Re: [Wikimedia-l] Book Grant program

That's great. :) if you add something "for queries please contact joh@example.org" or something like that on the Book Grant page too ( http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Book_Grants), non-members and non mailing list readers can easily contact from there. On 19 July 2015 at 22:15, Keilana wrote: >

As well-intentioned as that policy was, I can't find that there was ever an authority (the Board or the community) who ratified the policy. It's well intentioned and it seems to me that it might very well pass an RfC. The Board or the community might agree to expand it to cover all grants name spac

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation quarterly reviews for April-June 2015

Hmm. It seems to me that having WMF create a policy for conduct that it imposes on non-WMF wikis would effectively be an office action , and the policy for office actions doesn't seem to contemplate them being expanded in to general moderation of Wiki
