Agree that a further collaboration with internet archives on this could be
an excellent solution as I imagine they already do much of it.

The archival question is a good one. The wikiverse could use a more
archival gloss, and currently regularly breaks links where a slight
commitment to longer term reliably would preserve them intact. Nathan: long
term preservation is not yet part of the projects' raison d'etre. Perhaps
Lethargy, indecision, internal strife, and an abiding commitment to
self-enrichment and constant bureaucratic growth? Isn't that what every
maturing community with more than a handful of participants grows up to be?

Philippe you are absolutely correct. Whilst I never commented on the
importance of any individual on this list nor the questioned the record of

This. What Risker said. Fae raises a fair point. And while the Foundation
certainly does not make policy based off of small discussions on mailing

decisions about what policy to make.

Well, I think perhaps Fae's question may be considered more generally. Fae

Olá,
É essencial que façamos uma reunião de direcção o mais brevemente possível,
para tratar destes assuntos:
- Votação para o conselho de administração da WMF (escolha dos
candidatos q apoiamos)
- Aplicação aos Strategy Salons para discussão da Estratégia 2030 ao

I think that the mobile Suggested Edits feature and the related analysis
are interesting. I am forwarding text from that discussion.
Also, I was happy to see the recognition of two new user groups. They are
the WikiClassics User Group and the Wikimédiens du Bénin User Group.

Because the Wikimedia Foundation doesn't make long term strategic decisions
based off of a 4 person discussion on a mailing list.
I really don't know why people keep being surprised by this.

It appears that the team doing the uploads failed to comply to wiki

I think that raising the question here is fine. I also think that it is
more WMF's responsibility to be responsive than community members'
responsibility to guess where and how to ask questions.
In general (this is not intended as a criticism of you, Dan) my view is
that WMF has a very mixed

You are right, Asaf. It seems that getting the sysop bit is much harder now

of those same people being in control of those processes.

Really? can you provide a link to a policy age proving that assertion?
Your claim rather makes a mockery of the
Any image recognition system has the potential to be misused. What we
imagined was flagging images for the later attention of volunteers to
look at.
A simple image hash might just be the basis for identifying potential
close matches to previously deleted files or derivatives of existing
Commons
In this case none of the images and videos were published outside Commons. But
there were claims that this were Derivative Works. We are again in the same
point: we are asking for uploaders to fulfill something beyond the usual
uploading duties.
