Essentially, that someone has gotten a leadership position in the D.C.
chapter who has been banned from editing Wikipedia for year for things like
harassing people, disruptive behavior, and editing problems like copyright
violations.
Isn't the next Wikimania in D.C.? This sends out a horrible message to
people if its true - definitely not one of empowerment. this is a pretty
hardcore problem. If this is this the case, then i suggest that as a group,
we try to draw attention to this issue, or the location for Wikimania be
changed. Not only is this F-ed up for internal people, but I can't imagine a
reporter not jumping on this story. Obviously, this sends out a horrible
message to women everywhere including, in my opinion, giving the impression
that there are no repercussions for bad behavior.
Seriously f-ed up.

sooo, i've heard some buzz about what is
going on in the d.c. chapter, and
I've been thinking of writing a post about it, bc frankly if the buzz is
accurate, i'm a little disappointed. Does anyone know what is going on
there? Thought this might be a good place to ask before I open my big mouth.
