→[[Directory:Proabivouac/Wikipedia Arbitration Committee clerks]]: Response to Ryan.
Hello Greg. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the page linked above? I'm not sure what Proabivouac is trying to achieve with all this, but it strikes me as something that you'd rather not have on your wiki. He's publishing all sorts of nonsens on there, and I'd appreciate it if would consider removing the really personal information. Regards, [[User:Ryan Postlethwaite|Ryan Postlethwaite]] 03:40, 19 December 2008 (PST)

:Hello, Ryan. What's [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b5/Ryan_and_Adele.jpg happening]? I have reviewed the page linked above, and while I don't see any "nonsens(e)" there, I do see that there is some personally identifying information about people who help facilitate the highest system of editorial review and behavioral censorship on Wikipedia. If these people have identified themselves to the larger Internet community at one time or another, I'm having difficulty seeing the problem in simply re-aggregating that self-published information here.
:That being said, I can see how one might draw a line at e-mail addresses and phone numbers, '''if and only if''' the person whose e-mail and phone is re-aggregated has a problem with it. Thus far, I have not had any specific take-down requests from any of the people so affected. Therefore, I don't believe it is either your or my place to censor Proabivouac regarding re-aggregated information that doesn't yet seem to inconvenience the subject.
:Meanwhile, don't you participate on a web reference site that re-aggregates factual information, often to the objection of the subjects of that information, who are often ignored or overruled by "the community"? Not only that, the site you participate in is often the bearer of ''false'' information, which even though objected to by the affected parties, is not removed. Example, it was said about me, "[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Privatemusings&diff=prev&oldid=203220506 he's a fool, or he's lying]", all based on an erroneous assumption of the speaker, for which he never apologized, but would merely "take it into consideration". The [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Arch_Coal&diff=next&oldid=258731121 falsehoods] (which [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Eusebeus&diff=prev&oldid=258832456 get ignored] when complaint is received) continue to this day. Are you expending any energy to assist with removing this sort of false information on a much more widely-read website? -- [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 06:35, 19 December 2008 (PST)
