I think the FAQ is an ok place to find answers to questions. The Neutrality notice was a short term solution to improve previous versions of notices placed there. If anyone wonders about why these notices, you can find several related discussions in the Talk page, and the edit history is also quite telling. That page has been a tense corner for months. Beyond the specific scope of the Brand project, a point of contention has been and continues to be more Meta: whether a project team (of any kind, not just a Foundation team) can explain a project in their terms (including FAQs) or anyone can edit any page in Meta (including modifying, deleting or reverting answers from the project team in the project FAQ). The topic is more nuanced and complex than this, I bet all parties are quite frustrated by now, and this is probably a good meta conversation to have in Meta at some point, detached from specific projects and heated discussions. Back to this FAQ, this week the team has prepared updates to that page. Tito, you asking here is an extra motivation to proceed. :) If anyone wants to help, watching the page and providing alternative views if new discussions arise is a good way to contribute to the improvement of the FAQ and hopefully the removal of that notice soon. -- Quim Gil (he/him) Senior Manager of Community Relations @ Wikimedia Foundation https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Qgil-WMF _______________________________________________ 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: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
