Guys, I'm back on my own PC, now having replaced the power supply. I hold more to Gordon's comments; the law may have changed, and I would not have to disclose my address, but if serving in a board capacity I can see no circumstance where I'd withhold such information from a WMUK member. The board *serves* the members, and, to be honest, even if the registration requirements no longer require these details be divulged, I would argue that being prepared to give personal contact details to a member being a matter of course as far as the duties go. Unfortunately, with my PC outage (PSU died), I've no idea if I got registered as a candidate in time. I'm trying to look into that right now; I'm wanting to stand on a basis that WMUK could support my pet project (Wikinews) and improve things for itself. As some on-list may know, I had to resign from the WMF Communications Committee for a 'technical' conflict of interest (I will be blunt, speak my mind, c where I see it as appropriate, WMF becoming ultra-conservative on such. However, in service on a Chapter board I see no serious issues, and an opportunity to run a recruitment drive in Scotland.) If I've - through my semi-desperate email registered as a candidate, I'm open to any queries on how I'd like to see WMUK grow. I'm very ambitious about getting WMUK seen as serious and respectable, I do want to push Wikinews issues, but I only want to do so where I can see a short-to-medium term benefit to WMUK. So, if I'm up as a candidate, spam me with questions! -- Brian McNeil brian.mcn...@wikinewsie.org Wikinewsie.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

From a quick Google search, it seems that the only way to delete an email from the archive is from the command line, which means a tech person at the WMF needs to do it (as this list is hosted by the WMF). Does anyone know of an easier way, or the appropriate WMF person to approach? It's too late. There is no way you will get the genii back in the bottle. It's not just in the archives on the WMF servers, it is all over the web (eg. on gname). The WMF tech people will probably be reluctant to do the work of deleting it for that reason. Asking in the #wikimedia-tech IRC channel would be the way to find out, though. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
