Hello Florence,
Thank you for bringing this up and collecting all this feedback.
Here's the announcement of the new P2P proxy blocks on English Wikipedia,
it includes information about the origin of the blocks for this particular
proxy service:

Thank you for the Election Compass!
While the quantitative ranking was not very useful for me, these clear
statements and concise answers by all candidates helped me a lot in the
decision, and also the Election Compass tool was quite decent to explore
them. The process of wider community input to
Fully agree with Mike.
Also, rather than focusing on how different voting schemes would have
affected some candidates to be one position up or down, wider diversity and
representativity could be achieved by just electing 8 seats from community
elections.

I don't think these lobbying activities would get a wide community
consensus. Even the blackout for the EU produced a fair share of
controversy within some Wikimedia projects, and it was actually related to
our core mission.
The recommendations from the second iteration are available now:

Since the WMF has an ongoing partnership with SurveyMonkey [1][2], the WMF
could review their possible abuse of Wikipedia ToS and, if confirmed,

There, is at least, one user that works for Go Fish Digital with a
sockpuppet account in English Wikipedia and has denied conflict of interest
or paid editing disclosure even if he was asked too, since some user was
suspicious. Should I send this privately? I don't want to incur in spurious

lobby here, because that's exactly what I'm opposing:
using the WMF and affiliates to lobby for political positions beyond its
mission.

Hi,
"a legal change on that would have given the LGBT community the right to

If I read correctly, this is simply not true. It denied the right to use
gestational surrogacy. They can adopt though.
Note that gestational surrogacy is not a simple issue and it is highly
political. I'
