:At least it's not nagging the readers. I moved three blogs on my own site (http://rocknerd.co.uk/ , http://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/ and http://redcountess.co.uk/blog/ ) to 2.6 today. The second and third were fine because they were all but unmodified from the standard install; the first has lotsa tweaks and extensions, and I had a marvellously annoying time this afternoon fixing it up and I'm still not finished.

Please stop <em>trolling</em>. Your accusations are false and defamatory. Moreover, they are purely attempts to personally attack me. I am being reasonably polite to you under the circumstances.

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it. |
|||
If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org. |

Hi, David Gerard. I'm banned from Wikipedia English, and hoping to strike up enough of a community discussion to overturn it. Would you consider participating in that discussion? I made a space for it at my Meta talkpage, here: [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Colton_Cosmic#COLTON_COSMIC_BAN_APPEAL_DISCUSSION_HERE]. Hoping to drum up some non-administrator participation and interested in what you have to say, if you have the time.

Hi David Gerard,
I am reaching out to you because you signed up to receive updates about the Global Wikimedia survey.[1]
We will be hosting a public event online to present the data, a few examples on how teams will be using it for annual planning, and what are next steps for this project. The event will take place on Tuesday, October 10, at 9:00 am PST (1600 UTC), and the presentation will be in English. You can watch the livestream here, and ask question via IRC on #wikimedia-office.
If you are unable attend, you can also find the report on meta, and watch the recording of the event at a later time.
We hope to have you join us online! -- María Cruz 23:28, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
