--- Comment #3 from Philippe Beaudette <[email protected]> 2011-04-18 19:45:40 UTC --- As a general rule, the term "staff" is a tricky one. It can be misunderstood, and even potentially create legal issues. It also conveys a measure of 'ownership' that isn't really conducive to a collaborative work environment. By strict definition, en.wiktionary says staff means "(plural: staff) The employees of a business. (e.g. The company employed 10 new staff this month.)" Conveying that there is a business relationship could result in confusion as to whether someone is an employee/agent of the Wikimedia Foundation, and those people aren't shielded from legal liability. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
