I can’t upload Auferstanden aus Ruinen
You see, the East German anthem doesn’t have an audio file because when I tried to upload it, it doesn’t work. It keeps telling it is unconstructive, but there is no other file. Same thing for the Chechen anthem, even thought the file doesn’t work on mobile. 197.167.245.218 (talk) 11:27, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Have you tried uploading it to https://commons.wikimedia.org? If that doesn't work, maybe post on their commons:Commons:Help desk. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Taking stock of the new Community Wishlist process
Over on the Meta talk page of the new Community Wishlist process I've done a post taking stock of the changes so far. Followers of this page may be interested in that discussion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:48, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
From The Forward. Any comment/advice from the WMF on this? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

WMF annual planning: How can we help more contributors connect and collaborate?
Hi all - the Wikimedia Foundation is kicking off our annual planning work to prepare for next fiscal year (July 2025-June 2026). We've published a list of questions to help with big-picture thinking, and I thought I'd share one of them here that you all might find interesting: We want to improve the experience of collaboration on the wikis, so it’s easier for contributors to find one another and work on projects together, whether it’s through backlog drives, edit-a-thons, WikiProjects, or even two editors working together. How do you think we could help more contributors find each other, connect, and work together? KStineRowe (WMF) (talk) 20:27, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- @KStineRowe (WMF), by providing more funding for scholarships to Wikimania and other conferences, for one thing. Sdkb talk 22:57, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
