"[The city] says it won't hold it against anyone for refusing to provide it." If it's not compulsory, I don't see a problem, as long as that fact is made clear to people. I don't see the point in asking if it isn't compulsory, though, unless they intend to trick people into thinking it is. Who would voluntarily give up that information? _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
