[Wikipedia-l] Requests page

[James R. Johnson]

If the wiki request gets past a certain date with no action, it seems to
make sense to move it to an archive.  Just need a policy for that, if there
isn't one already.

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Requests page

Dear fellow list subscribers,

Yesterday I had the unpleasant experience that Mark Williamson scolded me 
for "Censor" and "Thought police". The reason was that I had deleted some of

the requests on the Requests for new languages page on meta 
(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages), and 
subsequently he placed most of them back, along with some other ones that 
had been removed by long, and not by me.

As a matter of facts, I got /furious/ and if Mark had stood right before me 
I would have spit into his face. Later however, he eludicated the reason why

he placed them back, and we seem to agree on more things than I thought at 
first. The page /is/ really getting overloaded with requests and becomes too

long. The difference was, he wanted to keep them anyway.

I may opinion, the right solution is to cut-and-paste them to an archive, 
newly to be created. I could very well create it right now, but thanks to 
Mark's great action I am unsure whether this wil be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Incompetent, inautoritive censor and thought police Wouter Steenbeek.

Btw: it seems perhaps a little inappropriate to discuss this meta topic on 
the Wikipedia mailing list, but since the topic is realted to the creation 
of new Wikipedias I took the liberty to post it here.
