[Wikimedia-l] Could someone please tell me why I have been subscribed to this list?

I really would like to know why I have been subscribed to a list that
I know nothing of, there has been NO communication whatsoever about
its creation and the community's input.

I hardly think You've been added to Wikimedia-l". is an adequ\te
manner to introduce a list. Or am I to infer that it is somehow
relaled to a previous email by Svetlana, saying " I maintain that I
would love to have a formal universal feedback ..."

Would Toby care to explain?

Regards,

Rui
