As Wikimedia (or.. Wikipedia!) office address isn't publicly announced
or published, the press release would be fantastic:
"Wikipedia is moving from undisclosed location off
Correct, I meant announcement not press release. Announcing this move by
placing a blurb on the foundation site, asking for assistance on the sf list,
and letting the signpost know all would have headed this discussion off

Is that all they have, a plan? They're of

Why would the press be interested in the WMF putting the offices they
are about to move out of on the market? The move itself will be

They haven't moved yet. I bet we can safely let this topic drop, though.

The plan may have been mentioned ages ago, but a press release about the move
would have eliminated the opportunity for trolling.

The best way to end this in the future is to give the community a brief heads
up along the line of "Hey y'all, we will be moving to NEW ADDRESS effective
DATE" This lets us know beforehand that the business address is going to
change, and allows the Foundation to leverage moving support from SF
Its a serious charge that is difficult to prove. The publicly released
financial statements are too general in nature to be useful. The only way to
prove/disprove this allegation and head off others is for the Foundation to
become more transparent. It is natural for people to come to assumptions

Well, yeah, that's been confirmed actually. They have 11000 sq ft, plus
3000 sq ft, plus whatever they have at Wikia, and they only need the 11000
sq ft. Maybe they haven't moved in on the 11000 sq ft yet

We should stop feeding the troll, especially this particular species of
