Dear Sirs,
The day before yesterday
(http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pedidos_a_administradores/Discuss%C3%A3o_de_bloqueio/Arquivo/2009/05#NH),
while discussing a private case, whose full details are confidential,
I described a strictly hypothetical case as follows:
Suppose a tetraplegic girl learns how to use a computer and finds out
about Wikipedia. After registering as a user she does all sort of
trampling. Would there be any administrator willing to block her from
editing Wikipedia?
Three administrators, one of them a bureaucrat and member of
arbitration committee have answered YES.
The administrator bureaucrat later quoted
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Non_discrimination_policy>Wikimedia:Non
discrimination policy, explaining that that policy did NOT allow them
to treat editors differently, based on their [...] medical
condition.
<http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct_Policy>Wikimedia:Code
of Conduct Policy was also quoted.
I wonder if you would care to comment on all of the above.
Sincerely,
Virgilio A. P. Machado
