  • The article says "Harris' report and recommendations are due to be tabled at the fall meeting of the Board of Trustees." I assume from reading the linked Q&A that that is using the UK definition for Table (parliamentary procedure); I suspect many readers familiar with the US definition will be confused.

  • I made a small request back when this mess started - a small request that we would get a simple policy and not end up getting a giant lawyer-proof policy that may or may not address Jimbo's original complaint that the images are non-educational. Nobody listened and now the commitees are forming. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 08:28, 2 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
