How exactly do you prove that a voter is *not* a Wikitraveler? You can't even prove that someone who claims to be an admin is in fact an admin.--[[User:IBobi|IBobi]] [[User talk:IBobi|talk]] [[Special:EmailUser/IBobi|email]] 00:04, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

:::Procedural note: "the RFC to be binding on the WM community and WMF" is false, there's no such thing as a binding RfC. Besides, [[Requests_for_comment/Travel_Guide#Abstain|it's not even clear what this RfC is about]] and what its consequences could be even if it were binding. --[[User:Nemo_bis|Nemo]] 06:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

:::: In theory, always. In practice, what this RFC says is what we're going to do. The consequences will be:

+

::::* WMF will create a new set of wikis for travel site.

+

::::* WT wagon train arrives, bring in their data dumps

+

::::* WMF imports data dump to the new set of wikis

+

:::: If things go ok, wikivoyage will join in toosooner or later.

+

:::: We welcome the WTers to the Wikimedia family. :-)

: I'm a WT admin. You can see my home page on Wikitravel [http://wikitravel.org/en/User:Inas], and my contributions on WT over the past six years [http://wikitravel.org/en/Special:Contributions/Inas]. Unless IBobi chooses to strip my of admin privs then you can easily also check I'm an admin. I'm not aware that in the oppose votes, there is anyone else that can identify their contributions to WT. As far as I can see the WT community is pretty much unanimous behind the creation of a WMF travel site.

: I'm not dismissing all the reasons to oppose creating a WMF travel site - most of them are considered need to be weighed against the arguments in favour. However, I don't accept that damage to the active WT community is one of them. --[[User:Inas66|Inas66]] ([[User talk:Inas66|talk]]) 04:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
