I didn't, but it was educationally useful to let step into the trap by yourself. Your list is almost exactly what I expected. In short, Wikipedia doesn't *have* any security policies. What Wikipedia has is robust means of recovery. Wikipedia has absolutely no means for preclusion of hostile acts. It only has means for recovery and retaliation. This is an interesting approach, and one that is effective for Wikipedia. It is not a security policy. shap -- Jonathan S.
