Retweeted! We might get an answer with enough re-tweets. :-) It seems logical to suppose that there are senior managers in the WMF, or at least WMF Legal, that know which Wikipedia article(s) is being subject to Google's suppression in search engines. It seems also reasonable to supposed it is about a notable person rather than, say, some random school teacher, as in the latter case we would fix that through sensible discussion via OTRS and there would be a natural fairness in making person material either less visible in an article, or getting removed in compliance with project guidelines. Would any WMF Trustee or senior manager like to illuminate the community on this? Obviously Jimmy Wales has commented generally, but not explained what the WMF do about these RTV Google requests. As I understanding there is no legal requirement on the WMF to suppress itself when talking about Google's actions. Indeed there is nothing to stop a bot-writer like myself to craftily slowly sniff through results and pop out a public list of suppressed articles, it is public data by definition...
