saying you suspend all your work untill this is resolved will not help, this is a community matter not a foundation matter. -- Regards, Huib "Abigor" Laurens Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

Forwarded to the list on behalf of a non-member (Mstislavl). ---- In reality the "Border Control Philosophy" has nothing to do with criticism of the project or administration. This is a Rissian version of what Jimbo said after blocking some trolls in the English Wikiversity: Strong community does not come from an «anything goes» attitude — but from rallying around a set of principles that define the mission in such a way that productive work can be accomplished. And the Russian Wikiversity Story is indeed a replica but a replica of English Wikiversity's one. People who can not effectively push their agenda in Wikipedia because of the strong community there migrate to the Wikiveristy where they can do whatever they want and the big part of that is attacking admins on Wikipedia. Sergey J who blocked Yaroslav also issued a number of arbitrary warnings to the active Russian Wikipedia contributors (not all of tehm admins) for their actions in Wikipedia, and they have no idea about these. This is clearly a cross-project issue because the same trolls pop up on meta and in a thousand of other places wasting everybody's time. Victoria (Mstislavl)
