Talk:Unsubstantiated claims of Wikimedia corruption

142, please provide specifics and references for these claims.

Doing so for new claims; However, since lies, libel and echo chamber fraud are freely spread on vile mailing lists run by Wikimedia without any such specifics or references, it might be abusive to require such documentation from their opponents; most specific references are in the sub-articles using the most infamous Wikimedia clowns as the universal bad example for how not to do wiki governance.

Is being blocked in China evidence of corruption? hm. Trolls would say no, but, sysop power structure would have to respect China's power structure and their pet sysops who are their friends in fascist power plays. - hail to the red faction!

The partially released results of the Wikimedia Board of Trustees "election" proves what trolls have always said: it is a front for the sysop power structure:

"The top 3 for contributing rep were:

Anthere 269 Eloquence 258 (Erik Moeller) Maveric149 163 ((Daniel Mayer)

The top 2 for for volunteer rep:

Angela 345 (Auntie Angela) Maveric149 159" (Daniel Mayer)

Moved from Wikimedia corruption

withholding full Wikimedia Board of Trustees election results from the voters! apparently there will be NO release of figures (!), even on a sitewide basis, according to directives by Jimbo the GodKing of Wikimedia and Bomis

This is not true. Imran and Danny have decided to not release full results apparently because some candidates wished they not be released. This has been critisized in the #wikipedia IRC channel recently and a plan is proposed that all results of those candidates who agree to releasing their votecounts would be released and those withholding would just look silly.

Sorry, this was true when written, and, full disclosure is full disclosure. What were they trying to hide? Whether they succeeded in hiding it or not. It appears they were trying to hide just how many cronies could use their cronyism to score high in this "election"

After taking up the issue with Danny here are the full election results http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election_results --Juxo 14:48, 19 Jun 2004 (EEST)

no independent board free of influence from Bomis.com - although "two of the current trustees don't seem to be active Wikimedians", those being sock puppet votes of Jimbo Wales: his employees at that corporation.

Jimbo no longer works for Bomis, thus he has no employees at Bomis
Michael Davis never worked there
Only Bomis employee on the board is Tim Shell

What absolute nonsense - Wales *OWNS* Bomis. And Davis has shares too apparently. This is a fairly transparent and bogus attempt to create a false front organization. And again, what are they hiding? Surely they realize they're doing something wrong, if they're quitting and pretending to set up these structures.

Ok. Ownership naturally leads to some power over current employees, but may I remind once again that it is not true that two of the independent board members work for Bomis.com, only Tim Shell works there
