So Based on the the Archives Jesse and Casey graciously provided the link
to, the only discussion about Masry I found was:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_subcommittee/Archives/2008-07#Wikip…
When I raised the issue of Masry on this mailing list, raising what I
thought was valid concerns, and at the same times others were raising such
concerns on meta, Gerard's response was, and I quote:
I have indicated that the language
committee was unanimous in deciding that the Egyptian
Arabic Wikipedia
request was eligible.
As indicated earlier, all members of the language
committee were explicitly asked to consider the issue
that you raise. The
consequence of this is that in my opinion you refuse people the freedom to
work on a project in their language, languages that are eligible under the
language policy of the WMF.
Per above link, I see a discussion only between two members (Gerard and
Jon). I am pretty confused how did that constitute a 'unanimous decision'.
Wouldn't that be a gross mis-characterization?
Wouldn't refusal to point me to archived discussion *then*
mis-characterizing what really happened on the list be grounds for some kind
of audit?
Forgive me If I am wrong, but that is the only information I have to work
on, if I am wrong, I apologize to Gerard.
Best Regards,
Muhammad Alsebaey
