Note that this is already a problem with BLPs. The rules apply not just on the articles named after living persons - but to statements about living persons anywhere in the encyclopedia, and even on talk pages. This is precisely because those who mistake the encyclopedia for a venue for activist journalism have an observed tendency to continue their fight wherever they can. Putting the BLPs elsewhere will move the battle to other pages in the main, more open, wiki. Ultimately, if people can write things, they can write things that violate rules. The question then is whether it will be more manageable or less. This would require numbers, with evidence, to support any proposal. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
