For what it's worth, I agree with David Gerard that Open Wiki Blog Planet is not properly subject to Wikipedia policies;
Not even the policies at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_page ? How's that going to work?
I don't see anything there that applies to the way the Open Wiki Blog Planet feed list is done, and if it did conflict, as David suggested, the way to resolve it would be to move the page to another wiki rather than censor bloggers.
But as John Vandenberg points out in the other thread, the removal had nothing to do with ArbCom, and we are of course free to decide which blogs we as a community do and don't want as part of the feed. It's my view, though, that we shouldn't feel compelled to remove a blog because of the policies of English Wikipedia.
