Was the public policy list converted to fully moderated without any discussion?
I wouldn't mind if there was a reasonable amount of time between
sending and moderator decision, but if a list needs to be moderated,
or someone on a list needs to be moderated, then that list or that
person should be informed, respectively.

Very impressive, Jan!
Were the five requests for content removal based on the right to be
forgotten included in the 243 requests to alter or take down content?
Can you please say what proportion of those involving living people
claiming defamation were discussed by the community e.g. on the
English Wikipedia's WP:BLPN?
Best regards,
Jim

Hi all
Many of you may have already seen it and we are really excited about the
transparency report that we released earlier this week:
https://transparency.wikimedia.org/
Highlights:
243 requests to alter or remove content from the projects. None were
granted.
13 requests to disclose nonpublic user information. None were granted.
22 requests under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act to remove
copyrighted material from the projects. Six were granted.
Please find more info about the report in this blogpost.
Best,
Jan
