I've commented at length already on why this is the wrong approach; and forces us into an even more insular community with greater biases (you only have to look at the different ways that different language Wiki's present topics to understand how little "neutrality" we have. There is a bias; it's just that each community agrees on it). This is a vicious circle that ignores our readers (who are a much wider cross section) and leaves a somewhat close minded and inaccessible community that believes it is the pillar of neutrality :) I can't ASSUME > things about non-participants.

I am going to guess this will again go unanswered and un-actioned :) Tom _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
