2010/11/28 dinar qorbanof <[email protected]>: > i should ask first whether wikipedia collects logs. no, probably as i asked is better, because it like has 2 questions in it, and usually logs are collected, and it is said in privacy policy that they may be collected, and even if they are not collected now, they can be collected.

(temporary anonymousity of reading is basic right, for more, easier trustability of internet, to check that server is not fooling users sending different content to different people. for example, theoretically, "closed" social network or forum can show to user his post with link, hoping he will feel ok, but hide it from other users, this maybe, for example because it is link to competitor site and owners of the closed site do some agressive smo blocking link to competitor sites. "closed" mean that you cannot read it if you are not logged in. but in this case the closed site also has risk to be "caught", if user checks his post with several people through alternative channels or publishing in open site about that he posted in closed site. but it is hard to check so. availability of anonymous reading is easy. and should be no premoderation. in that case, even users who do not see any link to competitor sites can be sure that they see that anybody else see in the site, and that anybody can post useful links and other posts, at least temporarily. ) _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
