ridiculous, and mentioned in my RFA on Commons. Time, perhaps, for the WMF to get its act together and say to people "That was the wrong thing to do, and we have no hesitation in correcting it". Fortunately I am no longer alone; I have people interested in exposing the arbitrariness of arb

The search has to be done before the category structure is addressed, even if that needs to be done. How else would you compartmentalise, what 32 million images? And structured data has to be fixed before either. The reason is that structured data does not have unique names, and I don't think

I haven't seen any evidence of this on Commons. We do delete selfies of non-Wikimedians because we are not Facebook. Apart from that, I'd like to see some evidence for this. Thanks User:Rodhullandemu --- New Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail replacement - get it here:

A good and just result. However, there is no mention of costs and I would hope that the Foundation would have recovered these in the face of what seemed to be an optimistic, if not actually frivolous, claim. Lest history should repeat itself, I'd be glad if it were made clear that the
