Talk:Wiki World Heritage User Group/User Group election 2021-2023/Nominations

Concerns from Bengali Wikipedia Community

Hello, I am reaching out to you as a fellow Wikimedian and a supporter of the World Heritage User Group. I would like to draw your kind attention to the discussion currently going on in Bengali Wikipedia [1]. As you can see here, the candidate User:Marajozkee has gained immense community distrust over several issues, mainly related to different grant applications and their implementations. The Bengali Wikipedia community has been asking him to clarify several things and yet not got any detailed response. The user's co-organizer for a number of discussions (fascilitating these discussions was part of the grant application) was ignorant of the grant application, who also claimed that there should be no need for money to conduct these activities. The community members are shocked at the whole matter and demanded answers for these issues. I believe that we all want the movement to be based on trust and clarity, and therefore as a supporter of WWH UG, I consider it my responsibility to inform here. We all expect the best candidates to be on the WWH UG's board to run its activities for global betterment and future collaboration. But finding a candidate with this amount of community disbelief is making me worried. I would like to mention the founding members: @User:Nassima Chahboun, @User:Yamen, and @User:Dyolf77. — ANKAN (talk) 17:22, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you ANKAN for sharing this and for your concerns. We will let the members decide and vote what they think is good for the group. For the three cofounders we decided to remain neutral and respect the members decision. --Dyolf77 (talk) 17:17, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Update: Bangla Wikipedia community decided to block "User:Marajozkee" for various reasons (including above). --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 19:04, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
