Editing via a mailing list is clearly not ideal. I was going to add the missing
r to “do not add you own bio”, trivial compared to the licensing issue that
Andy mentioned, and typical of the minor edits that I do on Wikipedia and other
wikis. But there doesn't seem to be an edit button on

This is how it appears for me, in Firefox (current version) with
AdBlockPlus enabled:
I had to turn off my anti-tracking extension to see this site properly.
What kind of visitor tracking are we using in this site? And if someone is
not willing to be tracked, this site should load fully without breaking the
styling.

Hi Lodewijk,
I'm not sure exactly what, if any, other sites this new privacy policy
might cover. However I can confirm that the WMF fundraising infrastructure
remains under the existing Donor Privacy Policy:

I can imagine that this alternate privacy policy is actually covering a
wider range of sites that are non-wiki, such as the fundraising
infrastructure and the survey websites, voting websites etc. Rather than
having a different privacy policy for each of those instances, I think it
is actually
Indeed an special watered down privacy policy is strange. It is worth
noting that the standard privacy policy[1] does not state that it only
applies to "wiki based websites" but instead lists what it does and does
not cover[2], the only interpretation that allows a separate policy for the

The home page currently says:
" Everything on a Wikimedia site is available as Creative Commons material. "
That is
Sorry to interrupt from cheering to a ‘walled garden’, and I don’t want
to be negative, but there are some important questions about this
endeavour that weren’t answered while the site was being developed:
1. Is the translation of the new site easily available for volunteers? I

Nice work!

changes:

Also, please change the image to

I like it. I do feel the Wikimedia foundation is diverging from it's
previous role as custodian of Wikipedia, and becoming a international
advocacy group. I feel this change is welcome and will help develop the
Creative Commons mission beyond just Wikipedia and it's sister sites.

Hi Greg, thank you for the update.
