I very much appreciate the discussion about problem domains.
It would benefit WMF greatly if we had the following:
-List of problem domains (is there a page?)
-Petition engine to capture usernames against use of said domains
That will give us what we need to pursue action as laid out by Akash with a
minimum of WMF resources having to dedicate time to it.
Thanks.

thousand? I can guarantee a whole lot more than 1000. How about I
build a prototype site to handle the petition where people can
register their Wikipedia username as someone supporting the petition?
It wouldn't be too hard, and if we can find hosting with reasonable
database space, we can build it, post about it on village pump /
community portal / whatever else. I bet we can get 10000 in a matter
of weeks.
