The Funds Dissemination Committee was originally proposed by Sue to the board with explicit support for both groups and individuals,[1] but at some point after, all mention of individual editors was removed.[2]
Could someone please say whether this was the decision of the board, someone else's decision, or a mistake? I ask because I have reason to believe that about 18% of English Wikipedia administrators are living below the poverty line, and it seems that support for such individual editors is reasonable. Local fire departments and the International Red Cross both have paid personnel and volunteer staff working alongside each other without any motivational crowding.
