Do feel free to have a WikiProject
Hi. Welcome. Do feel that anything that you are doing in that coordination space is able to be in the WikiProjects space. It has a broad scope to cover any sort of coordinated transcription or organisational aspects. — billinghurst  sDrewth  02:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright I'll move it. I was sorta worried that it wasn't ready in some way. Thank you for the help.MJL (talk) 02:09, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Category:Politics of the United States/Carl Schurz
We don't create category subdirectories like that. Nor do we categorize by author.

Author pages are used to list works according to author. Or, if a set of pages are about that author, we have a section of the Author page set aside for that. If the person who is a subject is not an author, and won't have an Author page, then we use a Portal.

Our policy is to delete categories that group by author, since they are not needed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:21, 23 December 2017 (UTC)


 * What are the alternatives to this category? Should it go in a portal? Without it, Category:Politics of the United States gets flooded with more than 150 articles that really should be grouped together. Any suggestions to alleviate that to help readers find more diverse articles? Thank you. MJL (talk) 22:27, 23 December 2017 (UTC)


 * We don't worry about "flooding" categories. As I said, we list articles on Author pages and Portals as an organized way to present complex topics. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:05, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

footer text
You moved this text out of the footer, which will cause the word to be duplicated. The word was in the footer because older texts would often duplicate the first word of the next page at the bottom of the preceding page, to make oral presentation easier.

That word should remain in the footer. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:09, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for fixing that embarrassing error on my part. I'm still trying to get the hang of a lot of things. I really appreciate the help a lot; I just have a lot to learn. MJL (talk) 03:11, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

US legislation...
I was sure English Wikisource had a set of templates for these to add "anchor"s and indentation for these. I would suggest asking on the Scriptorum. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:43, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

WS:WPV assitance
Would you mind helping to validate this work? The assistance of the WikiProject has been requested, and you are as of current the only other participant. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 11:08, 12 October 2018 (UTC).
 * My apologies for not helping before. I am not back to being active on the project! &#8213; MJL -Talk-☖  19:47, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Mistake
Hi,

I do apologize, I wanted to adjust letter spacing at Page:Bohemia An Historical Sketch.djvu/6 and by mistake I edited an old version of the page and thus the validation was removed. Can you validate it again, please?

Thank you very much!

Ligatures
Hi, we decided a few years back not to reproduce the typographical ligatures such as the "ct". They add no value and break searches. The other main two that people try to reproduce are "fi" and "fl". Which means that the only two still accepted are æ and œ. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 20:48, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

User:MJL/UN header
While it's fine to create User space tools to make edits easier, links to user-space working materials should not be left in pages once they have been proofread. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:26, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the notice. Is the solution to substitute it or move it to template-space? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 22:28, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Either solution would be fine. Subst'ing is preferred unless the same header construction is to be used across a large number of works. If the formatting is unique to only a few pages of a single document, then creating a permanent template would not be worthwhile. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:30, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

User link
My two cents is that it is better to leave ul pointing to underline, because the community has little need for Template:User link. We've functioned for more than a decade without it. Having a two-letter shortcut for a template that is practically unused in this community doesn't seem worthwhile. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:46, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I just would like an alternative to Reply to for pinging users in the middle of a sentence. I don't like the "@" and ":" appearing there, and there is no way to suppress it. I also think the one-letter u is more than sufficient for underline. I can't imagine why a shortcut only used 10 times on this platform (ul) is really needed in that regard. We have re and that's been used a total of 59 times. ping was used 873 times. I'm not even going to try and count how many total times Reply to was used. It's up there. In case you are concerned this, I will also assure you that this is not about making us more like Wikipedia. If that was the case, I'd be arguing to make u point to user link like it does there. I understand underline is more valuable than user link for our purposes (we use it a lot). I just don't think it should monopolize the secondary shortcut that it doesn't even list in it's own documentation. To each their own, I guess. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 21:51, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * If you feel otherwise, I will respect that and nominate UL for deletion myself . &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 21:52, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion about keeping or deleting the template; I merely see little point in having it. I see much less of a need to re-dedicate redirects for a template that has (thus far) been used by a single individual. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:56, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
 * You're probably right. I've just made ul2 (three characters instead). My personal convenience is probably not worth wasting other people's time discussing. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 22:14, 27 March 2019 (UTC)

Works categories aren't done here
Hi, Please stop the Caledonian poetry category. We don't do categories for works. See Help:Categorization for more. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:03, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , I swear everytime I think I understand the categorization system... Let me fix that. Just so I am clear, the right categories to add for these works are Category:Early modern poetry, Category:Scots poems, and Category:PD-old, correct? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 03:06, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * You don't need to add Category:PD-old. That will be added automatically by the license template, and the license template should only be placed on the primary page of a work. "Scots poems" should be added only if the work is a poem written in the Scots language. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:18, 2 April 2019 (UTC)


 * A good rule of thumb for adding categories: add a category for the:
 * (a) form (novel, poem, speech, play) or a form subcategory (historical novel, love poetry),
 * (b) period (modern, renaissance) or form/period category (Renaissance poetry, Modern fiction)
 * (c) language or language subcategory (Greek literature, English poetry, works originally in French)
 * (d) topic of a non-fiction work, or genre of a fictional work
 * Nearly all categories on Wikisource fall into one or more of these. Only a few categories do not (such as book awards). --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:25, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I just need to go back and remove all instances of the redlinked Category:The Merry Muses of Caledonia and replace it with Category:Early modern poetry and Category:Scots poems (the latter as applicable). I think I can do that! Let me know if I am being too much of a problem, Petey. I don't want to waste your (or anyone else's) time. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 03:31, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

welcoming
On Wikisource, we usually do not subst the welcome template. That way, if changes made in the template, then the changes are propagated to all locations where the template was used. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I was just following the documentation which allows for the use of . I personally prefer it, but if that is a rule then I will follow it. I just request you update the documentation, so other contributors aren't mistaken in the future. &#8211;  MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 05:35, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Gotcha! :D &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 20:56, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Header templates
Category:Header templates is a subcategory of Category:Article templates, meaning that the category is only for templates used in articles, not other sorts of headers. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * shouldn't we remove Template:Process header then? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 17:22, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Probably. There is likely quite a lot to be cleaned up in these categories. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:26, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Notes on Czech Politics
Hi. May I ask where you saw the book Notes on Czech Politics, which you have mentioned at Author:Karel Kramář? I would be happy to transcribe it but I failed to find it anywhere. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:06, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry, only now I noticed that you are suggesting to translate the Czech book... --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , why certainly! I found it while viewing Poznámky o české politice. Czech Wikisource had in turn found this copy. If you would like to translate it (which I sort of expected you would haha), you'll probably want to follow our these proposed translation guidelines. Hope that helps!

The file you've created is a duplicate
The file you've created is a duplicate of Index:Landon in The New Monthly 1837.pdf --kathleen wright5 (talk) 13:46, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for calling this to my attention. I can't remember creating this file, and I would like to point out that Special:Diff/7092393 and Special:Diff/7092240 show the same user created both index pages (maybe you already took care of this file? I'm not sure exactly because you didn't link to it, and I can't remember as said previously :/). I do see I created Page:New Monthly 1837.pdf/1, Page:New Monthly 1837.pdf/2, and Page:New Monthly 1837.pdf/3 while apparently not noticing the existence of Index:Landon in The New Monthly 1837.pdf. Would you be so kind as to redirect Index:New Monthly 1837.pdf to Index:Landon in The New Monthly 1837.pdf as well as its subpages? I'd also prefer Page:New Monthly 1837.pdf/3 have its history merged with Page:Landon in The New Monthly 1837.pdf/3 and be made the current revision, but we can discuss more about that later if you disagree. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 22:50, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

 * If that's the case, we could delete the frivolous index to Esme's choice, but I do want to repeat that I would prefer Page:New Monthly 1837.pdf/3 to be kept even as a redirect as my preference over Page:Landon in The New Monthly 1837.pdf/3. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 16:20, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Unlike how the Signpost is run, WS:News related pages aren't supposed to be treated different than any other project pages. Anything that needs to be changed in the article, should be changed without issue. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 06:36, 5 July 2019 (UTC) Between you and me (and whoever reads this, I guess), one of the major reasons I didn't put out a newsletter last month was the dispute at EncycloPetey's admin confirmation as well as me feeling conflicted on how best to cover Dmitrismirnov's then-upcoming confirmation. I really don't like seeing drama here (this is actually my safeplace away from enwiki stuff because incivility and harassment aren't as common here- just thinking about some of the stuff I deal with editing enwiki kinda makes me tear up... I'm almost numb to it now.. ) If you look at the page history, I started it on 1 July 2019‎, the added content on a day later then went silent. I figured that someone (like yourself) would object to it before publication if it was objectionable. It still isn't too late to swap out the article if you want (I seriously wouldn't be hurt by it if you did since it's so barebones anyways-- It's goal mostly to inform that our sister publication was going through a mess right now which could impact WMF coverage). Thank you for the kind words, though! If you really feel like it's a worthwhile effort, please consider adding yourself as a subscriber. If WP:News gets more, I'll be able to request global mass messenger rights for myself and take this to an international readerbase (which was Dovi's original intention for it). &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 18:03, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * On that last one... Please don't import enwp drama here. The Signpost is in hot water because what Smallbones wrote was a tabloid hit piece based on anonymous allegations (and fairly uncritically too), and it is problematic completely irrespective of whether Fram is guilty of the things they've been accused of or not. Bri's discussion report was neutrally written and addressed the wider constitutional issue at conflict between WMF and the communities, and is relevant on other projects (i.e. here). But Smallbones' lack of perspective only seems important because you're involved in The Signpost on enwp; and Fram hasn't edited on enws since 2010 so their behaviour (or lack of such) is completely irrelevant here. --Xover (talk) 06:23, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I had no intention of bringing over the drama from there to here (I genuinely prefer the fact we don't have drama for the most part). As I said in my statement to arbcom after WS:News was published, I fully agree to what Headbomb had to say on the matter (and personally, I wouldn't publish the story). Since generally, WS:News relies on the Signpost for most of its coverage of WMF related matters, I kind of thought this would be the rare time it need to publish a piece related to enwiki.
 * My point was that the details of Fram's case or the drama surrounding that The Signpost article are mostly enwp-internal matters, or "inside baseball" for those working on such publications. The bit that has cross-project significance is the new policies and practices at the WMF; the conflict between the WMF and the wider community; and what that will mean for enWS going forward. But all that is contained in the single sentence . The rest of it is squarely focussed on the parts of the issue that are not relevant to enWS and which run the risk of importing their drama.My suggestion would have actually been to import Bri's discussion report wholesale: it is focussed on the wider issue, and it presents an overview of it that is dispassionate and neutral. Prefix or suffix it with a para or so that puts it into an enWS context ("What does this mean for enWS?". It's possible enWS would welcome such intervention from WMF/T&S due to the differences between enWS and enwp), but on the whole it's a good summary of the state of play. Which reminds me, I need to hop on over and give Bri kudos for it. By the way, since I'm ragging on you so much for this one article; let me make sure I say that I really appreciate the effort you put in reanimating Wikisource:News. I see it as important community building, and I definitely appreciate the amount of effort it takes to keep it going more or less single-handedly!

 * No worries! I really welcome the feedback.
 * Yeah, my increased participation here is most definitely due to being fed up with the dysfunction over there. Not so much typical incivility and harassment, but confrontational, underhanded, and arrogant behaviours that are incredibly demoralising and tiring over time. I see we have our share of dysfunction here too, but it's more of the avoidance and hoping it'll go away variety, which leads to much less intense and less sustained drama. Oh well… No community is perfect, and enws is practically paradise compared to the post-apocalyptic wasteland that enwp resembles at times.I don't think it would be appropriate to alter the newsletter like that after it's been published. I just wanted to give you the feedback for the future (and, it must be admitted, I am a little touchy on this after the Smallbones article). I'd be happy to advise where I can, of course, but as my inclinations are in completely different directions I'll read the newsletter once published rather than watch it in draft. I'll certainly subscribe if it matters: I haven't done so because I see it at WS:S anyway, not because I'm not interested.I'm not sure I think the community(-ies) is large enough and with enough common interest that a newsletter is sustainable. On enws there's not really enough happening to fill a monthly newsletter, and if we can't get more volunteers… well, it's not sustainable if we're dependent on a single person. But I hope I'm wrong because I need a newsletter to keep updated, and because it can help build community (which The Signpost does admirably when it's at its best), and recruit and onboard new contributors. enWS is particularly prone to contributors working off in their own little walled gardens with little or no innteraction with others. I was frankly shocked when I noticed the total number of edits and editors, compared to the five or so names that ever contribute to the noticeboards and Scriptorium. Anything that could bring those closer together would make us stronger as a community. --Xover (talk) 18:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Wait, how many active editors do we have outside of the noticeboards?? I thought we only have like 10 active editors. :? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 21:38, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope. It depends on what your definition is, but using Mediawiki's definition, all 327 of these users have performed an action in the last 30 days. If you watch Special:RecentChanges you'll also see a lot of activity from editors that never or only rarely show up on the community pages. Meanwhile, I'm tearing my hair out over the lack of participation on the Scriptorium, Proposed deletions, etc.. I don't think I agree with Kaldari's curly quotes proposal (haven't had time to think through it yet), but I'm really glad they made it: it's something that should be discussed every now and again, and it seems to be drawing out some extra participation. Not least because a vibrant and active community is the best way to recruit more new contributors. --Xover (talk) 08:12, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Well, Today I learned... I better get more active! lol &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 23:36, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Hi, MJL! In the admin confirmations secton of the newsletter, you (?) write that Zhaladshar has had activity in the multilingual Wikisource this year. However, the diff points to an edit made by Zyephyrus, not Zhaladshar, and I can't see anything suggesting that the two are the same user. It seems Zhaladshar hasn't had any edits in the multilingual Wikisource for 10+ years. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 06:35, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

"Jahrhundert" is a valid word, "Jahrkundert" is not; marking "Proofread" page as "Not proofread"
Hi, I saw your edit on Page:EB1911 - Volume 03.djvu/485, is there a reason why you substituted the valid German word "Jahrhundert" for the incorrect "Jahrkundert"? A simple Google search would reveal the former is the German word for a century (100 years). There are more than 67 million Google hits for "Jahrhundert" and less than 1200 for the incorrect "Jahrkundert" you used. You can see a high-resolution image of the page in question at which clearly shows "Jahrhundert". I've now edited the page to fix it.

Also, why did you mark the previously Proofread Page:EB1911 - Volume 12.djvu/917 as Not proofread? Why did you remove line-breaks? Removing line-breaks makes proofing much more difficult, so can you please not remove them in future. It also makes it difficult to see what changes you made to that page. It appears you just changed a section tag on the page, why? — DivermanAU (talk) 21:24, 25 November 2019 (UTC) As for your second question, I have no honest clue why I made that specific edit 7 months ago. I was new and clueless. I will say though, that the line breaks may be helpful for you; I find it rather irritating during the transclusion process and remove them for texts I'm transcluding. That's what I was trying to do with 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Hamilton (Scotland) at least. I still find line breaks to be annoying, and I don't plan on keeping them for texts I am personally proofreading. However, I will respect line breaks where they are already found in the future such as pages you may contribute to. &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 04:49, 26 November 2019 (UTC) My apologies about that. :/ &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 23:38, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The page itself uses the incorrect "Jahrkundert" which is why I changed it. The image you link to is from another copy of the text without that typo, so it doesn't really carry any weight with what our text says. I suggest you change it back and simply use SIC to convey the intended meaning.
 * Hi MJL, thanks for your response. I took another look at Page:EB1911 - Volume 03.djvu/485 — it definitely looks like there are two "h"s in "Jahrhundert" in the Wikisource scan to me. Both "h"s have a clear gap between the two uprights. Compare to a real italic "k" e.g. in "blockade" on Page:EB1911 - Volume 04.djvu/86 (2nd-last paragraph, left column) the italic "k" has a definite closed loop and 45° angled stroke down from the upright; compare to the italic "h" in "the" in the same paragraph which has a gap between the uprights. DivermanAU (talk) 06:41, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Alright, I took a second look at it by zooming in on this, and I guess my eyes were playing tricks on me.

A question about folksongs
hello, I left a message at what I thought was a Scots project but there has been no answer. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource_talk:WikiProject_Scots The question is also about adding entries to Scots Wiktionary. These seem like they would be fairly routine tasks that anyone could do once they understood the system, but I am not seeing how things are organized. Janni Rye (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:35, 9 February 2021‎ (UTC)
 * Hey! Sorry for not seeing your message sooner. For complicated reasons unrelated to the language status of Scots, English Wikisource is the home Scots language works. However, this is currently copyrighted material. Therefore, it could not be used on this exact project, but that does not mean it couldn't be sourced for Scots Wiktionar. Some folks are indeed working on it, and I would be happy to get you in touch with them if you are interested. &#8211;<span style="font-family:CG Times, times"> MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 03:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes, please do. It seems odd to have Scots at English Wiktionary, or for that matter, English Wikisource. Maybe that is why I cannot seem to find it with search engines.

It also seems odd for folk lyrics to be copyrighted. yes I saw the ©1961 at the top of the page, but what is really being copyrighted here? Is it just the page, or the lyrics and music, or that particular arrangement or recording? I tried to find something about it here, which says copyright does not "protect traditional Indigenous music or lyrics" https://www.artslaw.com.au/information-sheet/copyright-in-music-and-lyrics-aitb/ (this is from Australia) and this one where it says it "must be an original work" which obviously a folk song is not. https://blog.reverbnation.com/2018/04/25/music-law-101-what-does-copyright-law-protect/ So according to this last one, maybe only the sound recording is protected. But I don't want to work on something and then find out later there was some snag.

I also found this from several years ago. https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wt/sco/Main_Page Cheers, Janni Rye (talk) 04:58, 9 February 2021 (UTC) Either way, the community of people I mentioned can be found on this Discord server. As for the copyright concerns, I will have to inquire with some folks elsewhere about that. I'm not exactly sure in this case. &#8211;<span style="font-family:CG Times, times"> MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 05:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Actually, Scots Wiktionary is on Scots Wikipedia while Scots Wikisource is on English Wikisource.. I realise that is probably confusing, but it is the situation that currently exists.
 * I can't seem to download it, "local directory is corrupt". Doesn't sound good. This is odd, the incubator version has 424 pages https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wt/sco/Main_Page and the Scots Wikipedia version has 22 pages https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Define:Main_Page. I wonder if they have a translation for https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Department_of_Redundancy_Department All joking aside, I wonder if it can be linked, as that user from seven years ago wanted to do.  Janni Rye (talk) 05:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I just peeked at a couple of entries, and none of them seem to be sourced. Not one, in either Wiktionary. And then there are entries like this that seem to have broken templates. https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/Define:Donde Surely there are sources for these, and etymologies too. Janni Rye (talk) 06:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a work and progress on the dictionary front. As for Discord, you shouldn't need to download anything if you are on a personal computer. &#8211;<span style="font-family:CG Times, times"> MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 06:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry but it just gives me a poop emoji and says the invitation is no longer valid. I did see something that looked like avatars at first, and there was a banner at the top that recommended the desktop version. FWIW I do seem to have a clean download of the desktop version now, so maybe whatever was holding it back is fixed. Looking again at this Scots Wiktionary, the "22 entries" seem to be categories. Why does a Scots dictionary need a category for Maori, a New Zealand language? I cannot make out the organization at all. And yet this dictionary would seem to be a basic building block if you want to work with the language at all. There does seem to be quite a bit of sourcing available that is also in the public domain, so reliable sources should not be a problem for a basic glossary, but it looks to me like the Wiktionary has the same problem as the Scots Wikipedia, a huge amount of incorrect or undocumented information has been added, that needs to be cleaned up, or at least marked as unchecked, before anything else can be done. I was hoping to be able to add a few items, one at a time, whenever I had a few spare moments, but it seems like the problem of how the data is structured needs to be addressed first. Are you pretty much the only admin, or active member at this point?  Janni Rye (talk) 03:01, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

disambiguation
Hi. It is not appropriate to move an existing version of a document and to replace it with another different document. We disambiguate from the simplest form (it becomes the disambig page), and name appropriately after that per Constitution of Haïti.

Translations are available.

The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!

The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.

The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.

Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.

The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict. Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?

We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support.
