New organization

I've just created this organization. (And will look forward to joining it myself in two months' time.) I hope that it is fruitful in producing collaboration and friendship.

Note: I don't propose that anyone bot- or AWB-spam invitations to everyone who's been here since 2002 - it will be much nicer to keep this organic and personal. -- Hex [t/c] 10:47, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to rain on your parade or anything like that, but having an organization with a qualification for joining which is outside the normal structure may cause an MfD somwhere along the line (I do not plan to do so myself). Consider packaging it as an award? I will say the graphic is very nice--Wehwalt (talk) 17:57, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I hope not. Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "normal structure"; any Wikipedia editor can join the Society. They just have to stick around with the project for a while. (Quite a lot of people will be reaching the mark in a couple of years' time.) The Society explicitly has no powers or duties, so it's not a case of anyone putting themselves above anyone else, which is stated on the page itself. If it ever became the case that people in the Society did try and claim some sort of privilege, I would submit it to MfD myself, because that's not what I created it for. -- Hex [t/c] 16:45, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Someone will submit this to MfD, regardless how Hex -- or anyone else -- structures this group; every group of volunteers on Wikipedia has been sent to MfD. Anyone who has been at Wikipedia has seen that happen, & can think of a reason to open a MfD action. (Hmm, maybe that should be a second requirement of being part of this group. Or maybe simply not being too cynical.) -- llywrch (talk) 22:58, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Heh. Well, I hope if (when?) it happens, the discussion can be conducted without rancor. Or am I displaying optimism unbecoming of a veteran? — Hex (❝?!❞) 12:19, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Heck, I'll join ... if you'll have me. WP has changed a lot in these 10 years. --Uncle Ed (talk) 20:58, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It sure has. Welcome. — Hex (❝?!❞) 23:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
