Most importantly, you are a manger :P There is a line between protecting autonomy of particular community and protecting the whole: * When community around Arabic Wikipedia doesn't want to show Muhammad depictions, that's their right. * When community around Aceh Wikipedia wants to delete all Muhammad depictions from Commons, that's not their right. * When a person wants to remove whichever images from his or her Wikipedia interface, that's his or her right. * When implementation of that feature affects everybody, that's not his or her right. Without solutions like "safe.en.wikipedia.org", I confess that I don't know how that should be solved. However, as successful manager, I am sure that you'll find a solution. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
