Hello everyone. As a few of you may know, about 5 weeks ago some new guidelines were put into place on meta for the IRC channel #wikipedia. At the same time, the operator access list for the channel was emptied and started from scratch. The changes were quite unpopular, to say the least. A discussion thread was started about them on the foundation-l mailing list, but probably should have been started on wikipedia-l. Now that I am back from my holiday, I have opened a review discussion about the guidelines on their talk page on meta, which you can access at the follow URL: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:IRC_guidelines/wikipedia I would very much appreciate the input there of all people who have an interest in the guidelines, and indeed any users of the Wikipedia-affiliated IRC channels on Freenode. ~Mark Ryan _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
