Very good stuff!
Can we please also have information on how to update them, and source

Mailing list posts are the wrong place to complain about ArbCom rulings.
They provide one point of view in a way that favours one side of the story,

If I understand the suggestion properly, the idea was not to stop
linking to articles in closed journals, but to find some meaningful
way to support the efforts of the researchers who are boycotting
closed journals (i.e. they are not publishing in them).

to extract good refs from Google Books and Google

into Citation Expander, it fills in the whole citation for you, and
the same for pubmed IDs. Now we just need a tool which will do this

This demands far too much of newbies. We can sometimes be very
cult-like in our demand for references and sources.
Verifiability is central to Wikipedia, and it should not be otherwise.
If we have editors who do not understand what a reliable source is, they
need to be educated. If they don't

allow users to make Wikipedia SFW (or SFL, depending on who you are)

You say that we exclude significant material on the basis of notability?
That seems almost contradictory. If it has been the subject of non-trivial,
reliable, 3rd party coverage, it's notable. If it hasn't, how 'significant'
is it really?
As for childish, trivial, offensive stuff: is it an

with the board at any point, we can elect a new one. If things
change, however, and it becomes clear that the project is being
jeopardised by the management, we need a plan C.

The system of charging readers for distribution of scientific information is
fundamentally flawed. Wikipedia demonstrates that it is cheap to host data.
Reviewers don't get paid. Companies pay plenty to advertise in journals. Why
do I have to pay $50 to read someone's research?
How on earth can this become the POTD on any Wikipedia? It's
tolerably well executed art, but utterly non-notable.
