Hi,
I agree 100% with Joseph Seddon's comment regarding the CN Banner procedure. :-) Then, by the way: I think Wikipedia should remain apolitical (not using wikipedia for a political purposes) as much as possible thus i don't think it is a good idea to set up such banners. We are building encyclopedia knowledge. @Gerard Meijssen: Of course Wikimedia/Wikipedia cares about users/staff, but political banners are not the best way. Telling stuff like "we do not care about our own", in the current context, is imho a affront for the Community and the Foundation.

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: http://i.imgur.com/3Fb8Zrr.png http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8671628/national-strike-protest-president-donald-trump/ https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/5s6ay6/activists_call_for_a_nationwide_strike_in_protest/ddctj1h/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2017/01/31/wheres-the-best-place-to-resist-trump-at-work/ https://www.thenation.com/article/throw-sand-in-the-gears-of-everything/ Another respondent who asked that I not use their name suggested that an effective campaign can be patterned after this recent success: http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/progressive-activism-forces-uber-ceo-break-trump Could we please have banner text proposals do NOT call for a general strike? 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> _______________________________________________ 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>
