> I want to let you know about a recent victory for the WMF in Germany. The
> German court of appeals dismissed the case of Evelyn Schels v. Wikimedia
> Foundation. The court held that biographical information about Schels, such
> as her birthdate, was appropriate for an article about her as a notable
> figure when it was obtained from a public source. You can read more about
> it on the blog
