Re: [Wikimedia-l] Our final email
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 ?

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Our final email
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.

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

However, if I am clicking iDEAL in Dutch, it puts the address/name as a required field - while this should not be necessary in iDEAL. Seems like an easy bug to fix. But also when I enter a name etc, it simply returns to the same page, unlike in ENglish, where it takes me to the bank. Maybe reset the translations? Also, in English the Friesland Bank option seems to be broken. Not sure if that is a bug on your side or at iDEAL. Just some bugs I was able to spot without too much effort - hope you can pass it on to the right people.

IDEAL has been back up in the page, but we recently made a few changes that ended up accidentally removing the option from the form. It's all fixed now :) Regarding IBAN: Finance is still working with our bank and we should be sending an update once we hear from them.

We also support offline bank transfer (IBAN) and donors can get the account number with our Donor Services team. We had an extremely successful Fundraising campaign this year, and there will be some great mobile optimization coming up in the next few months, which will allow mobile donors to complete their donations in a much faster and easier way.

Pats On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 11:28 AM, Lodewijk lodew...@effeietsanders.org wrote: A while back now, the chapters were no longer allowed to fundraise, because the Wikimedia Foundation argued they would be better able to do this. At the time, this sounded somewhat reasonable. However, since then, there have been some disturbing developments - at least for Dutch donors. No longer it is possible to pay electronically (iDEAL, one of the most common methods is no longer supported - 'electronic banking' simply refers you back to the credit card page) or even via regular bank transfer (using an IBAN) in the Netherlands. The donation page https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:FundraiserLandingPagecountry=NLuselang=enutm_medium=spontaneousutm_source=fr-redirutm_campaign=spontaneous only allows credit card and paypal, and the 'other ways to give' simply sends you to the helpdesk if you want to make a bank transfer payment. What is the reasoning behind this? Have bank transfers become a legal swamp? Are there statistics suggesting that this method was no longer required by donors? Did the European bank account somehow get temporarily suspended? If it has become so hard to donate, maybe it makes more sense to send the donors to the local chapter pages where they can actually donate in the local suitable methods (in this case, Wikimedia Netherlands offers both iDEAL and IBAN http://www.wikimedia.nl/pagina/doneren-aan-wikimedia-nederland ). One of the Dutch OTRS team members asked for elaboration, but didn't quite get a satisfying answer. I hope this is a temporary situation, and that this threshold will be removed again. It would be sad if we go through all kind of trouble to enable long tail methods like bitcoin, but skip bank
