The relevant facts to be checked were your assertion that I claimed that Wikipedia belongs to "us" Please do not misrepresent my words. I try to choose them with care. The selection of other "facts" you list below do not appear to make WMF any more an owner of Wikipedia than any of the actual c

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

I think the problem is that the pathological people, having been called out on being pathological, decided to double down on the original complainant. See also: Gamergate, a clearly apt and apposite comparison. On Thu, 13 Jun 2019 at 19:48, Pine W wrote: > > I'm sad to hear that. I would not want

I'm sad to hear that. I would not want a victim to go with a request for help to WMF, local functionaries, an arbitration committee, or anyone else, and have the situation end up worse rather than better. I don't know what to recommend. Perhaps you could ask the stewards what they think. I am also

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

The inapposite and totally inapt intervention of the WMF, a la bull in a china shop, caused a Streisand effect on the alleged harassment that is stated to have take place. I do not knew the editor which has been pointed as the source of the denounce, or if she has made any denounce at all, but I ce

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fram en.wp office yearlock block

I think it is important that the WMF is taking the question of harassment seriously. If the community processes are not adequate, it is not an incorrect response to take direct action to protect the individuals that are being harassed. Ideally, community processes should be improved and WMF can giv

This misses the point, as others have highlighted already. The WMF can and /should/ globally and permanently ban paedophiles, terrorists, system hackers and people making multiple cross-wiki death threats or threats of suicide. There are perfectly good and understandable reasons as to why the evid
