Re: [Foundation-l] ru-Wikiversuty
I agree with Huib: it's no foundation matter unless you've been blocked in relation to foundation matters (like CentralNotice, enforcing Foundation policy etc.) Yaroslav, I think I can understand you are unhappy and somehow upset, but please give your consideration to that what matters if you are blocked from the wiki you haven't edited yet and have no further plan to participate? Actually from nothing you've been hindered, in particular participating into foundation matters. Keep your good editing in other projects you have been active, no worried and boldly.

Yaroslav, the first instance for cases like this one are stewards: IRC channel or anyone of us personally. There is no need for raising this here. Actually, the only sense for raising such issue here is if you are not content with stewards' action. If there won't be solution this evening, I'll take care about it tomorrow. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l

Re: [Foundation-l] ru-Wikiversuty
There's not so many admins on ru.wikiversity (http://ru.wikiversity.org/wiki/%D0%A1%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F:ListUsers/sysop). So, I don't believe this will work. This is a common problem of new small projects without healthy communities. -- Regards, I.V.

There are only two administrators over there, I will now write the second one though I do not expect much.

It sounds, on the surface, like retaliation simply as a result of your association with those who this person feels has wronged him.

Today, I have been blocked for half a year on ru.wikiversity by an admin, SergeyJ http://ru.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9E%D0%B1%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B6%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0:Yaroslav_Blanter&diff=37398&oldid=37388 despite the fact that I have never edited Russian Wikiversity. Is this a normal practice? I remember the story of Russian Wikisource, when an admin, Ramir, has been speedily desysopped by stewards for blocking users arbitrarily. But at least these users made some edits. I am not sure what should I do now since my SUL shows a block in one of the projects. Note that SergeyJ has been placed by the Arbitration Committee of Russian Wikipedia under editing limitations for gross violations. I am currently serving as a member of Arbitration Committee (I was not involved in the decision on his editing limitations).

Hi Lodewijk: Yes, we'll be testing geolocation. In the interests of getting the tests in a functional order, we started with a "lightweight" version, and will be progressively adding levels of complexity as we get closer to the fundraiser. pb On Aug 21, 2010, at 10:55 AM, Lodewijk wrote: > Hi Philippe, > > thanks for this advance warning.

Hi Philippe, thanks for this advance warning. I dont recall you sharing this before on this list, but I probably just missed it. Just for the record, I assume you will also be testing the geolocation? (which is most likely one of the things that can break, and therefore important to test - also giving the option to test chapter pages). Since I did not see any call to the chapters to update pages etc, I assume you are going to use last years infrastructure?
