In en-wiki we are making good progress in addressing BLP concerns
related to non-notable individuals, as well as being very cautious
about using primary sources that have not been described in secondary
sources (such as court documents) in BLPs of notable individuals. But
what about Wikisource?
Currently there is no exclusionary criteria in Wikisource that will
limit contributors into adding material such as civil cases court
rulings, including divorce proceedings, bankruptcy cases, and other
such disputes.
As it stands know, an editor can upload a bunch of court documents to
Wikisource, link these Wikisource pages back to Wikipedia articles
and add a links to Wikisource to WP articles via the {{sisterlinks}}
or {{wikisource}} templates.
Material that would not have been acceptable to include in a BLP,
either as text or as an EL, by virtue of the lack of a consistent
exclusionary policy in Wikisource, and relative low number of
contributors and admins that monitor material there, is now bypassing
all these BLP protection measures we have in place.
Any thoughts?
