Nach der neusten Wikimedia-Wahlen gibt es Kritik wegen mangelhafter Vorbereitung des Wahlganges – zum Beispiel fehlten Übersetzungen der Wahlseiten in einigen Sprachen. Wikimedia-Vorsitzende Florence Devouard antwortet:
The board delegated organizing the elections to a committee. The committee begged to have more translators, and the COMMUNITY (not the board) failed to provide appropriate translators. The elections are to populate the board, but these elections are to elect people from the community. Just how much is the community responsible to make sure everyone votes ? to make sure everyone is informed ?
