Are these the servers that wikipedia no longer require due to the increasing number of deletions being made recently? As of today, I will no longer be contributing to MediaWiki through bugfixes. The reason for this being that: the amount new content is decreasing, and the amount of articles being deleted is increasing.
Even recently I noticed that there is proposals for deletions on Wikipedia of article about the Australian National University and its colleges, as apparently they are not notable enough and all should be merged into one article.

Hello,
I wanted to let folks know that WMF is decommissioning some 35 servers, and is willing to accept requests from users interested in using them for Wikimedia-related purposes. If you can ship a server from Tampa to where you are, and if you can put it to good use, please see http://tinyurl.com/r3xhp7 and send your request in.
Many thanks to the tech team (in particular RobH - looks like he's handling most or all of this) for reaching out to community members first. I'm sure we can find happy homes for lots of this hardware, which will help community members be productive in helping achieve Wikimedia's mission.
