Talk:Terms of use/Paid contributions amendment

Hi Janweh64, I appreciate your comments over at Talk:Terms of use/Paid contributions amendment. I thought it was particularly insightful what you said about your own experience working on the Bonin Bough and Oncology Care Model articles. I would say that my own assessment differs from that offered on RVF, in that I don't see the situation as totally hopeless; I think there can be a way forward if all parties remain open to compromise, but one of the obstacles is that the Wikimedia Foundation has its own legal concerns and this is sometimes being addressed in a very top-down way that leaves little room for meaningful community input. The reason is that community input depends on the community being allowed to put forth suggestions organically, while often these matters have been presented as an either-or dichotomy, almost to the point of being a fait accompli by the time we get a chance to weigh in. Anyway, thanks again.

In light of the underlying dynamics of the situation, by the way, it's unsurprising that your proposed rules of conduct were rejected, but I would suggest continuing to plug away in search of a solution as it seems like the two of you are not actually that far apart.

BMJ account redistribution (The Wikipedia Library)

Hi - according to our records you received a free account for BMJ through The Wikipedia Library. Because we’ve used up all of our allocated accounts, and it’s been some time since they were distributed, we want to redistribute any accounts that aren’t being used to users on our waitlist.

If you’re still using, or plan to use, your BMJ access, no problem! Simply head over to the Library Card platform, log in, and request a renewal of your account. You should be able to do this from your user page, or the BMJ signup page. If you can’t find the renewal button, or have any other issues or questions about this, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page. We’ll begin redistributing inactive accounts in a few weeks; if you request renewal after then we should still be able to reactivate your account if we have spots remaining. Thanks, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 12:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
