Whoever has locked out access to it.wikipedia.org should be immediately
desysopped under emergency procedures. This site is run by the Wikimedia
Foundation and I've seen no authorization by the WMF for the vandalism of
one of its websites.

I'm sure those on this list are familiar with the de.wikipedia poll on the
proposed image filter with its strong outcome on a particular side of the
debate. I am quite concerned about the precedent that it.wikipedia is being
allowed to set. Should I expect that de.wikipedia would be allowed to
It's also not difficult to add links to sister projects in the
sidebar, as seen at en.wikibooks since February 2011 [1]. And I know
some other projects do similar things as well, some with JavaScript.

You don't have to have an account on LinkedIn to receive these emails. We
were getting them sent to OTRS email addresses all the time before I asked
LinkedIn to block emails to the addresses. Had to go through customer
service because they don't provide an opt-out link in the emails they send.
I also agree that a resolution is needed. Two individuals don't speak for
the whole board and I'm not willing to take your word on it. Up until now
the community has had the say over which projects were closed through the
proposals for closing projects and you throw out the statement that

So, on one hand I can understand the resistance towards adding even more

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2010 Picture of the Year
competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which
images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2010. Any user registered

I found the following recently-created essay by Yair rand to be
thought-provoking and wanted to bring it to the attention of others:

Its main theme is that a Wikipedia surrounded by successful projects will
have a far better future
This is the first I've heard about this, as an OTRS volunteer for an English
language non-info-en queue. I do not have the luxury of being subscribed to
the OTRS mailing list, as it's restricted to those with access to the
info-en queue. That subset of OTRS members is not equal to all of them.

keep creating new wikis for Wikimania if you properly tag content for the
year it applies to.

request an unblock locally and hopefully an administrator without a conflict
