P.S. Are the staff members of members of Congress who edit their rivals' pages also members?

According to what should be, what was originally intended, what the bylaws say, or what the reality of the situation is?
Depending, I'd say no, yes, maybe, or no.
You're on the Wikimedia staff. Are their names in the "membership book containing, in alphabetical order, the name and address of each member"? (see the Florida Statutes 617.0601(4) and 617.1601(3)).

Interesting.
I had no idea that membership would be regulated by state law. I will have to check up on Oregon State Regulations regarding non profits.
Thanks for the info.

Absolutely! Might want to encourage their debates to move to Wikiversity if they get too energetic or propagandist for Wikipedia's dignified sieving for nuggets of neutral knowledge.
Just imagine the draw if a couple of professional windbags like Murtha and Bush, or key staff members, with all their insider access to information were to go at it in a Wikiversity War College's political seminar space.
Besides, all standard catcalling aside, I think you have to be a human being to collect a paycheck from a Congressman's payroll. Therefore they are within our stated scope and mission.
