Nathan makes a good point. It was the main reason I brought it up here, so
the staff and the rest of the community know.

It might be a few hours till WMF staff would be able to comment. But this is
a political protest, if the Italian community does indeed wish to go through
with it, I hope they get in touch with WMF first and remain in contact with
the rest of the community through it.
