This position can only be based remotely from the following states: CA, OR, OH, NV, NC, WA, WI, CO, MA, PA, NY, HI, or MT.

I don't think the posting itself is inappropriate. It's Wikimedia-related business, and that, broadly, is what this list is for. Still, the use of ALL CAPS for a subject which will only be of relevance to a small fraction of readers is indeed a bit much. (And that's true even beyond geography; I live in Colorado, but I'm not interested in such a position.) So, I think that particular complaint is valid. Use regular case, and let the reader decide whether it's of importance to them.

As a long time on and off subscriber to this list for many years, I want to say that I do find posts about jobs like this very useful, unlike posts complaining about capitalization and geography. It is informative and exciting to find out where Wikipedia projects are making in-roads, and what better place to find an experienced job candidate who will respect community norms and policies while editing on behalf of an employer.
