It looks broken; better block it now and ask User:Tawker what's gone wrong. --68.39.274.138 15:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

9/11 Wikipedia

Hi, Kim. In light of the four discussions listed below, what course of action would you take with regard to the 9/11 Wikipedia if you were elected to the board?

Looking forward to your response. Thanks. Andreyi 17:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Vote canvassing? --Ghirlandajo 18:05, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply
AGF, Ghirla. :D Kim's one of the last people we need to inform about Steward elections, but I imagine he'd be happy if the IRC issue weren't an issue, hence the comment. ~Kylu (u|t) 06:31, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Candidacy translation

Ik veronderstel dat ge zelf uw kandidaatstelling in het Nederlands kunt vertalen...

Also, you might think about listing your language capabilities somewhere (here or on WP).--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 11:43, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ja hoor geen punt. Ik log daar net voor in. :-) --Kim Bruning 12:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Questions for the Wikipedia Signpost

Hi! My name is Ral315, and I'm the editor-in-chief of the Wikipedia Signpost, a weekly newspaper on the English Wikipedia. I'm sending out an optional questionnaire that I hope you'll respond to. These questions will be published in next week's issue, and hopefully translated into many languages and copied to the Meta-Wiki prior to the election. (So, if you speak multiple languages, it'd be fantastic, though certainly not required, if you'd be willing to translate your answers into any languages you speak fluently.)

There's no word limit on any of these questions, but I suggest that brevity (maybe about 300-400 words per answer) is best. If at all possible, answers should be submitted by 16:00 UTC on Monday, June 25 (though late responses will also be accepted).

I'm posting these to your talk pages because they don't really fit well on question pages (since many will repeat questions you've already answered). You can reply to me by e-mail, or at my English Wikipedia, English Wikinews or Meta talk pages.

Thanks again for answering these, and good luck in the elections.

Sincerely, Ral315


  1. Do you have any other usernames or pseudonyms?
  1. What current or former user rights or positions do you have, and on which projects? (i.e. administrator, bureaucrat, arbitrator, developer, steward, board member, etc.)
  1. Outside of Wikipedia, what do you do for a living?
  1. What languages do you speak?
  1. Why do you want to join the Board? What qualities do you feel you can bring to the Board?
  1. About how much time do you think you'll put into the role?
  1. Ideally, where do you see the Wikimedia Foundation in 5 years?
  1. As a board member, how will you ensure a balance between openness and necessary privacy in board matters?
  1. Recent discussion has centered around the Wikipedia and Wikimedia brands. How do you feel the Wikimedia brands should be used, or changed?
  1. Wikimedia projects in developing nations are growing in popularity, but still lag far behind the more popular projects. What steps would you suggest to improve the quality, readership, and number of editors on smaller wikis?
  1. What do you feel should be done to increase participation on non-Wikipedia projects?
  1. As a board member, what strategies would you consider to raise money for the Foundation?
  1. What else do you want to say to voters? (This is a good place to answer a question specific to your candidacy that you think should be answered)

Hello

How are you, Kim? I won't be active on Wikipedia anymore, but if I hang around here, am I still eligible to vote for you? In any case, I wonder if you can help me with some transwiki'ing? If you take a look at MFD, you'll know what I'm talking about. There are several essays that I am trying to move over here. In particular, the Laissez-faire essay should probably be imported. And ideally, the others should be as well. Qq 23:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
