This is what I was referring to, Implying that "the volunteer work you would have done before/after or during being a full time and paid staff of Foundation cease to have any value". I really don't see a single mention that shiju or anyone's work "ceases to have value". He was, is, and will be a well respected community member. I have said that in the first thread. Currently, he is an employee, and justly, official reports from WMF should reflect the work he does as an employee, that is all. > I am referring to your previous full time and paid work for the Wikimedia > Foundation 2010-2011 > http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_contractors#Individuals Yes thank you. I don't think I have ever denied being a contractor.....anywhere.(BTW that page is only for people who declare their contract-work, there is large majority who is not there.) I know you like to point to it, but you and shiju also received a grant for a project at the same time, does you insinuation follow? should I add a link to it every time discussions like this come up, or is it enough to just assume good faith with your fellow community member? I have been trying for my part. * > " I don't think anyone said anything to that effect so far.

I can't see the insinuation you are extracting from it. It only says to carry the same demarcation well respected and followed on-wiki, nothing more. If you think that it's not important, you should ask WMF to change staff policy, he was suggesting applying the same internal standards. > > As I have clearly explained earlier, such a segregation is only possible > in virtual user accounts, not in real world action.

I do my own type of volunteer work, I don't question yours, please don't question mine. Again, Ashwin puts it eloquently, "more prudence and probity are the need of the hour. More transparency, not more laissez faire." - I completely agree. Regards Theo
