Where was this anonymous edit made? Could someone provide a link?

I would love to see the conference in Seattle, but
only when the time is
right. We should not take on this project until we have the stability and
capacity to do so. I have been adamant about this, especially when east
coast Wikimedians suggest we should host. The truth is, we are not as
organized... YET! There is certainly no harm in entertaining the idea, but
I think it is in our best interest in grow slowly and smartly rather than
bite off more than we can chew.

While I think that the effort to host
WikiConference USA would help
Cascadia Wikimedians itself scale up regardless of the year, I also believe
that an anonymous edit adding Seattle to the list of Wikimania 2016 bidders
is unconscionable without first getting a consensus within the user group.
Even with a consensus, there should be no IP posts "volunteering" Seattle,
anyway. That's just avoiding taking responsibility.
BTW, does anybody have any thoughts about when & where to have the first
Cascadia Wikimedians user group meeting?

We've discussed hosting WikiConference USA in
2016, but someone using an
IP went a step further and added Seattle to the list of potential bidders
for Wikimania 2016. I understand how scaling up makes sense, especially if
we have strong U.W. support and are able to hire an event planner, but the
main reason I have not suggested scaling up the event is that we are a
young group and we need to grow in a sustainable way; Wikimania is a very
large event that may distract us from the kinds of work we have already
planned to pursue like forming local partnerships, so I feel that Wikimania
would be a more appropriate event for us to host in 2017 or 2018 when we
have a firmer foundation and perhaps more numerous local Wikimedians and
partners who will assist with coordinating the event. Thoughts?
