Hello, Please check this report, while I don't really agree with what's said here in any way, I am worried because we volunteers don't know what steps are being taken if any. I won't be surprised if WMF is more interested in collecting funds from fundraising and ignoring high court and the backlash. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bkwkylx0KcfSGnyVkhEApeJfIkTwVdjf/view?usp=drive_link They are even writing on Google and Wikimedia Foundation and calling our editors anti-national. This needs to be stopped. Subhashish, while it may be easy for you to dismiss these issues while taking asylum in Canada, please see the emotional torture this takes on other sincere editors and volunteers in India. After years of passionate volunteering, they now find themselves unjustly shamed. This is absolutely ridiculous. I am loyal to both my country and to Wikipedia - they are intertwined in my heart. Yet, I find myself increasingly disappointed with the actions—or inactions—of certain Wikimedia employees. It is high time look beyond Wiki Conference India plans and take sensible meaningful actions. Our community deserves better.
