I never authorized an "In Association
With" heading and am happy to
suggest alternatives, and Angela is correct that the "Visit our
sponsors" link (which refers to the Google ads above it) was
misleading; again, I gave no authorization for that. In any case, as
you may recall, you appointed me as "Wikimedia Foundation Content
Partnership Co-ordinator" on February 18, 2004, which I (it turns
out, wrongly) believed at least gave me some additional leeway to do
these things.
If I dare say something here... I do not think this position is
mentionned anywhere. At least, it is not cited on meta, nor on the
foundation website. As far as I am concerned, this position
unfortunately does not exist. But I see where the confusion stands of
course. Perhaps it should be discussed by the board as well as which
liberty of decision it provides ?
I recall this appointment as well---Jimbo explicitly appointed Erik to
the position. Doesn't the Foundation president have the authority to
make appointments of that sort? If so, it would seem that someone
should update the foundation website.
