What the hell?? Admin actions on-wiki are part of their private life???
Your girlfriend/wife, boyfriend/husband or employer might find
exactly
this data without going through Special:Log. Easily done an mighty disturbing.
I don't really get why they would be disturbed to learn that you delete images as part of your administrator duties. If they're going to be disturbed that you are an administrator period, or you have an account on a wiki, well those pieces of information are already available aside from this one page.
Wiki actions are public; that is a very basic thing that if you can't accept, you should probably never have hit "edit" in the first place. let alone joined a publicly archived mailing list from an email account that has your real name on it.
Exactly how much someone wants to show of his private life publicly is everybodys personal problem. And what you are saying is: "if you already wear bathing trunks you might as well go naked". No I prefer not to. And I never agreed that statistics of my activities are published. And what I agree on is my problem.
Paddy, you might be disturbed to learn of the existence of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log ... from which all
of
this data could be obtained.
I know that this exists but sorting data and making it transperent
is
what disturbs me.
Is not transparency in admin actions a good thing?
Yes, but only to a point where it is usefull. Knownig that I deleted x images does not help you understand what I have deleted. I approve that you can see that I deleted an image but not how many. period!
BTW see last post.
I saw it, but considering I can't read German, it didn't do much for me.
See in Wikipedia there is one relevant english article and the other two are only in german but those laws apply:
en: [[Informational self-determination]] de: [[Bundesdatenschutzgesetz]] de: [[Teledienstedatenschutzgesetz]] should be the relevant german laws.
greetings
Paddy
