Paid editing is addressed in the WMF terms of service and is a problem that
has confronted or will confront most of the prominent projects in the
movement. An alert to an RfC regarding principles of broader import, and a
small amount of linked discussion, seems to be a perfectly reasonable use
of the list. Wikimedia-L need not be only announcements, messages of thanks
and congratulations, and grousing about etiquette or WMF internal politics.

Yes, it's a very quiet list. However, I'm an
advocate of being mindful of
scope. I've long advocated for wiki-specific discussions to happen on the
wiki and/or mailing lists which are best suited to them rather than
Wikimedia-l unless an issue is escalating to a meta-type discussion. This
is one of those discussions that, from my perspective, is best suited for a
different venue. I'm not a list moderator though, so this is just a
request/suggestion.

That said, because the scope of this RfC is specific to ENWP, I believe
that the best list for an email discussion would probably be WikiEN-l.
Thanks,

James,
The proper body to ask this question is Ombudsmen Commission.

Hey All
On the English Wikipedia we are having a RfC regarding what is allowed
when
trying to address undisclosed paid promotional
editing.
