Number of supporters[edit]

The figure of 10 is a bit misleading as the casual reader will be unlikely to appreciate that these are people 'officially' supporting the proposal for the user group. The number of contributors to the group projects and discussions is much higher, it might be worth dropping this number unless we can produce a reasonable estimate of active participants. --Fæ (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Fæ: In this blog post, 10 is referring to the number of supporters of the LGBT task force at Wikidata. Are you confusing the Wikidata group with the current user group proposal? Just making sure we are not mixing discussions here. Thanks! --Another Believer (talk) 15:16, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I was confused, thanks. --Fæ (talk) 15:18, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It doesn't help that all of the links were removed when the text was copied over to Meta, otherwise it would have been more obvious the LGBT task force at Wikidata was the topic benign discussed. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts on the blog post. --Another Believer (talk) 15:21, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Links?[edit]

@CMonterrey (WMF): Should we be including links for phrases like Wiki Loves Pride, Wikimedia LGBT, LGBT task force (at Wikidata), etc? If so, should we use "[[ ]]" or full URL style linking? --Another Believer (talk) 15:18, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like a good idea to add links for readers who are not yet familiar with these. It's fine to use wikilinks ("[[ ]]"). Regards, Tbayer (WMF) (talk) 19:15, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

If we are to include an image, perhaps one of the following:

Two have been added. Feel free to remove one if necessary. Whatever works best for the final blog post! --Another Believer (talk) 15:13, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
