Good to see this! Appreciate it's not always possible but it's lovely to
see the effort going in to it.

Hi Gordo
I think for something like this issue, which was very much about on wiki
processes/community decisions, we would always want to put forward someone
from the community (i.e. not a member of the team). John and I have both
spoken to the media recently about issues that feel more relevant and
appropriate for the charity itself to comment on - such as my interviews
around the BBC partnership, and John's on fake news.
Cheers
Lucy

the outcome.
A rather complex decision (to ban the Daily Mail) with a lot of history,
and some un-answered questions (e.g. why are other sources not on the
banned list?).
If WMUK had some warning, who would they want to put up? John Lubbock?
