I see. Presenting your statement in that context, as though it was your comment on that particular content, was not quite appropriate. It made it sound as though you were saying the Wikimedia Foundation in the US was actively curating that content, rather than an international community of volunteers. I'd point that out to them.
And now I see your concern. You're right. That anyone can edit and that Wikipedia has been based on volunteer efforts from the outset has been among my major talking points, of course. I made that clear in today's follow-up media inquiries. And no, I never refer to the WMF as curating content. On a side note, though: I do point out to people that the Foundation is hosting the Wikimedia projects, especially when I feel that inquiries take a turn towards legal questions. I don't interfere there and from my experience most people refrain from taking their stuff the WMF legal team. If they don't, they're serious, and then the legal team people are the right folks to deal with it. If they do, they weren't serious in the first place. Best Michael
