Could we hope to have a warning when you will delete the french stuff, or should we plan to save everything in case ? I didn't write anything in editors, for it is often poorly transformed (the quotes in particular), and I thought nothing could really be lost. If it is not, it would be wiser to save all in case. I suppose french wikipedians will not accept that copies are put on the encyclopedia site since it is pov. Whether or not there will be warning before deletion is an information probably important enough to inform non-english wikipedians. Please ? Anthere

Jimmy didn't mean he was going to delete all of meta. Just what Spartacus wrote.

Right. And possibly some other stuff, if it's really way off topic, but I didn't see anything else obvious.
I think that a lot of the older stuff should be refactored. A lot of it is pretty out of date now.

I think creating a new page http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion would be a kind of warning for interested parts and a mean to inform those who can't understand some languages.

From what I read on the site, you upload your pictures and they manufacture and sell the merchandise, at no cost to you. You set the prices; if you decide to charge more than their base price, you'll get a check in the mail.
This seems like a good way to generate money for the nonprofit, eh?
That will be set up before the end of the month.

Should we go for it?

The French stuff poses a bit of dilemma for me. I don't know what it is, really. If it's French stuff *about wikipedia*, then it's fine. And we can be pretty liberal about how we construe that, too. General speculation on the future of free content, for example, would be fine.

Sure, that sounds good. But I'm not likely to delete stuff that I can't read. That's not necessarily a good thing.
I encourage people to keep meta on-topic. It's primarily for discussion of wikipedia itself. In the past, we copied some POV essays over there, but that's gotten out of hand so I'd like to discourage it.
The main principle here is that we're not a free homepage service, and if people want free homepage service for their political theorizing or whatever, then (a) there's always Geocities and (b) if someone REALLY wants it, I can find space for it on a non-wikipedia domain.
