[WikiEN-l] Fwd: MathJax enabled on mediawiki.org
(FYI) -- Forwarded message -- From: Erik Moeller Date: Tue, Apr 17, 2012 at 2:58 PM Subject: MathJax enabled on mediawiki.org To: Wikimedia developers MathJax is now enabled as an experimental math rendering mode on MediaWiki.org (thanks, Aaron). To enable it, select it in your preferences under "Appearance". I've set up a page here to report & track issues: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math/MathJax_testing While it's probably too slow to make it the default, it's a nice alternative rendering mode which we should make available everywhere if there are no remaining major issues. Thanks to Brion and everyone else involved in getting it to this point.

George, the point is some people don't want to have a relationship with us, and I don't think we should force them. Please imagine how you would feel if Facebook opened an account under your real name, against your wishes, then added to the page whatever factoid it could find about you in local papers and records, and even wanted to track down your birth certificate and use Freedom of Information against you. Then when you explained it was making you ill, Facebook staff appeared on the page, called you an idiot in public, and said your complaints had succeeded only in drawing more attention to you. That's basically what we're doing to people, and as with all things reactions differ. Some are flattered, some don't mind, and some get upset. It's not for us to say which reaction is correct, and that the upset people are being irrational.

They had an idiosyncratic reaction and did a bunch of actions that made the situation worse and called more attention to themselves. Their press campaign did not help. BLP subjects are not necessarily familiar with the ins and outs of Wikipedia and may not know how to best act so as to minimize their Wikipedia exposure. They should not be penalized for failure to do so. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
