I am a bit surprised that a call for papers seems to touch such a nerve
here. Agreed, this mailing list can be very chatty and not only on "call
for papers", but doesn't that come with the territory? I briefly scanned
this "Call-for-papers" and I actually can see that it might appeal to some
communities within the Wikidata universe, so I don't think we should censor
this just yet.

We should also not forget that Wikidata has achieved a lot and as such is
inspirational to many. With that comes the burden of having to accept some
level of "spammy call-for-papers".

just my 2ct.

Cheers,

Andra
