Note from the list administrators:

After much consideration, we decided to permit this single response by the other side of the Brazil dispute that has been brought up on this list earlier this month. You are welcome to read the substance of that response at the link provided, but you are asked to refrain from discussing it further on this list.

Technical note: The post asserts it is "authorized by the Wikimedia list administrators". This should be understood to mean only that we agreed to allow a post with a link to their response, since the other side of this dispute got to post their concerns on this list before we shut down that thread. We asked that this post be made on that original thread (where it belongs and where it would be findable by any future search), and *not* to start a new thread. We understand it was technically difficult for the poster (who was not subscribed to this list before) to reply to that thread, so we've let this post through.

Again, we think this dispute cannot be usefully pursued or resolved on this list, and ask both sides to leave it at that *on this list*, and to continue (if they must) on the other channels this is already being pursued on.

Thanks,

Asaf Bartov (volunteer capacity) On behalf of the Wikimedia-l administrators

The RIDC NeuroMat is happy to provide further information on its response to the defamatory campaign launched by the Wikimedia affiliate Wiki Educação Brasil. Further inquiries should be addressed to comunicacao@ numec.prp.usp.br , not this list.
