Dear French Speakers and coordinators,
I want to inform you that the hashtag #WPWP has been blocked on the French Wikipedia.
The hashtag was unilaterally blocked by a user in a discussion involving 3 editors. The block was made without community input, notice or discussion with the International or local organizing team. This amounts to an abuse of admin privilege.
I have left a message on the admin noticeboard thread. Please kindly weigh in. We count on your support.
Thank you
Isaac

Hello dear Isaac I just saw your email and that of 4 other contributors to my community. I took the trouble to check the #WPWP blocking in an article that I use as an example during the webinars that I organize. i am sad and hope that a solution will be found easily as one person should not affect everyone .... What are we going to do now? Because the questions in my community are becoming more and more important about the why .... Happy birthday to you....

Hello everyone,
We are happy to inform you that the block of our hashtag at the French Wikipedia community has been lifted. However, we encourage the French-speaking coordinators of the WPWP Campaign to monitor the "recent changes' and revert any disruptive editing by new editors.
As a general rule, do not add photos to Wikipedia articles in the language you do not speak fluently as you can't possibly add a correct caption to a photo in a language you either do not speak fluently or understand.
Please let us know if you require further information.
With best regards, Isaac Olatunde Project Manager and Co-Coordinator WPWP Campaign On Fri, Jul 31, 2020 at 9:11 AM Isaac Olatunde reachout2isaac@gmail.com wrote:
