This usually works okay in practice, but then, that too is an administrative role, rather than an admin making a content decision as such, and needs to be confirmed sensibly. e.g. "I've added xxxx, does that work for everyone?" A good example is the death of Michael Jackson, where the page was locked and the discussion was fast and furious. Being a sensitive BLP (at the time), that was IMO just the right way to do it. Admins stepping in and saying "no, this is a severe BLP hazard, we have to do this right." - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
