2015-04-18 Thread Srikanth Ramakrishnan

Yohann,
apologies if I've offended you. I'm not accusing the Pune community. Do
remember, I'm also part of the Pune community now.

Since this person chose to generalise things, I also chose to generalise as
such open trolling and blatant mudslinging happened when the Pune Club was
mentioned back in 2013. However, the past is the past.

My only point is, such trolls should not be encouraged. This said user is
the same user who says people like me should not be entertained. I've been
part of this list since 2008, a time, when quite a lot of people here did
not even know what the Edit Button was.
The same user in the past has made scathing remarks against me and Moksh:

Dear Moksh!
You have a 3 months baby which means you were already execpting a child a
year ago. It was not a natural calaminity or something like that which
occured suddenly. Having 3 months old baby is just a fake reason behind
your resignation. I haven't seen any work or activity done by you or your
EC in your tenure till date.

Regards,
Jayantilal.

If such users come to this public list to blast hard working users [yes, I
consider myself hard working as far as Wiki is concerned, both offline and
online], then there is no need for them to be here. Our contributions speak
volumes for themselves, and mine, be it on en.wikipedia, commons, or
wikidata speak more than some anonymous troll who sends out a mail with a
singular +1 attached to it.

Apologies for the whole Pune thing. That was wrong for me to have said.
However, I repeat, such trolls need to be blocked if the sanity and quality
of this mailing list it to be maintained.

But @srikanth, I am disappointed saddened from the fact that you are
indirectly accusing that this person(who I have never heard of I
guarantee is not from Pune Community) is from Pune community. It is totally
incorrect of you to blame any community without any proof.

Are you trying to say that anyone who criticizes you is from Pune
Community??

PS.
As being a current EC member, I strongly object oppose any kind of
mudslinging on past as well as current EC members. The integrity of this
chapter is of my utmost importance.

Kothari's problem seems to be with Srikanth's (and other former EC
members') past actions and not with the suggestions and comments Srikanth
has made about Wiki Loves Food. Bringing up a bona fide member's real or
perceived bad karma from the past only derails the conversation and does
not nothing constructive for the community.

There is certain Jayantilal Kothari on this list, possibly a member of
the Wikimedia Pune Club who is now spewing venom against me.
As far as I know, this avcount ahs only been trolling in the past.
The account says people like must NOT be entertained on this list.

I have not seen you contribute to Wiki, who are you to talk about me?

I resigned from the chapter for multiple reasons, including dilly
dallying during Ravi's hiring. Yes, I did send a mail about the minority
EC, so that the GoK might have handled the situation which might have
helped the chapter. You do not know me, or my contributions to the
movement, so YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT ME AND MY INTEREST In the
Chapter.
I don't want to stoop to the level of saying Shut up, but should the
matter escalate, I will do so.

Yes, yes, thanks to certain people who saved the chapter. You have no
clue what was happening then, so don't bother.
PRanav and Moksh's stepping down was also for personal reasons there is
no reason to drag all three of us into this.

2015-04-18 Thread Karthik Nadar

+1 Rohini.

I think all points raised by Srikanth and everyone is valid on Wiki Loves
Food discussion thread. Srikanth was not the only one, it included me,
Sudanwa, Dhaval. All of them were just curious and want to see all goes
well before the contest goes live.

No one should have rights to say to the community to ignore someone's
queries raised because (it has) some emotions that some one has taken so
much of time and efforts to understand what exactly is happening and by
asking, he would alert is there needs any correction.
