Re: [Wikimedia-l] Thank you and farewell
I am very sad to see you leave, Sati. Your absence will be a net loss for the Foundation, but knowing that it has enabled you to grow, with all the growing pains hat growth entails, is consoling. I hope your new course takes you closer to fulfilling your dreams. See you on the dance floor, somewhere out there!!! Big hugs and warm wishes for the best, K.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Kevin Gorman has passed away
Of little interest perhaps, but Kevin's profile appeared on my LinkedIn's "People you may know" page (as did another recently deceased ex-WMF staffer's). I reached out to LinkedIn directly, filling in their deceased members form so that remove or mark the profile as deceased (different networks handle this type of request differently). From past experience, often the family of the deceased is too overwhelmed to deal with their loved one's online profiles and are grateful if others 'take care' of that. Something to consider if you come across other online profiles of Kevin. K.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Facebook updates "community standards" for a "diverse global community"
I agree that mass removal of photos depicting full-nudity statues (and in some cases erotic scenes, including intercourse[1]) or paintings of undisputed historical significance would be more harmful than useful and our policy should be inclusive of such material. Given the different (:educational) context of Commons from that of Facebook's, I think adopting their policy 'as is' would not best serve our community. It can, however, serve as an inspirational starting point that we can build upon and adjust, to suit Commons' purpose and mission. K.
