Discussion on the [[foundation-l]] mailing list and IRC about the Urdu
Wikipedia's sitenotice has come to the conclusion that according to
policy sitenotices of that type should not be used on wikimedia
foundation projects. In particular it conflicts with the principle
that wikipedia is written in NPOV (this includes religious
endorsements). As a result we would like to disscuss the removal of
the the text from site notice.

That gives the reasons but the ending is too weak.
