Hoi,
You are absolutely right that what is damaging to the community should 
not be allowed. What you fail to do is show why and how the community is 
damaged. It is far easier to show how our community will be strengthened 
by the Wikichicks. Assumptions are the mother of all fuck-ups.

Also, it is not necessary to ask the community for anything. You should 
have noticed that these ladies are quite capable organising what is 
needed themselves. They do not need me or you to get a mailing list, a 
chat channel, their own wiki. I would also suggest that it is not for 
the community to agree or endorse. There is a need. What is perceived to 
be needed has been organised and we, the community, have been informed.

Thanks,
