Florida Je ne suis pas Google: The public interest in remembering the facts about trials and convictions is, in my view, at least as strong as any "right to be forgotten."← Back to ContentsView Latest Issue5 August 2015

"I understood and, to some extent, sympathized" "I opted to ... take the story ... to the press. ... the ex-convicts, ... became more famous" "that kind of happy outcome" These statements do not really hang together.
And here we go giving the story more publicity. What is the message here? "Mess with Wikipedia at your peril?"
I have no objection to putting up a stout defence of content, as in this case and the French defence ministry case. I do object to grave dancing, and to using Wikipedia as a bully pulpit to defend material which would never survive our own policies.
And contributors might like to remember that "here" does not mean the United States to the majority of Wikipedia editors.
