Yes Deryck, it is for Wikimedia to a great extent. But for the embassy, it won't make that much sense.

I'm just imagining now what I will lose if the wmf bans me from using their site indefinitely. Will I lose since I'm a volunteer?

A valid reason here should be a valid reason for both the embassy and the Wikimedia.

It is a valid blocking reason. It falls under the category of "cross-wiki abuse" in the clause "inappropriate use of user rights with access to private information". Wikimania is officially a Wikimedia project even though it's offline. ;)

It's also not at all a valid blocking reason, and shouldn't be one.

It's enough for me but I don't think that promise convices people in embassy.
