Thanks for this. 

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one dismayed by the unilateralism and lack of 
transparency.

[Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

2019-06-10 Thread Techman224 
Forwarding to WIkimedia-l since WikiEN-l is relatively dead.

Since this message, an Arbcom member (SilkTork) stated that they weren't 
consulted, nor did this action was the result of Arbcom forwarding a concern to 
the office. [1]

The only non-response excuse from the WMF [2] was that "local communities 
consistently struggle to uphold not just their own autonomous rules but the 
Terms of Use, too.” even though there were no complaints on-wiki nor to Arbcom 
privately.

The on-wiki discussion is taking place at the Bureaucrats and the Arbcom 
noticeboards.
