wm-pressr-l

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello Zanimum. A while back you added^[1] wm-pressr-l (the 'Wikimedia press release mailing list') to Press room, but the link returns 'No such list'. Has the list been discontinued, or is the link broken from the recent change of addresses? Brion notes that there's no trace of it on either of the list servers, so I've removed it until we can get a working link up. —Pathoschild 02:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I don't know why I did that. I believe at one time I was suggesting such a list exist, but I don't see why I would have added it to a live page, instead of a test one. Thanks for noticing this. -- Nicholas Moreau / Zanimum 17:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the quick confirmation. —Pathoschild 02:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I'm working on cleaning up this wiki a bit. I've proposed the following pages for deletion. I'm notifying you as you're listed in the page history. Without objection, the pages listed below will be deleted in about a month. Thanks for all of your work here.

Sorry, I didn't see your message at the time. I have no objections. —Pathoschild 14:23, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll ask a member of fundraising staff to delete the pages, as it looks like the clean up is their responsibility now! Thehelpfulone 15:18, 11 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Apology for removal of admin rights

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Pathoschild, I'm sorry for the abrupt removal of admin rights on this wiki, which wasn't announced in advance. We've been talking internally for a while about making the governance structure of this wiki more clear, i.e., decisions regarding content and practices in this wiki are ultimately up to WMF staff. There may be projects during which it makes sense to assign temporary adminship to volunteers, as well, but we wanted to start with a clear separation of roles and responsibilities.

I apologize, though, for the hasty implementation of this decision! I didn't intend to express any disrespect or distrust. On the contrary, I'm very grateful for all the work you and other volunteers have done on the Wikimedia Foundation wiki over the years, and I hope you won't be too discouraged by this experience. I'll be posting an update about the next steps for wikimediafoundation.org on the wikimedia-l mailing list soon.

Please do reach out to me if there's anything else I can do. Gyoung (talk) 04:45, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi Gayle. Don't worry, no harm was done. :) —Pathoschild 14:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
