I'm sorry but I find it pretty inappropriate that a chapter published such

Maybe it's a cultural issue, does e.g.

Dear fellow Wikimedians,
the programme team has just published an updated version of the
sessions that we are planning to cover at the Wikimedia Conference
(April 10-13, Berlin): Right now, we have 30 sessions on the

Hi,

Many years ago, the editors of the Spanish Wikipedia decided to close the
possibility to directly host images, choosing instead to use Wikimedia
