Hi Lodewijk,
The optout didn't work for me too.
Did you try unsubscribing by using the other option provided below optout in the mails.
That is send a blank mail to the unsubscribe address and this should work. It worked for me though.
Best,

Hi Dan,
unfortunately several people use multiple email addresses, and this optout doesn't work properly if that is the case - because when you go to that link, google insists that you want to unsubscribe with your gmail address (which might not be the one you have been subscribed with).
Right now, I'm just marking all emails as spam - hoping that this won't affect the very similarly layouted real wikimedia-l messages.

If people are being resubscribed after having unsubscribed, apparently changing your settings here will stop that from happening: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!optout
I was subscribed by them and was kind of amused by the disaster and level of paranoia on these lists for a while, so I didn't bother unsubscribing. Now that someone is just copy-pasting articles about Wikipedia that are years old to one of the newer lists, it's sufficiently boring for me to unsubscribe.

I think it will be better if most of us can "Report the Group".
Yes, please do this. We're also talking with Google about trying to
resolve
the issue, but my understanding is that reporting that you've been fraudulently subscribed will help move that conversation along.
[Same applies to the fake gender-gap list.]
Thanks- Luis
