What you seem to be arguing for is a mailing list dedicated to the
issues you raise. The point I was making is that re-purposing this
mailing list (wiki-en-l) for that purpose is unlikely to succeed (or
be desirable), and that is what I meant by references to this being a
bit random. In other words, the venue(s) you are chosing for raising
these matters seem a bit random. What you seem to be looking for is a
mailing list version of the BLP Noticeboard. I've copied the WMF
mailing list on this post (as you added that mailing list when you
replied), but I won't see any replies to that mailing list as I'm not
subscribed there. I've removed Jimmy from the cc list, as the posts to
public mailing lists should be sufficient.
