Hoi,
Raising revenue is done in one way. We ask people, they give.
We tell everybody that the WMF is a charity in the USA.. FINE but it is
also a charity in many other countries for instance in the Netherlands.
Increasing the amount of money in the Netherlands can be done in many ways.

Hi, the idea is interesting, I am a volunteer in same grant committees of
WMF and I can only agree to have a more comparable financial sheets (mainly
in the use of the currencies).
But I have some concerns.
a) I hope that this project will produce more comparable financial sheets
but without

Todd, is it perhaps this diff among yours (https://archive.is/MRUkZ) where you
called for the keeping of an apparently explicit autofellatio image in a
since-deleted autofellatio article that makes you think you're partially to

That's such a wonderful, sweet project! :) It seems likely infeasible for
bigger projects but as a way to build a strong small wiki community, I
think it's amazing!
Kudos to you!

Belarus) at the talk page, but it is too heated and I was not able to

I think the reason is more than obvious: Belarus is south of Moldova and
Ukraine is in between, so it went south. As Russia is basically on the east
of all of three countries, it's logical to put it among the northern
countries.

are priceless. That is why Wikimedia Poland has created an award to say

it strikes me that when one of the principal activities of chapters is
omitted, the relative value of this research is reduced.
When you consider that it is EXACTLY the time I had to spend re reporting
that I will think hard to apply again that considering it out of scope is
also really bad
I agree with everything Michał said. It's a very flawed distinction, and
it is often misleading. We at WMF have certainly been paying much closer
attention to contexts at the level of countries and regions than to the
binary divide.
Conceivably, some time investment could result in a better and
Hi Gerard,
I found this finance report interesting, especially in light of discussions
at WMCON. I'll have more to say later but I'm pretty swamped in projects at
the moment. I may try to add some thoughts about this finance report into
my piece about WMCON that I'm writing for the Signpost.
