to proceed in cases where activities are already implicitly covered by an "informal" agreement with the WMF.
- Regarding privacy, the WMCH privacy policy applies, as no private data is collected. Participants may provide their username only if they wish to do so, but no IP addresses or other personal data are stored.
- As you know there was an impression diet exactly to don't impact with existing campaigns.
- On the other hand, I find it inconsistent that the Wiki Loves Folklore banner is currently displayed in Switzerland, despite no one from the Swiss community organizing the event here and Wikimedia CH not supporting it due to the short notice. Moreover, the banner is highly invasive—particularly in the Italian community, where it appears twice (both in the centralnotice and the sitenotice).
- That said, there is no issue from my side and no need to add two days for approval. I will report this discussion internally and clarify how to proceed in the future to ensure alignment with the process. --Ilario (talk) 09:59, 26 February 2025 (UTC) Reply
