Aude - Thank you!! If there is anything we can do to help out, please let us
know. As I said, when I was informed, I was deeply disturbed. I can't speak
for everyone here, but myself and I am sure many other women/men on this
list, have your back on this. Whatever you need, please let us know.
Would it help if people from this list shared their opinion on the D.C.
mailing list? Or are you guys basically on it? (I want to help you guys, not
make it harder or more annoying). If so, I might actually write something
up, and ask that those that are on this list sign it (if they want to of
course).
THANK YOU AGAIN!!! Very refreshing and inspiring to see this being nipped in
the butt.

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.
We, the DC chapter, recognize and are discussing these concerns from you
and others.
Essentially we had no minimum voting requirements (we're changing our
bylaws to fix this) and a shortage of candidates which allowed essentially
anyone to be elected. (Personally I am not happy about that)
We welcome your voice to discuss this or any concerns on our internal
list, which is public and open to all:

Cheers,

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.
