 If you spend a short while looking through the history of the article, you
 can see that:

 1. there has been all sorts of vandalism over the years;
 2. Cluebot caught a lot of the vandalism within a minute of it being made;
 3. It's well-watched and editors reverted the rest of the vandalism quite
 quickly;
 4, There's no incident of vandalism (that I could see) that remained more
 than a couple of hours.

 In other words, our system works. But that's not news.

 We have explained how it is the community of editors who look after the
 content and that we have faith in the sound judgement of the community

[Wikimediauk-l] Updating the WMUK terms of use

2014-04-25 Thread Michael Maggs
In an earlier discussion on the Engine Room, Thryduulf noted that the Terms of 
use link at the bottom of every page still directs users to the terms of use 
page on the WMF Foundation Wiki.  Since WMUK services, including the wiki, are 
now independently hosted, our terms of use need to be modified. I asked for 
community input on 11th March, and again on 19th, and as there appears to be no 
volunteer appetite to work on this I have put up some thoughts of my own for 
discussion.

Please visit  https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Terms_of_use and 
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Disclaimers, and contribute to the discussion on 
the talk pages.

Regards
