Ukubhala i-Wikimania kuwumsebenzi obalulekile, futhi ama-Wikimedian anesifiso esingokwemvelo sokubhala phansi umhlaba obazungezile. Kodwa uma sihlangana njengozakwethu, kubalulekile futhi ukubona izidingo zobumfihlo zabanye abantu be-Wikimedian.

Lo mgomo usebenza kubani:

Inqubomgomo engezansi iyasebenza kwabahambela mathupha e-Wikimania.

Kwabahambele umcimbi obonakalayo sicela ugweme ukuthatha noma ukuthumela izithombe skrini ngaphandle kwemvume yomlomo yabahlanganyeli.

Inqubomgomo yesithombe ngamafuphi:

“Ngiyaqonda ukuthi abahambele umcimbi be-Wikimania banokukhetha okuhlukile uma kuziwa ekuthathweni kwezithombe. Uma ngingafuni ukuthi isithombe sami sithwetshulwe esithombeni noma kuvidiyo, ngingacela indwangu ekhethekile "akukho sithombe" lapho kubhaliswa. Uma ngigqoke i-lanyard evamile ethi "izithombe zilungile", ngiyaqonda ukuthi izithombe zami e-Wikimania zingase zivele ku-inthanethi.

Uma ngithatha izithombe noma ividiyo e-Wikimania, kufanele ngigweme ukuthwebula noma ubani ogqoke "akukho sithombe" ezithombeni zami, futhi uma othile evela kude, kufanele ngizifiphele. Ngiyaqonda futhi ukuthi kuwumkhuba ongcono kakhulu ukugwema ukuthatha izithombe lapho abantu ngokuvamile bengafuni ukuthwetshulwa khona, kanye nokucela imvume yomlomo kunoma ubani obonakala ezithombeni zami ngaphambi kokuzithumela ku-inthanethi.”

What this means in practice

• If someone is wearing the “no photography” lanyard, they do not wish to appear in any photography or video. Intentionally photographing a person wearing this lanyard without their knowledge is against the friendly-space policy of the event.
  • Certain sessions of the conference are marked as “no photography” in the program , and will be announced as such at the beginning of the session.

• Photos of crowds. If anyone wearing a “no photography” lanyard appears in a photo of a crowd (e.g. a photo of the foyer area or of people in the distance) the photographer must blur out that person in the final rendering of the photograph.
• Mindful photographing. Please be careful of photographing those with “photography is okay” lanyards in situations where people are less likely to want to be photographed. This includes while eating food or drinking, or when having a private conversation.
• Consent. It is best practice to obtain consent from identifiable people in your photo before posting online.

How to determine consent

1. Context. The person is clearly indicating they are willing to be photographed. For example:
   1. Anybody standing up for a group photo is considered to be clearly indicating they wish to be part of the photo and for it to be shared publicly with a free-license.
   2. Anybody speaking publicly on stage is considered to be clearly indicating they accept pictures/video of them presenting being made and shared on Wikimedia Commons. [Except if they are wearing the no-photo lanyard.]
2. Asking. For candid photographs of individuals or groups, it is good practice to ask for consent of anyone identifiable in the photo before uploading the photo to Commons or any other platform. Verbal approval is sufficient – you do not need a signed consent form. It is useful to specify the intended place for the photo to be posted when obtaining consent.

It is the photographer’s and videographer’s responsibility to follow these practices. Photographers and videographers contracted by the Wikimedia Foundation for Wikimania will abide by the same terms.
