是啊，写这种信的确不容易。我觉得有几个方面可以加强：

1. 自我介绍：让对方了解维基百科及维基媒体的目标、成就及作用（包括社会、文化、经济等作用），中文年会的目的及作用（促进中文维基媒体继续成长及扩展）；
2. 引起同感：将我们的努力与对方的境遇、感受、需求、利益等连系起来；
3. 指出回报：对方给予赞助，除了支持我们的重要事业，还能够得到哪些立竿见影的回报（如广告等）；
4. 我个人认为，可以提供会议议程（program），但不一定要给出预算表（或可以给一部分，不一定把全部预算情况给出）。

我在Rockli的基础上，大体乱修补了一些，肯定还有很多需要改进之处（其实我也不确定这个文章的结构是否得当，比如起头的介绍是否太长，或者有失重点、不一定引起同感），所以请大家能够帮助继续修正或抛弃重写。另外，一些拼字是美国拼法，可能要改成香港的英文规范。 --roc (talk) 19:51 2006年4月30日 (UTC)

Re: Solicitation of Sponsorship for the Chinese Wikimedia Conference 2006

Dear Mr./Ms./Dr. XXX, (choose one title; if recipient is not defined, use Dear Sir/Madam, or To Whom It May Concern,)

Knowledge is power, and knowledge should be free. This is what Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and other Wikimedia projects are working on every day. We believe that free and high-quality knowledge is a driving force for the social and economical development and every one of us will benefit from it, both intellectually and economically. Thank to the hard work of numerous volunteers in the past five years, both the English and Chinese Wikipedia have grown into the largest online encyclopedias. Last December, a Nature investigation found that Wikipedia is not worse than Britannica. This May, BBC Focus magazine rated Wikipedia the best encyclopedia when comparing Britannica, Encarta, Infoplease, and Wikipedia.

In order to further publicize and promote the development of Chinese Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects in the Chinese areas, the Chinese community of Wikimedia is organizing its First Chinese Wikimedia Conference (CWMC 2006). The Conference will be held on 26th and 27th August, 2006 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Mr. Jimmy Wales, Founder and Chairman of Wikimedia Foundation, is going to attend the conference, and we anticipate an adequate amount of media coverage, both locally and internationally.

As Chair of the Hong Kong Working Team for the CWMC 2006, I am writing to ask for your generous help and financial support. We need to raise over HK$xxxxx to cover the cost of this conference, for example, travel cost of invited speakers/lecturers, and printed materials for education and promotion. In appreciation, your company's name will be prominently acknowledged in the CWMC 2006 conference rooms, program, and publications. As a sponsor, you are not only going to aid our mission and efforts, but also going to reach an affluent group of potential consumers, both in Hong Kong and internationally.

Our success depends upon the support and generosity of companies like yours (or your support and generosity), and we would be extremely grateful for your assistance. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact me, Chair of the Hong Kong Working Team, at 9582 5791 or Mr. Angus Lai, Treasurer for CWMC 2006, at xxxx xxxx. We look forward to your favorable reply and help.

Thank you in advance for your contribution and support!

Yours sincerely,

跟赞助人在拉赞助信讲银码为大忌，太详细反而对我们不利，简单地说希望他们赞助，
他们不大了解,便会联络我们询问详细资料，有了进一步沟通,回报可能更大--RockLi 11:38 2006年5月1日 (UTC)

邀请信初稿(By 仁心文术)

Dear Mr./Ms./Dr. XXX,

Re: Solicitation of Sponsorship for the Chinese Wikimedia Conference 2006(CWMC 2006)

As the Chairperson of the Hong Kong working Team, CWMC 2006, I am writing to request for your generous help and financial support for the Chinese Wikimedia Conference 2006(CWMC 2006).

Knowledge is power, and knowledge should be free. This is what Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia, and other Wikimedia projects are working on every day. Thanking to the hard work of numerous volunteers in the past five years, both the English and Chinese Wikipedia have grown into the largest online encyclopaedias. On May 2006, BBC Focus magazine rated Wikipedia the best encyclopaedia when comparing with Britannica, Encarta, Infoplease, and Wikipedia.

To further publicize and promote the development of Chinese Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects in the Chinese areas, the Chinese community of Wikimedia is organizing its First Chinese Wikimedia Conference (CWMC 2006). The Conference will be held on 26th and 27th August 2006 at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Mr. Jimmy Wales, Founder and Chairman of Wikimedia Foundation, is going to attend the conference, and we anticipate an adequate amount of media coverage, both locally and internationally.

We need to raise money for various areas, for example, travel cost of invited speakers/lecturers, and printed materials for both education and promotion. For the mean of sponsorship, we may discuss further in the future time. In appreciation, your company's name will be prominently acknowledged in the CWMC 2006 conference rooms, program, and publications.

As a sponsor, you will benefits a lot. Firstly, You are not only going to aid our mission and efforts, but also going to reach an affluent group of potential consumers, both in Hong Kong and internationally. Secondly, it can upgrade and enhance the good image of your company, which is very important for every well-established company. Last but not least, the amount is in fact very small when comparing with the traditional promotional plan, but sponsoring CWMC will have a much better effect.

(As our committee know, your company has been giving sponsorship to various clubs and societies of the universities. We hope you can continue your kindness to support these kind of academic activities.) Our success depends upon the support and generosity of companies, and we would be extremely grateful for your assistance. Should you have any inquiries, please feel free to contact me, Chair of the Hong Kong Working Team, at xxxxxxxx or Mr. Angus Lai, Treasurer for CWMC 2006, at xxxx xxxx. We are looking forward to your favourable reply and help.

Thank you in advance for your contribution and support!

Yours sincerely,

_____________ Lo Wing Ki Chair of the Hong Kong Working Team Chinese Wikimedia Conference 2006

Rockli作为SSU的文书，坦白讲，实令我有些失望。他所写的太没有说服力了，根本没有给予原因，而且也太短，别人根本不会理会我们。ROC的那篇很好，只是我希望可以加多一些point。仁心文术 15:53 2006年5月1日 (UTC)
先多谢你的意见。
仁心文术作为香港工作小组成员，坦白讲，实令我有些失望。中学生联盟(ssu)与本年会完全无关，但他经常把那个中学生联盟和本年会混为一谈，究竟他知不知道这是2006中文维基年会，不是中学生联盟？
另外，请修改一下以上信函的格式。--RockLi 08:45 2006年5月2日 (UTC)

• 几点意见：
  1. 书信标题建议不要用solicit（兜搭），感觉是贬义词，妓女兜搭客人就是用solicit的。Request或Invitation to...都比较好吧。
  2. 感谢帮忙书写的各位同事。仁同学增添的内容很不错，但好些英语文法要修改。以第二段为例：Thanking to 改Thanks to； Grown into the 改 Grown to become the； On May 改 In May；rated Wikipedia the best改rated Wikipedia as the best；…… 如果需要检查文法，请跟我联络！ -- tonync (talk) 12:19 2006年5月5日 (UTC)

议事规则

如本议事规则在工作小组上运用良好，可供他日香港维基媒体协会成立后作参考用。--助理编辑encyclopedist (对话页) 19:43 2006年4月10日 (UTC)

会议主席

1. 工作小组的两名负责人为会议主席。
2. 会议主席一职由两位负责人轮流担任。(如第一次会议主席为负责人A，第二次会议主席为负责人B，如此类推。)
3. 如工作小组的两名负责人同时缺席会议，将由当时与会组员中，以简单多数票方式互选一名组员为会议主席。
4. 根据第(3)款所选出的会议主席，其权力将与负责人相同。

第(2)款为新增，大家看看有没有问题--RockLi 16:15 2006年4月11日 (UTC)

明白轮流会议比较公平，不过Chpapa经常没空，特别是星期六。^o^Stewart~恶龙－＞讲！ 16:34 2006年4月11日 (UTC)

另外,可以考虑加上如会议主席不能抽空出席，可以指派一名成员临时担任，省却投票时间。^o^Stewart~恶龙－＞讲！ 16:34 2006年4月11日 (UTC)

表决规程

1. 会议主席宣布“表决开始”后，即表示表决程序将进行，所有发言都应该待会议主席宣布“表决结束”后才进行。
2. 会议主席须先请赞成该议题的组员示意赞成，继而请反对该议题的组员示意反对。没有任何示意的情况作弃权论。
3. 所有经表决的议案，均须获得出席会议的组员的过半数票，方为通过。
4. 若表决赞成某议案的组员多于在进行表决时在席组员的半数，议题即获得过半数票。
5. 组员可于会议主席宣布“表决开始”内半分钟，提出记名表决。（记名表决意思为投票之组员名字及其表决立场将刊载于会议记录内。）
6. 在任何表决中，除第(7)款所指明的情况外，会议主席均无须投票。
7. 表决后，如赞成票及反对票数目相同，会议主席得投决定性之一票。
8. 主席如根据第(7)款所指明而投弃权票，则有关议题将提交筹备委员会会议上表决。

第(5)款为新增，大家看看有没有问题--RockLi 11:04 2006年4月12日 (UTC)

• 有关建议已获采用。--助理编辑encyclopedist (对话页) 20:39 2006年4月12日 (UTC)
  • “记名表决”有什么实际意义?! 我觉得很麻烦...要表决的事这么多...另外，我亦有保存一切的会议存档方便翻查。因此认为不应强制需要。　Stewart~恶龙 05:00 2006年5月30日 (UTC)

争议性地方

请各组员特别留意以下几项有争议的地方，对日后小组会议运作是否畅顺有深远影响：

• 会议法定人数为不少于全体组员的三分之一，包括会议小组主席在内，是否太紧或太松。需要提高或减低法定人数？
• 所有经表决的议题，包括以维基页面传阅方式表决，均须获得出席会议的组员的过半数票，方为通过，是否恰当？简单多数票方式会否比较恰当？

请各组员提出宝贵意见。--助理编辑encyclopedist (对话页) 17:59 2006年4月11日 (UTC)

现时工作小组有37名成员...3份1都出席是不可能的，就以忙于考试的学生已经不少。建议人数方面只要符合全体组员的四分之一或最少8人（或6人）就好，另外希望给予会议主席决定是否坚持继续会议的权力。^o^Stewart~恶龙－＞讲！ 18:23 2006年4月11日 (UTC)
