I don't want to seem rude, as I'm sure it's difficult and I understand the
election committee are volunteers, but why is it that things seem to be
going wrong this year?

This is strange - in times past, we have had only 3 ombudsmen at a time, and
now we have five. Are they all fairly active? Do they want to continue this

Hi all
I just came across this[1] policy on Commons, which states that from today,
non-free content is going to be allowed to be uploaded on Commons. I'm
rather shocked that this was pushed through without any notice here, or
anywhere, and it has become policy, going against Wikimedia's "free cont

of new editors in, which was both good and bad (we desperately need more
good editors, but not vandals!)

As long as a project has an active community, there really is no good reason

Proposals to close Simple English projects are like the perennial proposals
of Wikipedia: not going to happen. As long as a project has an active
community, there really is no good reason to close a project. OK, Simple
English might not meet current standards for language, but it has an active

Er, the community was notified. Not by the proposer, but by someone else.
They do know about it though. No issue here.
