A few days ago, along with the new trustee's biographies, a lengthy text
has been added (three times) to
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Board_of_Trustees&oldid=83125>,
under the mysterious title "Tenure Accomplishments", mentioning an
unheard-of "new format" for bios.
As this is not about the individual trustee's activity and there were a
number of problems, the text has been removed, but it seemed to be given
some importance so it's been restored elsewhere, as "Summary of
resolutions" (a more neutral term).
You can see the history here:
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/w/index.php?title=Resolutions&dir=prev&offset=20120720133234&limit=12&action=history>
The worst parts have been removed or fixed, but there's still much
objectionable content, see some examples here:
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/?diff=83158&oldid=83156>
It would be useful to know who's responsible for writing this piece of
text and what purpose it's supposed to serve, so that interested people
can understand it and possibly help improve it.
Thanks,
Nemo
