But I do think it's very likely that, given your strong connection to the Wikimedia Foundation, your choice to engage extensively at the Wikipediaocracy site will continue to generate a great deal of interest and curiosity.You may consider yourself a newbie, but you also have higher than normal access to information about Wikimedia, and -- like it or not -- your actions will surely be received by some as providing a window into how the Wikimedia Foundation is building its understanding of its community.
