Well, not exactly tyrannical, as there obviously is a plan behind it not to let anything critical sound on a list that no longer serves the community, but that is just another tool for corporate communication. Of course, I also unsubscribed from the list, and I will read it from the archive only because I don't subscribe to corporate communication lists. I agree to Aaron that we should concentrate on factual data for research. However, I'd like to give you an idea of what nowadays is no longer possible on Wikimedia-l because this also serves as an indicator for the "health" of Wikipedia. The text of my censored email read: "Jan-Bart, you might be aware that it was you that drove many "talented candidates" out of the movement last year. So, no more comment." And the moderator gave this comment for his decision: "I could not find anything positive in your message. How would it help the goals of the Wikimedia movement? Regards, Richard." That's the way Wikipedia works in 2015. So, no more comments about "community health" or whoever's health. I'm off. Best, Jürgen. _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
