Having trouble posting. Trying again:
We had a banner last year to raise funds for the WMF. Unsure if anyone has
suggested this yet but how about running a banner to encourage our readers
to: 1) add content 2) correct spelling 3) revert vandalism?
I have asked many people about their use of Wik

After looking for about 2 minutes at the linked Recommendations to the
Board of Trustees/Draft 2, I found numerous grammatical and
typographic errors in the statement. However, I am disinclined to
chip in and help correct these

Interesting that just yesterday the Russian Wikipedia arbcom has banned
the founder and the only admin of Russian Wikiversity from editing the
Wikipedia namespace for systematic disruptive behavior (not related to his
Wikiversity activity).

Well, he doesn't get much support when he does that kind of thing o
What I mean is that there are specialized forums both on and off wiki. We
used to discuss individual users and their behavior here. Now that would
be on a Noticeboard or a request for arbitration, and yes on a private
list. This list just doesn't handle everything anymore.

I think Fred meant that rather than being on Foundation-l, they've
moved to appropriate places on the various wikis. Correct me if I'm

I gather there was posting of information which someone determined was
harmful to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation and the suggestion is
being made to take that stuff somewhere else, or else. From the

What's going on over at Wikiversity? Jimmy Wales has now been threatened
with a block by someone who seems to be an admin in good standing, and he
responds that he has "the full support of the Wikimedia Foundation". Is

I hardly think this is a "killed" list. If I've got my emails straight, the
"soft limit" of 30 emails per month was implemented November 13th, 2009.
