So Based on the the Archives Jesse and Casey graciously provided the link to, the only discussion about Masry I found was:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee/Archives/2008-07#Wikipedia_Egyptian_Arabic When I raised the issue of Masry on this mailing list, raising what I thought was valid concerns, and at the same times others were raising such concerns on meta, Gerard's response was, and I quote: I have indicated that the language > committee was unanimous in deciding that the Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia > request was eligible. > As indicated earlier, all members of the language > committee were explicitly asked to consider the issue that you raise. The > consequence of this is that in my opinion you refuse people the freedom to > work on a project in their language, languages that are eligible under the > language policy of the WMF. > > Per above link, I see a discussion only between two members (Gerard and Jon). I am pretty confused how did that constitute a 'unanimous decision'. Wouldn't that be a gross mis-characterization? Wouldn't refusal to point me to archived discussion *then* mis-characterizing what really happened on the list be grounds for some kind of audit? Forgive me If I am wrong, but that is the only information I have to work on, if I am wrong, I apologize to Gerard.
