Hoi,
There is another benefit, when Wikidata is KNOWN to have good data as it is
actively comparing its data with other sources, people will get more
confidence in the quality of Wikidata.
Thanks,

Part of the difficulty of that statement is that the very /definition/

Hi all,
as you may have seen on the English wikipedia and elsewhere, there are
navigation blocks implemented templates like these:

I wrote the email below to Lila and the WMF Legal department asking
for access to records (and reports) they hold on me, but I'm sad to
say that after 3 weeks waiting, I have yet to receive an
acknowledgement. As a Wikimania London volunteer I had a moment to
speak with Jan-Bart, and some of my Wik
Hi Fae,
in the Netherlands it is quite common for this kind of reqeusts to take
several weeks (the government usually allows itself up to six weeks to even
acknowledge receipt). Given the fact that the legal department was over
their heads busy in the past weeks, I am not very surprised it is taki
Hi all,
I'm sorry to repeat, but I would like to hear some thoughts on this question.
Also added a clarification for one of the lines.

I think the problem is that your question does not really relate to the
subject line, Svetlana. Office actions are specifically directed at
content (e.g., removal of specific content for copyvio reasons or court
orders). Office actions are almost never undertaken by Engineering staff;

Hi Fae/Everyone
Just to be clear, although the text below is factually correct it implies that
the two of us talked about your request at Wikimania, which we did not. We
talked for a total of around 60 seconds, most of which was spent on me
explaining that I was looking for someon in a hurry, t
To avoid tangents, here is my email trimmed to the 2 key points with no
background:
Can someone recommend if there is a WMF policy on transparency that applies?
Does the law in the USA give rights of access to records or reports the WMF
may keep on volunteers?

How should an Engineering Staff member indicate that he'd like an edit undone
