I'll take my popcorn salty, thanks. — Scott • talk 20:08, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- According to Huffington Post slater claimed the average Wikipedia user leads "a communistic view of life" and "could be a new Adolf Hitler or a new Stalin",[1] Not sure who that will backfire on.

Request for transparency[edit]
Wikimedia Foundation states that it rejected Mr Slater's takedown request because "We didn't agree" with his claim that he owned the copyright to the photographs. That isn't very informative. Would it be possible to provide more information please? This could some idea what the Foundation's reasoning is, a record of the discussion, details of legal advice received and so forth. I'm not certain the information currently available deserves to be described as "transparency".217.196.231.29 14:17, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to agree with the IP-user's requests (even if I disagree with Slater's copyright claim). Are the only details regarding on specific requests the brief summaries under the heading "Stories"?
