Hello,
Looking at issues objectively, the chapter has always been working with and
for the community. All the members come from the community.  In layman
terms I think the only privilege of the membership holders is to elect and
be elected and a few other responsibilities that can be realised only
within a formal structure.

Please cite the rule.  Otherwise explain why the "COMMUNITY" was

While the graduate constituency MLC elections are open for only graduates
it does not mean that others cannot raise questions to the candidates.  It
is just that only graduates can vote and be elected. I think the same
thought process applies here.  It would be good to remove the artificial
restriction else the chapter may be reduced to only the numbers who are
members.

Please cite the rule.  Otherwise explain why the "COMMUNITY" was
invited to pose queries to candidates till 15.Nov.2014. It has always
been clearly understood that "community" refers to "Wikipedia users
community" and Wikimedia "India" is known as "Chapter".

Is it your case that candidates for WMIN should not reply to queries
from the community ?

Do you have anything to hide ? All these files of pornography, child
pornography and LGBT pornography which is being distributed from your
filthy website ? Who is packing WMIN EC with LGBT activists ? Why do
you have so many fake members that most votes are invariably cast
through postal ballots ?

Insofar as WMIN Chapter is concerned, it is essentially restricted in
its operations to state of Karnataka. If you want to operate pan-India
register yourself under a central enactment like the 1860 Act or Multi
States Co-op Act. Until then call yourself Wikimedia Chapter or
Wikimedia Chapter (Karnataka) and do not publish your obscene
pornography outside the state of Karnataka.
