Wikipedia India Education Program

Hi. The deletion summary of Wikipedia India Education Program directs questions to you. I have a few questions since I received several bizarre e-mails about this page and surrounding issues. Is there a discussion somewhere about Wikipedia India Education Program? Why was this page deleted? Why did James delete the page and direct questions to you rather than you deleting the page yourself? --MZMcBride (talk) 03:59, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Hey MZ, chiming in since I know Philippe is busy but if I say something wrong I imagine he'll correct me. I did the deletion because he was away from the computer at the time and I wasn't. it was deleted because, to be honest, it's a page that did not fall under this wikis responsibility and was being used only for harassment and attacks. As a generally WMF run site we decided it made most sense for one of us to do it (especially with all of the Education folks traveling internationally at the time).

Thanks for the quick reply. I've now received additional bizarre e-mails from a Romana Busse... I'm still not really sure what they're about. It's something to do with India, (child?) pornography, and lots of sockpuppets on the English Wikipedia, maybe? I should probably just archive the e-mails. Perhaps I'll forward them to you to enjoy. --MZMcBride (talk) 23:33, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

To go off of what you received for e-mails, that kind of the gist of what the page said, but it is still odd that they randomly reached out to you, unless there is something that I am missing. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:31, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

They seem to be reaching out to a large group of random people (for most of the emails there are also a large pile of bcc's to make it even more fun). Jalexander-WMF (talk) 03:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
