Hello,
I think that a single quote by a unnamed "female Wikimedian", said in
public or in private, is a very small basis for any substantiate
criticism...
Kind regards

This week's issue of the English Wikipedia
Signpost delivers mildly
shocking news about the opinion of a "prominent female Wikimedian (...)
about the meaning of the movement and the role of the chapters" as
expressed during the Boards training workshop that took place between
March 1-2 in London.
The Wikimedian is quoted by the treasurer of Wikimedia Deutschland,
Steffen Prößdorf, as saying: "if we can buy free knowledge, we should
do
that [and] just forget about the communities" and "Fuck the community,
who cares."
I understand that the identity of the person will remain secret, given
that there is no public list of attendees of the workshop, so let me
just say that the idea that chapters can "fuck the community" is
absolutely unacceptable and should by rejected by all chapters
immediately.
