The content of the bylaws are very disturbing. It sees like a executive club purposely made to leave some people leave. The Wikipedia culture is quite open and this kind of policies is made by some people nd passed in a small amount of window gives only bad vibes to the other Wiki community. Accept my Condolences to all people who got thrown out of the user group because some people decided to make all about "number of edits". As if that is the only thing a member can contribute towards progress of Wikimedia.
If you have read the bylaws carefully, you can see that the user group is open to all Wikimedia account holders, who can become
General members just by signing up. No one is thrown out as you say. To become a representative of the user group, a general member needs to pass some criteria, which was set up after community consultation, because representing user group in a forum is a serious affair. The user group decided to take account of online editing for representative membership, because a person who edits and work online with the community closely understands the issues and dynamics of the community better than who doesn't. No one objected to that when that article was raised for discussion. Byt the way, what is the executive club anyway? Never heard of it.
Even sad is people are congratulating instead of expressing concerns over the type of bullying done openly to Wikimedians of West Bengal. I am happy thati left its nd I not there in it animore
Can you please refer where the bullying was done to Wikimedians of West Bengal regarding the bylaws, where everyone congratulated in stead of expressing concerns? We had opened up the draft for community consultation for one month (see
talk page) and had online meetups for general members. I cant remember any bullying in any discussion. I remember each and every user who participated in the discussions, but there was no user named Samir or likewise. Maybe I am having some memory loss again and others can help me remember better.
Sorry to hear that you are not there anymore, but you are not where? Can you please specify. I have just checked the
history of the general members, couldn't find anyone with user name Samir. May be you have a different user name, but that I don't know.
It is to say that the editors working in wiki data are not having any knolej. And other of them are disqalified. This is nothing more than hitlership and if they are going in this way, the User Group, then I am sad for everyone who have to go through this harassment.
Where did you learn that the user group stated that the editors working in Wikidata have no knowledge? Please cite that. Do you even know that one of the main arena of work of the user group is to improve Wikidata entries of different aspects of West Bengal. If you don't know that, consider checking
Wikidata:WikiProject West Bengal. Anyway, please keep your false assumptions with you.
"Ache din aayenge", I guess inisited of goin further, we are only going in back.
The bylaw was passed after community consultation and with full agreement with the general members who attended the meetup regarding the bylaw. Although you didn't take time to discuss when it was being done, but still If you have any recommendation or suggestion or grievances, you are always welcome to suggest that in the talk page of the bylaw, so that maybe, Representative Committee can consider them, in future to move the user group forward.
Your mail had baseless allegations against user group without any references. Next time, please at least find some references and at least provide your user name, so that everyone can understand your contribution and motive. Otherwise dont expect a reply.
