Feedback on movement names

edit

Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. Thank you!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 19:52, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

I signed the letter and made a comment at Wikivoyage. Thanks to those who took the time to write this letter and sign it. SelfieCity (discusscontribs) 14:17, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Acting

edit

What subjects do I need for acting? What age can you start acting?

Your IP address is from South Africa. University of Cape Town seems to be the highest rated college there. See [1] for a list of performing arts degrees and requirements. In my experience, age is less of an issue in acting than connections or opportunities are. The fewer connections you have, the more education you'll need to make up the difference. -- Dave Braunschweig (discusscontribs) 00:56, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
