At least they got rid of the picture. This article is a disaster waiting to happen.
Would Britannica have an article on this? |

Well, at least there's nothing about people being ordered by an ostensible goverment phone-call to strip search themselves. "Fine, ma'm. Now that the underwear is off, what color is it?"  There are many Engvall signs waiting to be passed out on this one. |

If people at WP had any smarts, they'd monitor 4chan and ED to find things to semi-protect, like this article. I don't know if everybody really understands that there was a link to an actual film of the Kentucky incident on the article. It was there for several days. Yet another problem that "flagged revisions for BLPs" wouldn't fix, because they wouldn't think to flag things like this. |

Actually it wouldn't work because people wouldn't think to override the default state of "flaggedrevs disabled" on this article (in a two-tier system where this is initially machine-recognized as an unimportant "non-BLP" article). How much you want to bet I'd be reverted or blocked for removing the names. |

QUOTE(CharlotteWebb @ Sun 15th March 2009, 12:07am) How much you want to bet I'd be reverted or blocked for removing the names. Probably very likely. The thing is: if you wrote an article about any of the principles in this incident, it would probably get deleted. However, you can still include all of this damaging information to Wikipedia when you frame it in terms of one, isolated incident. The BLP harm is just as great, and yet this is somehow more "acceptable". |
