Sorry if this should be obvious, consider me "out of the loop", but what is the thing about a Wikipedia grant in reference to? What position does Durova hold where she controls Wikimedia funds?
SandyGeorgia wants to know, too...
If I understand this correctly, Durova actually
was heavily involved in the
partnered exhibition on Maroon culture at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, but that page doesn't say anything about money. Still, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that they'd offered to buy Mr. Cuerden a nice new scanner in order to help facilitate something like that, though of course he might not be the ideal person to count on to meet their deadline. My best guess is that Durova may have pointed this out to them, and that this is what Mr. Cuerden was upset about.

That's a bit naive, isn't it? For him to have this idea that mere
recognition of Durova's bullying is going to prevent her from making his life on Wikipedia hell...?
At best, he's seriously underestimating her determination to get the job done!
