Manpower that is unbelievable to the wider Wikimedia
community. But now, and this just not about
Porchesia, when en.WP has a problem. When en.WP has
this problem it is brought straight to this list to
ask the attention and help of this wider Wikimedia
community. Now any other project, tries their hardest
to solve a problem themselves before coming here. But
en.WP with their massive resources and manpower.
en.WP skips the step of working on the problem within
the project and comes straight here to use the
resources of the wider Wikimedia community. And the
wider Wikimedia community is supposed to work on this
with the hope there might be some carryover to their
own home project. Still when the home project has a
problem, they are not given answers and solutions. I
was told to "adjust my expectations to reality". Many
others are told that they must figure it out "within
the community". But no one except en.WP comes here
until they exhausted the ability of thier home
community. I am just asking that en.WP approach this
list as every other project in the wider Wikimedia
community does.
You speak as if Danny's message going here was anything to do with
some implied collective laziness on the part of en:wp as an amorphous
mass, rather than entirely Danny's own personal decision. Me, I'm
somewhat surprised he didn't send it to wikien-l at all.
