Guillaume, the evidence has been made overwhelmingly clear. The last  
time that any sort of attempt to comment on the situation was made,  
according to MaxSem, the guy indef-blocked the instigator. So you have  
a guy hiding WMF logos and stuff, revert warring over it, blocking  
over any sort of criticism, violating of the core policies that  
Wikimedia projects are founded on, and you don't see that as an  
emergency? Who can stop him? Oh that's right, nobody, because he can  
block anyone who opposes him, and has shown evidence already that he  
will do so. You don't see that as an emergency?

And don't even begin to presume to say that I'm projecting my  
experience from en.wp. I edit en.wikiversity as well. I know what  
smaller projects are like. And if this was happening on  
en.wikiversity, I'd be throwing a fit over it.
