It is not civil to spam people relentlessly about your inability to find your way from the airport to your hotel, particularly in a place like Singapore, and especially when you haven't even bothered to ask the organisers where your hotel is located.
Unlike you, I arranged my own accommodation and figured out for myself how to get there, as I always do when I visit Singapore. Please now be civil enough to refrain from spamming me any further. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Mabbett <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, 7 August 2023 5:06 AM To: Wikimania general list (open subscription) <[email protected]> Subject: [Wikimania-l] Re: Arrival and travel to hotel On Sun, 6 Aug 2023 at 20:41, effe iets anders <[email protected]> wrote: > In previous years, volunteer organizers went out of their way to > describe in extreme detail how to get to the accommodation/venue Indeed so - and such information has also in previous years been generously provided by Wikimedia volunteers who were not Wikimania organizers, but who were local to the event. Nobody complained when such questions were asked on this list. An exemplary example is the thread archived here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/ thread/2XF5VNDYJYSSZXTRXM7HJUVCOBLD5BUN/#CUJKPB6XIMR5M32GXMXITHU3WLSVBZLZ > That was great, but should not set an expectation for future > organizers to do the same I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I have no such expectations. The only pertinent expectation I have is that discourse on this and our other mailing lists will be conducted with more civility than I was shown today. > Whenever there are specific questions, it's of course always welcome to ask people - for example through this list.

My request was for "someone with local knowledge" to give an answer. [My only request to an organiser, when they said they would reply privately, was to do so here instead, so that others may benefit] _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
