Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2022/Candidates/Barkeep49/Questions

Response to BilledMammal's question
Barkeep49, perhaps a FoF on the UCoC could look something like this: "On 21 November 2022, User:NTymkiv (WMF) used their position and authority as an official of WMF to intimate the English Wikipedia community with their statement that using Wikipedia as a platform to raise funds for WMF is "literally ... a life-or-death situation", thus breaking rule 3.2 of the UCoC." I think I would support such a finding as there are a number of non-profits/charity organisations which I support who do amazing things to assist children in war torn and/or poverty regions, who assist with cancer research, who feed starving people or provide much needed facilities - true life or death situations. None of those get free advertising on Wikipedia. If the criteria for use of Wikipedia as an advertising platform to raise funds is by how much the organisation saves lives, then charities such as Malaria Consortium and Against Malaria Foundation should get priority, as they demonstrably save lives: The Against Malaria Foundation has provided nets to protect over 65 million people. Scaremongering by a WMF official as a tactic to get the Wikipedia community to back down on its opposition to the fund-raising barriers is surely against the UCoC.
