Non-Arabic speaker signatures?

I support what is stated in this letter. I am an English-speaker, I am sorry to say I know no Arabic. For what little it's worth, I would like to lend my support to this letter, but only if the authors feel it would be helpful. Could I start a "Non-Arabic speaking supporters" section? -Pete Forsyth (talk) 06:03, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Peteforsyth I think i did not feel that this letter was for arabic speakers only.Nattes à chat (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

"In conclusion, the Arabic-speaking Wikimedia community calls..."

I'm happy to add my voice in solidarity with a statement like this, but it would not be honest for me to represent myself as part of the Arabic-speaking community. I prefer to know the preferences of the author(s) of the letter before I edit the page in any way. User:أحمد ناجي can you speak to this? Pete Forsyth (talk) 15:20, 15 October 2025 (UTC)

@Nattes à chat, Peteforsyth. Hello All. The reason of limiting signature section to Arab Wikimedians is that the statement was written based on discussions of Arab users here and internal discussions in Arbic user groups. Of course, I have no problem with signatures from outside the Arab community. I will now create a section including supporters from non-Arab Wikimedians. My regards .

إن الشخص الذي قاد حملة التشهير ضد رافان هو نفسه من قاد الاستشارة العامة حول ويكي الأخبار. وبالطبع، لا ينبغي لنا أن نشكك في شرعية تصرّفاتها الأخرى لمجرّد وجود وصمة واحدة، لكنني أرى بالفعل أن تلك الاستشارة العامة كانت تفتقر إلى الاحترام تجاه المجتمع، ويبدو أن هذا أصبح مشكلة شائعة. وكما يُقال، المراقبون يرون الأمور بوضوح أكثر، لذا أدعو المهتمين إلى إلقاء نظرة على تلك الاستشارة العامة، سواء كنتم مؤيدين أو معارضين. شكرًا لكم.
