Hello Anirudh & All the members of the India mailing list, Some questions I wish to ask in general to all my fellow followers in India & worldwide, please do not mind since being a new member to this committee I may miss out on the background! May I ask about who is the moderator over this mailing list? And for what reasons is this action is taken on the Indian Mailing list? Is this moderation known to other lists as well?? Are the other mailing lists/authorities notified about it?? Plus who gives this authority to the moderator to moderate a certain mailing list?? Is there any selection process or criteria?? If yes can we all know about it. And does the current moderator underwent the same criteria or selection process? Its supposed to be an open talk rite? What if its like the moderator wants to discuss issues what he wants to and rest is discarded?? This can happen right?? So next, is there any panel which keeps a check on the moderators?? If yes, can we all know about it also?? And the process through which every moderator is selected?? (eligibility precisely speaking of) If not, can we assume that the moderators claim the ownership on this mailing list?? plus one last query, this mail, will it be moderated too?? if yes can you let us know to whom I can ask for a clarification over the moderation of this mail. Waiting for your quick response, Regards & Thanks, Niraj Suryawanshi <http://www.facebook.com/niraj12> Pune Institute of Computer Technology | Wikipedia Club Pune<https://www.facebook.com/WikipediaClubPune> 8149920120 | niraj.suryawanshi(a)gmail.com On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 11:52 PM, Anirudh Bhati [via Wikimedia] < ml-node+s7n4996563h58(a)n6.nabble.com&gt; wrote: _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-in-mum mailing list Wikimedia-in-mum(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-in-mum
