Hi Phillippe, I noticed that the press release[1] had been made and says "despite a press report in Finland that suggested we did not meet the deadline. That press report has since been retracted and corrected" However, when I browse to the report, it still appears uncorrected.. Alex [1] https:

Hello all, We are handling this issue, and we are contacting the authorities to resolve their questions. If you receive any official inquires about fundraising on Finnish Wikipedia, please direct them to the Wikimedia Foundation legal team, to me or Andrei Voinigescu (avoinige...@wikimedia.org).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

Most importantly for all this, the SERVERS are not hosted in Finland (unless something snuck in there behind my back). Under US and EU laws, I would think there's no Finnish jurisdiction over where the servers are located. If the Finnish Police are asserting authority over any website written in

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Statement for the police about the fundraising?

I would dispute the suggestion the Finnish Wikipedia is specific to Finland; I read it regularly and have never been to Finland. There are at a bare minimum something like 300,000 fluent Finnish speakers who don't live in Finland (and I don't think that's counting the portion of Swedes who speak F

In Australia, we (Wikimedia Australia) had to get fundraising approval before the 2010 fundraiser (when the chapters accepted and processed the payments and then passed a share back to the Wikimedia Foundation). This was made more complicated due to the fundraising laws being a state issue rather

It’s incredible that some governments think they "own" the language(s) mainly spoken in their country: fi.wikipedia.org is in Finnish but not related to Finland (non-Finnish people could visit fi.wikipedia.org, and Finnish people could visit other language Wikipedias). And it’s sad if they
