I would second Risker's call. Let me rephrase my words earlier. My apologies, I wrote it past midnight in my time zone and I might have been half awake. To put in context, if the concern is addressed to affcom, it should be addressed via an affiliate executive as authorised by their board

You put in a URL that links to one. And there, you're done. Having a "howto" gadget like that is not the purpose of an article. The purpose of an article is to describe, not have a "simulator". A URL to one on some other site in the external links section might be quite in order, but that is out

Dear wikimedians, Some years ago, I visited Uzbekistan. I was shocked and amused to find that the largest paper note was 2.000 soʻm at that time, with a plan to start with the 5.000 paper note soon. The most used one still was the 1.000 soʻm note, that was about 35 US cents in the bank and

I echo SJ's words. This is ad hominem, especially against someone who has been a part of the Wikimedia community much before being a part of WMF, continues to remain a part of her home community in volunteer capacity, and has expanded her volunteerism to contribute to global roles. That, IMO, is a

That (AffCom history) I don't know, apart that once they were known as ChapCom. At least since 2017 (and probably well before?) AffCom members are chosen by AffCom itself, and the only entity they answer to is the WMF BoT. Best, Paulo Gnangarra escreveu no dia terça, 26/10/2021 à(s) 12:01: >
