Re: [Wikimedia-l] Some bugs in payment form (was: Why is bank transfer no longer possible?)

2014-12-23 Thread Patricia Pena 
Hi Lodewijk,

Thank you for bringing up these issues. We are looking into it and should
have some answers soon!

As for the address as a required field, would you be able to provide us
with screenshots? I couldn't reproduce it. I can see the name and *email *
fields, and these are pieces of information we request from all donors
(regardless of the donation option) so that we can send an automated *Thank
You* email.

Thanks!
Pats

I have, reluctantly, turned on moderation for new subscriptions, and
told mailman to e-mail the admins whenever anyone subscribes.
(Subscription will still be open.) It's my intention to unmoderate—as
quickly as possible—anyone who's posted a few times and established
that they're doing so in good faith.

I hope this will blow over soon, and everything can go back to
"normal." Meanwhile, I don't think the new subscriber workload is more
than we (the admins) can handle.

Thread hijacking is plain rude. As for Joe Jobbing Wikimedians, it is
a despicable and malicious form of cyberbullying.

Can't someone come up with a way of slapping these prawns down for good?

Attention : LILA TETRIKOV

MY EMAIL ON PENDING SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINT AT LEGAL + ARBCOM, and
further to some emails from WMF Gender Gap mailing list

Please reply as follows

1) What action WMF has taking on penalizing on-wiki sexual harassment
by WMF's user SITUSH based on my complaints to a) WMF LEGAL b)
EN:ARBCOM.

2) NB: WMF's user SITUSH is now a NOTABLE online sexual harasser from
news reports published as far afield as Australia and discussed on
Gender Gap as a "rancorous, sexist, elitist, stupidly bureaucratic
mess. "

https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/gendergap/2014-December/005181.html

http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/12/14/comment-will-editing-disputes-mean-end-wikipedia

3) What action WMF has taking to ban User SITUSH who is part of a
notorious MEATFARM known as "Manchester Mafia" which is nothing but a
pack of extortionist sexist, rancorous  and racist blackmailers who
extort money for correcting defamatory Wikipedia articles on
non-Wikipedians.

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Manchester_Wikimeet_Feb_2012-5.jpg

4) Further to my public correspondence with WMF Community Advocate
Patrick Early, by when is WMF prepared to either disclose real world
identity of User Sitush, or else confirm that s/he is impersonating as
Simon Tushingham of AON Insurance from Manchester UK  as disclosed
on-wiki from this account so that I may sue the user properly.

5) In the meantime by when will my Wikipedia USER account be restored
by WMF as an OFFICE ACTION so that I can create and develop an English
Wikipedia article on the notable newsworthy Simon Tushingham
"@Si.tush" impersonator and his unchecked harassment of declared
female editors by using culturally abusive terms like "piss off",
"fuck off", "cunt" etc. with them on-wiki

6) Why a MEATFARM like the extortionist manchester mafia is tolerated
by WMF, and its male sexist accounts with privacy violating CHECKUSER
privileges not terminated, whereas female users are banned  ?

7) Is WMF prepared to identify the MEATFARM male persons in the
photographic image at point 3 ?

Linda
