Our reply, as I sent it at 7:58 pm Pacific time, Sep. 9:
=============== Hi, Ashley-
As you know, the Wikimedia Foundation keeps very little data about users. Most information that we have is public and accessible on-wiki, like user pages and contribution pages. For the small amount of personally identifiable data that we do collect, we also seek to comply with our data retention guidelines https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_retention_guidelines, deleting information after prescribed periods.
Given our small administrative staff, the lack of any mandate under the relevant applicable law, and the need to focus our limited resources on our mission, we do not think it is an appropriate use of staff time or donor money to do significant research in locating and preparing information, if any, that falls under your broadly scoped request. We appreciate your understanding.
Sincerely- Luis ===============
