How should an Engineering Staff member indicate that he'd like an edit undone
and not done again? Through an Office Ac
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

"Proposing a solution to the community" should not be the start of the process

Developers are better qualified than non-developers to say whether a prom can

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

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

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:FOSS

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,
