I really wish the Office representatives would stop advocating
flagrantly bad sourcing practices.
While talking about it: Were the statements made by Cary Bass, WMF
Volunteers Coordinator or by bastique, Wikipedian? And: Is every
statement made by bastique through the @wikimedia.org-address an
official statement by the volunteer coordinator? (I would not use the
term "office representative" here, rather
"foundation-representative")

These are made by myself individually. I'm not listed on the WP:OFFICE
page and have never been officially recognized as having OFFICE authority.
I am still a volunteer on the Wikimedia project, still work on External
Correspondence, and I still have feelings as a human being, and still
get insulted just like everyone else.
