If I understand you correctly, you would be (theoretically) fine with me creating a wikipedia page of you and filling it with true information about you, including your social security number, bank account number, telephone number, mothers maiden name, address, entire sexual history, provided all of this can be said to be correct by a notable source and referenced correctly? I'm assuming not, at least I hope not. But in practice then, legally and morally and by wiki policy and guidelines, these rights to demand that information be removed do exist for certain classes of information. So I think what we're really discussing here *which* kinds of personal information may be published in the wikipedia and under what circumstances. -- -Ian Woollard We live in an imperfectly imperfect world.
