In the past two days I've been four off-list messages in response to my request for proposed banner language, all but one from James Salsman, who I recently defended here and who was subsequently "placed on moderation." I asked moderator Richard Ames whether it would be appropriate to forward his messages, and he said they should be sent to the moderation queue. James then sent me a BCC of a very brief post yesterday, which apparently has not yet been approved. James then sent me, but not the list, arguments about the merits of the various alternatives. I don't agree with the censorship, but in deference to the moderator I am sending these links without James's commentary:

I am not suggesting it be ruled out, nor am I suggesting that we not join the call. I am simply asking for discussion in the middle ground. -Will _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
