Hello all, as I noticed you last week, today I turned some pages on the Wikimedia Foundation website into redirect to equivalent English pages.
I found one horrible think during my work, for compensation I would like you to help. In several languages Foundation was said "except a part time server administrator, employs no staff" ...
The pages turned to redirect were *About **Ko, Fr, It, De (see the above) *Board of Trustees **Ko, It, De (failed to reflect the recent change) *Our projects **Nl
I left Finnish "About" page for now, since Mzlla of Finnish Wikisource is willing to save this page and offered a help. Mzlla, do you think we have its new version at the end of this month?
I am discouraged by myself to turn Fr and other "About" pages updated in the last year into redirect, while its falsehood was apparent, other parts seem to be acceptable for me, even not accurate completely. However, I thought falsehood about expense cannot be compensated with any other virtue specially in this kind of introductory document, and finally decide to turn them into redirect to the original/En version. I long for help from those language translators.
As for "About" language pages, I need to say no other language is perfectly synched to the English version. Help needed to update Nl, Ja, Tr and Zh versions. Dutch version lacks mention to the Dutch chapter for example ... we would like to keep the page as accurate as possible, or not? So, "About" will be soon listed on TR in a high priority.
All pages can be restored with your translation on meta. Please visit [[m:TR/WMF]] and jump in the working place(s). http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/TR/WMF
There are other WMF site related requests on meta currently. "Current staff" and "News-en". Your help will be welcome.
Cheers,

It is our first step of overhaul and there may be several other pages we need to examine.
