Re: Interview: Wikipedia usability and test results

I would appreciate, if we do not put cultural non-universal April 1 
jokes on an international list.

Perhaps you had fun, I have none.

Non-free content on Commons

Hi all

I just came across this[1] policy on Commons, which states that from today,
non-free content is going to be allowed to be uploaded on Commons. I'm
rather shocked that this was pushed through without any notice here, or
anywhere, and it has become policy, going against Wikimedia's "free content"
philosophy. Can people please input on the talk page as soon as possible
please, so we can get this reversed.

Thanks,

Re: [WikiEN-l] Flagged revs poll take 2

Well, the poll was closed with 80% support. It probably should have been
extended, if for no other reasons than that votes continued to come in at a
pretty good clip and there is no pressing reason to close it on deadline.

If I were a developer or a WMF executive, I might pause at implementing a
proposal for quite significant change on the English Wikipedia based on a
poll with only 320 participants.

Apparently.  As I have no desire to have my time wasted by such abuse
of the mailing list, I've created a filter to delete any future
e-mails from Al Tally (with whom my interactions have been uniformly
negative).

Yes, because December 28 isn't the traditional day for such things. As
long as it is just one day a year, it's a bit of fun. If people
started doing it on random days, obviously it would be annoying.
