The critique of Ms. Tsouroupidou reminded of this situation a few years ago which left a sour taste in my mouth: viewtopic.php?p=174755#p174755

(I initially tried to comment on the blog post itself but I don't think it worked, maybe I'm just dumb)

Haven't read through the entire e-mail above but the machine translation looks okay. French is usually an easily-machine-translated language. If there is anything you have doubts about lemme know (native French speaker here).

Salvidrim

"Bad WMF Grants person" vs. "WMBE Treasurer" - the e-mail above seems like to went to almost superhumans lengths to avoid names.

I know that on a personal level it's none of our business, but given how all of this looks nepotism-wise, it's hard not to see this as crucial information with respect to this incident. I'd personally feel way more comfortable with the selfies being posted if there was actually some evidence LH was...

Also GD did post about it. https://genderdesk.wordpress.com/2019/06/12/you-rang-the-fram-thing/ She's suggesting we have insufficient evidence for the claim that Ms. Sefidari and Ms. Hale are in a romantic relationship. Admittedly, this has been an issue for us in the past - we even deleted a threa...

Laura Hale doesn't speak Spanish, even a little. Think she lives in Madrid now. And? Is she ready to translate English articles into Spanish wiki? I suspect she's as lazy about language immersion as she is everything else. Having seen attempts by French people now living in English-speaking places ...

Salvidrim

The role of WMF Board Member Maria Sefidari, who is or was Laura Hale's significant other, in all this deserves serious scrutiny. I would be very, very appreciative if you could detail how you determined this to be the case, (especially if it's something I can repost on-wiki) as it certainly casts ...

Salvidrim

On the other hand: Salvidrim is, as I understand it, a bit of an "anti-privacy" guy: he prefers to be open about his online identity. He perhaps didn't appreciate GW's posts, but I doubt that he thought of it as "outing". He is a member here, and can clarify his stance. Wikipedia outing policy is f...

Also, the domain was up for renewal and could have expired literally this very week if Zoloft had decided to go into a medically-induced coma (apparently he does this occasionally just "for kicks").

Welcome back GW. I don't think a random link to an unrelated twitter post means much, for context you might need to explain. Which pretty much proves my point above that you were responding to. Someone needs to actually read stuff before criticizing.... The most useful thing she ever did is give th...

Salvidrim

Nope that one is indeed not me, but I also know that most of the WMFers, Arbs and other assorted nitwits don't believe me when I say that either. For what it's worth though, I found out about that Email from a friend who still works at the WMF who is apparently one of the people on the Email list t...

Salvidrim

Since my name was mentioned specifically above I want to clarify something and you can choose to believe me or not but that is just one of several examples of someone Joe Jobbing me over the past several months. Some people already know about this and it has happened multiple times in the past to m...

Salvidrim

When you are on the committee there is always a steady stream of emails. Even when there is not much happening on wiki. Thankfully now not as many as in 2009 but still many that require thought and discussion. Vague, nonspecific details would be welcome as a lot of us outsiders have no clue what su...

I was still trying to work out the best way to find either: all editors blocked in June 2015, or all editors with '13' in the name (any hints there, surely there is an easy way to do this?). But then got distracted by Salvidrim's connecting the dots from what Tarc said. Having said that, this does ...

Salvidrim

Of course he was asked in the current election as well, but there's not much to see in in his answer Not all that uncommon for people to cling to numerical fixations across identities, so...who was banned in June 2015, username ending in "13" ? :iknowiknow: .... Holy shit. :jawdrop: Are you serious...

Salvidrim

Am I reading that right? A sitting candidate in the election (User:BU Rob13) generated a list of voters to be used to determine who is eligible to vote, says it is not perfect but "better than nothing", and offers it up to the election commissioners for them to use. How is that acceptable? (Mainly ...

Wonder if they meant to say "a founder" or "the founder"? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I think that's precisely the point, I read Bináris' question as asking how to track these actions to prevent overloading or useless expense of server resources or something.

Salvidrim

As far as I understand, Salvidrim has anti-privacy views: namely that if one doesn't have secrets online, they can't be used against you. That is broadly accurate. I do understand why some people currently feel the need for privacy and I'm hoping for improvements of the issues that lead people to s...

Salvidrim

That was pretty much my point but. 'crats rarely have any non-public info handed to them but it has happened a few times in the context of rename/vanish requests and resysoppings.

Salvidrim

Thanks for including my response

Yea it's part of the reason I changed my "attending for sure" to "not attending event itself but will meet up Wikimedian friends around town" despite literally living in Montreal

My first (baseless) guess is that it might have been a trademark infringement suit from WMF over the use of the word Wikipedia

There's only so much I can put in a thread title. If an admin wants to edit "neo-nazi" to "far-right", be my guest. Also note I didn't intend to label Magister as such myself, I only intended to reflect the stated reasons for the resignations

The only way I use Reddit is by making my own topical "multireddits" (one for TV, one for gaming, one for porn, one for funny stuff, one for ISP/techy stuff, etc.) and I assumed it's what most actual users did as well, but apparently /r/all is a lot more used than I thought.

Shouldn't we really promote voting oppose on New York Brad because even if the consensus is that he'd do a fine job, I think he's more then earned his retirement from that cesspool.
