Talk:Wikimania 2016 bids

Dar es Salaam

Hi Madam I, and SJ talk  am sorry to inform you about my ignoring the disqualification of the Dar es Salaam Bid done by Ellie Young because there is nothing wrong we did to cause her action and actually she erred in to to testify that her decisions made by the Jury, this is not fair because if somebody can delete a page without giving a reason. Please help me to terminate their intention. _Manawa|Talk^{Education First} 05:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Francis, I left a note when I did my edit on the Wikimania 2016 bids, Ellie's edit came with an announcement on the Wikimania 2016 mailing list. I also left a message on your talk page. I think that if you want to contest the jury's decision to disqualify Dar es Salaam from the Wikimania 2016 bids, you should appeal to Ellie and the Wikimania 2016 jury. I have no say on their decision to disqualify Dar es Salaam and there's nothing I could do about their decision. Thanks. --- Titopao (talk) 03:35, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Decision?

CT Cooper You updated the page to reflect the jury decision. Where did you get this information? Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:21, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

It was announced by the Twitter accounts @WikimaniaManila and @WikimaniaEsino just before Christmas that Esino Lario had won the bidding process. I discussed the result with one of the members of the Manilla team, so I can confirm it is legitimate. However, to be on the safe side, I originally planned not to update the pages until the jury formally announced their decision, which we are still currently waiting for. However, TruPepitoM (talk · contribs) has in good faith gone ahead and updated the pages anyway, so I thought it prudent to finish the job rather than reverting.

For the record I think in future years, the jury should take the lead in making such announcements and updating the pages. CT Cooper · talk 15:46, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
