Recent career move

Ryan Merkley [1], the WMF, and Creative Commons [2] have all publicly announced that Merkley is leaving CC and joining the WMF as Chief of staff to the CEO. @Ammarpad: I'll revert back to the version that includes this fact and add 2 more refs. This is consistent with the current practice of WP:Notnews and there's no reason to actively avoid this fact. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 00:32, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Smallbones, Merkely has announced an April 1 departure from WMF. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:26, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
