  Hi @Just Step Sideways

  I am shocked at the block notice received in respect of my notifications sent to top contributors who participated in the EmpowerHer Editathon within the Anglophone community via their talk pages, which is one of the On-wiki communication channels. As I do not intend in any way to disrupt Wiki. I have coordinated with this campaign with the support of experienced Francophone and Anglophone Wikimedians such as Ibjaja05, Manouka, Aboubacarkhoraa. My intention was to reach out to the participants to enable them receive their prizes for the Campaign they had participated and I could only access them via their talkpages.Bukky658 (talk) 19:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Really? And those experienced users, and yourself, decided it was ok to ask users to give you, specifically, their personal information, including where they work? That's difficult to believe. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 19:09, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Bukky, I think there is a decent chance this was a good-faith, but poorly-executed, plan. I'm not offering to unilaterally unblock you because I am not quite sure I know what is going on, but this might be useful for admins to decide: if you're unblocked, could you assure us that you won't make those requests for personal info on-wiki again? And then we can discuss what went wrong at WP:ANI? --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:17, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks for the kind consideration Floquenbeam. I just discovered that my intention was to send via Special Email User but I got it all mixed up by sending it via their talk pages directly. I am now aware of how I had poorly executed this by requesting that they send me their contact details via my official email address as contained in my earlier messages sent to their talk pages, even with the assurance that the requested information will be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of prize distribution as requested by my Finance Department. Kindly accept this as my assurance to be more careful next time having learnt from this experience. Bukky658 (talk) 19:36, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmmm. I guess my concern is, can you see the perspective of someone who doesn't know you, that this looks exactly like a phishing attempt would look, even if it isn't? Why would you need to know where they work, for example? Floquenbeam (talk) 19:38, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The information I had intended to collect was about their occupation so as to help identify the fields to which the top contributors belong and not to invade their work life privacy. This is part of our in house community analysis to better understand which other campaigns would interest them and how to sustain their engagments in Wiki activities as part of our goals. Other details mention such as their full name, address, and country was solely for the purpose of processing their prizes and will be discarded upon their confirmation of receiving it.

  As users on Wikipedia are based in the EU, can you confirm how exactly the prize draw complies with the General Data Protection Regulations? Qcne (talk) 19:47, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Just Step Sideways Thank you for keeping the Wikipedia space safe. I think it is a little bit of mix-up from @Bukky658 side. The plan was to reach out to them via email for the prize distribution but she ended up flooding their page. On the issue of where they work, it was part of the information requested from where she currently interns as WIR, another mix up that should have been addressed because Wikipedia is not like any other platforms where you can just requested for personal details. In summary, I believe it was a a great mistake commited with good faith, @Bukky658 wouldn't have done it if she knew she would be breaking policies. She has been an active Community organisers and has supported different people to be active Wikimedia editors. I believe she has learnt her lesson and she would not repeat it again if she is unblocked. Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:51, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
