firing Gayle or Philippe should happen. However, I have concerns about keeping
Gayle in the Chief Talent and Culture Officer position. I directed that concern
to her and I want to hear what she thinks. There may be

There's also the viewpoint that a person being fired could go overboard
and do irreparable harm to the site and the public's view of the WMF.
There's of course the possibility to revert the changes on the website,
since it is a wiki, but very hard to do on the public opinion, like if a

Pine says no one suggested firing Gayle or Philippe; I think it's
clear that whatever semantics are invoked, he did suggest just that.
That's beyond inappropriate, in my view, and an example of the toxic

I don't know what to do. I lost sleep thinking about this situation last night.
I think I'm still in shock and I'm frustrated. The normal situation on wiki is
to have this kind of discussion in public for actions that happen on any wiki
that I know of. There were similarly public discussions
I think that is a pretty good analysis of the entire project. It is
directly related to lack of editorial control and the impossibility of

I ran across this paragraph in the preface to O'Reilly's new book

I usually say Wikipedia consist of some hundred different encyclopedias
on different topics.
And some of these are excellent and have full covering, like popes,
birds, where wp is better then all other encyclopedia in all aspects
Other subject area are more uneven both in covering and in

FWIW Adding debug=true on zero domains should show the canonical url

30 days as the caches update.
