- Reason why I need an account: It would be easier fixing tiny things such as grammar or making sure that edits to the Board page that remove people have the material archived. It's no big loss if I don't get this, but I have wanted to make a few changes over the years (including a request to Juliet tonight for one), and I had no idea until now that it was possible to request an account, which would make it easier to fix minor issues that I may run across. --Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:51, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

- E-mail address: foundationwiki guymacon.com
- Reason why I need an account: I intend to run for election as a community-chosen member of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, and would like to be able to put certain past resolutions and current discussions on my wikimediafoundation.org watchlist. I don't anticipate having any need to edit any pages on wikimediafoundation.org other than perhaps answering questions posted on my talk page. --Guy Macon (talk) 22:02, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Guy Macon – unfortunately I'm not sure your use case meets the requirements for an account on the Foundation wiki at this point in time. We are reconsidering how accounts are activated on the Foundation's wiki in the future, though, so I'll get back to you if the policy changes. (In any case, very little discussion actually takes place on Foundation wiki :) ) Joe Sutherland (WMF) (talk) 21:23, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
- Joe Sutherland (WMF), since I only want to log in in order to be able to watchlist pages containing board resolutions, would it be possible to create the account and immediately apply a user-requested indef block? I believe that this would also allow me to set my preferences -- it is annoying having things like my preferred date format change when I read a page at wikimediafoundation.org. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
