He must have been talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ANickj%2Fopen-wikiblogplanet-config.ini&action=historysubmit&diff=330197740&oldid=325150787 John Vandenberg removed David Shankbone's blog, with the comment "remove Shankbone's blog; feel free to add if it can be filtered to exclude posts that attack BLPs". For what it's worth, I agree with David Gerard that Open Wiki Blog Planet is not properly subject to Wikipedia policies; David Shankbone and other bloggers have a responsibility to own their own words and deal with any consequences, but (unlike Planet Wikimedia, perhaps) I don't see any formal connection between Wikipedia and the aggregator except that the feed list happens to be hosted on en.wp. -Sage _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
