Hi Donor services,
I'm confused. EE is a public email list. Why would a donor's name and email content be sent here? Did the donor consent to this? Also, what was the purpose of sending this email to EE? This appears to have been some kind of mistake.
Thanks, Pine

OK. I'll consider a donation. And, if Wikipedia Editors can become more helpful and accommodating to folks like me, perhaps I'll consider more! (Trying to participate is downright painful right now.)

Hm, is the donate@ email address automatically forwarding emails to EE? If so, this is a problem. Can someone look into this ASAP?

Mailman mailing lists have online archives. Looking at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2014-December/date.html , it appears unlikely that donate@ automatically forwards to this list.
And: I know you're just trying to help, but before CC'ing various busy people who have nothing to do with this issue (why not include Lila too?), please do some more research on who might have.
Thank you!

Let's move to a new thread so we don't keep compounding the data protection issue, yes?
Hi Pine,
Thanks for reporting this issue, which is concerning indeed.
As a former product manager for the Editor Engagement team, I still have admin privileges for this list.
But I do not know how to remove a message that was posted in the public archives, such as this one:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2014-December/001329.html
If someone could teach me how, I would be happy to do remove the messages on this thread.
I defer to others with more technical knowledge to identify the root cause of this issue.
My colleagues and I will discuss this internally and will report back here once we have a solution.
Be well,
Fabrice

I'm confused. EE is a public email list. Why would a donor's name and email content be sent here? Did the donor consent to this? Also, what was the purpose of sending this email to EE? This appears to have been some kind of mistake.
Thanks, Pine

You need access to the mailman server to remove messages from the mailman archives - so you basically need to be ops.
Removing archived messages is a terrible idea[0], breaks all archive links for the list, and I very much doubt ops will do it unless legally obligated to do so. Even if they did, it would be pointless because there is already at least one third party mirror[1].

Hi Pine,
Thanks for reporting this issue, which is concerning indeed.
As a former product manager for the Editor Engagement team, I still have admin privileges for this list.
But I do not know how to remove a message that was posted in the public archives, such as this one:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ee/2014-December/001329.html
If someone could teach me how, I would be happy to do remove the messages on this thread.
I defer to others with more technical knowledge to identify the root cause of this issue.
My colleagues and I will discuss this internally and will report back here once we have a solution.
Be well,
Fabrice

That can only be done by a root. It's sometimes more destructive to the rest of the archives than we're willing to accept and always takes a substantial amount of a root's time. oh, and it disrupts delivery of new messages during the surgery.

Thanks very much, Fabrice.
