Re: [Wikimedia-l] Russian Wikipedia goes on strike

Btw, the project should be (at least) visible for stewards. I was trying to check edits done by an account [1] that may be a spambot, but I couldn't. As the edit on ru.wiki is the only one, despite account is registered in other projects, it would help to have an idea on what kind of account

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Plea from Wikimedia Portugal

I really hope that the reason for de-recognition of any affiliate is not that “the other side expressed a contrary position”. We have seen it in Brazil too, as others already started to link the dots. There where two groups in conflict. Instead of solving the problem, or even declaring itself

The way AffCom deals with certain situations is clearly not transparent enough for the Wikimedia environment. We have a situation in Brazil that remains unsolved and Affcom wouldn’t even follow their own ways of dealing with it. Here is a clearer example:

We should definitely rethink our way of saying “welcome”. :) I don’t know if Lisa is on the list, but - if she is - welcome to Wikimedia. We, volunteers, tend to be passionate about projects and complain about almost everything. Most of the time, with good intentions, as I am sure those involved
