Re: [WikiEN-l] Future of this mailing list
The moderators of Wikimedia-l would need to agree to that. En-specific stuff would be off-topic there. Could someone cross-post this there if that is allowed? Also best to wait for one of the moderators here to weigh in.

Re: [WikiEN-l] Future of this mailing list
I kinda like the separation between cross-project and cross-language issues on Wikimedia-L and the discussion about English Wikipedia, but if nobody is interested in the existence of this list, I won't be very sad if it shut down. I'd shut down Wikipedia-L first, however - that one is really dead, except occasional people who pop in by mistake every few months. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Re: [WikiEN-l] Fwd: please cease and desist from unsolicited subscriptions
Sounds like a group intended for people with an axe to grind regarding Wikipedia. I would pay it no mind. You also might consider setting your Google Groups profile to not allow admins to add you to groups without your say so.
