Hello WMF

We agree with the previous posters RYAN about lack of transparency, and COMPLETE INEFFICIENCY and arrogance in communications by/to/with your communities and volunteers.

Please inform and educate why anonymous WMF communities are writing false, concocted and fabricated articles about our organisation replete with fabricated images, evidently to profit by donations to WMF {Hosting provider} from Indian citizens to be given into SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS in complete violation of Indian law by these HUGE SIZE BANNERS which are highly intrusive.

See this image as evidence http://www.imagesup.net/?di=014176874722

Please indicate when WMF will comply with Indian cyber law to appoint a Grievance Officer http://delhihighcourt.nic.in/dhcqrydisp_O.asp?pn=163416&yr=2013 and verifiably stop Indian children under 13 from registering accounts and becoming admins.

What you should actually be upset about is the lack of transparency regarding fundraising statistics. Ryan very politely asked for these statistics and the response was essentially "we've got higher priorities right now," which of course is complete rubbish. Of course we're keeping detailed logs of incoming donations, there's no extra burden there. And of course people are e-mailing internally and creating internal reports. But this information isn't being shared and we really must address this.

Nobody is suggesting that the fundraising team kills small furry animals and I think everyone involved in this discussion (including and perhaps especially those who are paid or were paid by donations) recognizes the thankless and stressful job that the fundraising team has. But in the face of active damage to Wikimedia's brand and reputation, after repeated and lengthy discussions about the issues with obnoxious, misleading, and obtrusive donation advertising, it's unsurprising that people are annoyed.
