That is your opinion. In my opinion, it is the will of the Wikimedia
community as a whole which counts. Wikimedia is a global project. It's
not up to the French Wikimedia community to decide by majority that
they don't want Wikinews, unless they have France-specific reasons for
not wanting it. And I am supported in this both by policy and by
statements of the Board to this effect, when I asked them this very
question two months ago. Yes, I asked the Board whether we should
treat the French Wikinews differently from the others because of the
way the vote went, and the answer was no - I can document this with
IRC chatlogs if necessary.
Yes, please do. Some of us would very much like to know why this was so
clear to you, based on your communications with the Board, and
apparently not clear to Anthere, given that she is part of this same Board.
