[Wikimedia-l] blocking, unblocking, wikivoyage

While we give individual languages / projects a great deal of autonomy, they are not completely autonomous and remain accountable to our global norms. We have a shared brand to uphold. Glad to see a strong position has been taken by the community against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Thanks TS for making an initial statement. Hopefully this case sets a useful precedent to ensure everyone is a bit clearer on processes to follow and what is the best advice to offer complainants who suffer discriminatory sysop actions on Wikimedia projects. Certainly it has reinforced my view
