I had previously wrote an email suggesting we
standardize the tag lines accompanying the logos at
meta. The problem surfaced at EN Wikipedia when after
six months of reading Wikisource The free library, the
tag line was changed during the Main Page redesign.
At the time I wrote I had thought the situation was
cooled off. It seems that was premature. Things have
flared up now at Template talk:WikipediaSister.
Neither side is going to convince the other at this
point. Truly how the projects are represented is a
Foundation decision. This situation will not be
resolved until the Foundation makes that decision, or
declares who the decision should be delegated to.

Hi Birgitte,
I don't see how the decision can be meaninfully made by anyone *but*
the community themselves, ie in this case, Wikisource. But I don't
know who would make this decision at the Foundation level, maybe the
board, maybe Jimbo himself.
I don't want to re-ignite the debate, but I'll make my own comment. I
followed the discussion more or less before and I've read the page you
linked to. I liked the 'compromise' of "free-content library", but
then I realised that all Wikimedia projects are free content. "The
free library" is fine, and, bottom line, it's what Wikisource have
already agreed on. If/when they agree on another, it'll be changed, as
has already been said.
