As people may (or may not) have noticed, I haven't posted to this list (or any other Wikimedia mailing list except the UK one) since the list was taken off moderation a month ago. For my observations and thoughts during that month and my suggestions for the future, please see the first post on my new blog:

Have you added your new blog to Open Wiki Blog Planet and the Wikimedia aggregator?

I've asked for it to be added to Planet Wikimedia. I've never heard of the other one.

The en:wp arbcom have started messing with the Open Wiki Blog Planet, on the pretext that if the control page is on en:wp then they must own it. Suggest moving control page to Meta.

I removed David Shankbone's blog because the most recent blog post (at the time) was excessively nasty towards a living person who we have a biography about.
My edit was in no way an Arbcom edit. It even came after I resigned from en:wp Arbcom.

David Shankbone subsequently _deleted_ that post from his blog.
I have a saved copy of the deleted blog post in case anyone wants to review whether my edit was appropriate.
Suggest moving control page to Meta.
I can edit on Meta too.

Can you explain why you think you should decide what content is and is not displayed on an off-site blog aggregator? I'm just curious. The control page seems like a convenient way for people to sign themselves up, not an invitation to Wikipedia editors to intervene when they find some content inappropriate.

Nick set it up on a wiki so readers can edit it.
And they do.

I tried to filter David Shankbone's feed to only include his wiki related posts, but it didn't seem possible.
