[Foundation-l] Global policy proposal: Anti-vandal fighters (for en.wp list)

Mon Jun 9 07:06:00 UTC 2008

Some time ago I proposed that policy [1] at Meta and announced at
foundation-l. I was thinking that foundaiton-l announcing is enough.

This morning (in my time zone) we had discussion with one en.wp admin
who really doesn't like this idea. There is six days more for
discussion (before voting), but it seems that Wikimedians from en.wp
are not introduced well in this issue; which means that it is possible
that we will need more time for discussion.

So, please, go to mentioned page at meta and its talk page and
discuss. Some Wikipedians started talk about en.wp local policy which
is in relation with global permissions [2]. So, you should go there
and discuss, too.

The main issue regarding AVFs is that they would have rights
technically (like stewards have), but they would not be allowed to use
them if it is not according to the local policy. Every AVF who doesn't
follow those rules would lose their rights immediately. And you are
making your local policy. Please read both policy proposals carefully.

(Email is CC'd to foundaiton-l for keeping people there up to date.)
