I don't recall seeing any, but did anyone actually explain why the market had not provided a filtering solution for Wikipedia, if there's actually a demand for one? (IIRC the various netnannies for workplaces don't filter Wikipedia, or do so only by keyword, i.e. [[Scunthorpe problem]]-susceptible, methods.) I ask because of recent statements by board members that the filter is alive and well, and not at all dead. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
