Wikimedia Foundation fundraiser passes $1,000,000

The Wikimedia Foundation fundraiser will conclude this week. At the end of the drive, over US$1,000,000 had been raised, not including a matching funds donation yet to be received.

Personal attack noticeboard rejected

After complaints over its effectiveness, and worries that it was being used inappropriately in disputes, the personal attack intervention noticeboard was shut down last week, after a deletion request.

Mailing lists moved

The mailing lists for Wikipedia and other projects have changed to new addresses after the Wikimedia Foundation migrated them to a new server. All new addresses will use @lists.wikipedia.org, so that for example the English Wikipedia mailing list is now wikien-l at lists.wikipedia.org. Old addresses will still work, but the transition will include mail headers and may require recipients to adjust any filters or other settings they use to read list messages. Also note that links to old mailing list messages may point to different ones now: this is because of how the archive rebuilding process works.
