I have to chime in to echo that the size of the USA and the fact that it is
populated throughout is an issue for a general USA chapter. I attended a
meetup in Nashville, Tennessee, which had people from five states and it was
a seven hour drive for me, and I was in a state next to it. Going to DC

They must have been imported. One of the edits is an article protection; I

It seems that no one actually announced the creation of the
"newprojects" mailing list yet!
The mailing list[1] is an announcement-only list for new Wikimedia
wikis[2]. The way it works is that the addwiki.php[3] script that
sysadmins use to create the wikis automatically sends a mail to the
list
Forwarded to the list on behalf of a non-member (Mstislavl).
In reality the "Border Control Philosophy" has nothing to do with criticism
of the project or administration. This is a Rissian version of what Jimbo
said after blocking some trolls in the English Wikiversity:

Hi everyone I just wanted to step in and remind everyone of the enormity of
the task thats lying ahead for the Foundation. As Mr. Davis and Horning have
pointed out that US already has a very good representation, its the

If I remember my reading from the recent strategy documents, the Foundation
wants to create more awareness amongst the less internet prevalent
countries. Here in the USA, you could poll several dozen random people on
the street, and likely not find a single person that doesn't know about

As a Wikimedia from the United States, I think I can speak to concern about
a lack of a U.S. chapter.
There are many factors that have thus far held back the formation of a
chapter in my country, some of which are unique because of the history of
the movement, and some of which we share w
Hoi,
The reality of chapters in the WMF is that the most obvious chapter does not
exist. Not only does it not exist the WMF itself confuses the issue by
functionaing in effect as both the worldwide organisation and the USA
chapter.
The consequence is that it is not possible to appreciate when the
Under the Border Control philosophy Larry Sanger, to say nothing of
others, would have banned me years ago. I've done plenty of work, in

Sorry, I meant Википедия:Философия блокировок

current location of the essay
The original wording, still used sometimes, is Защита границ

Dear colleagues,
I personally think that this "Russian Wikiversity story" is primarily a
grotesque replica of the so-called "Border Control" philosophy that was
flourishing in Russian Wikipedia some time ago. It's a return fire of some
