Can you point me to some discussion about this? The link to the Arbcom
decision doesn't seem to discuss this point much at all. The link to
the Wikipedia:COPYRIGHT policy doesn't seem to apply, since it says that
you shouldn't link to an external site with a copy of a work if you *know*
that it's violating copyright (i.e. the default is to assume that the link
is okay and you need a specific reason to exclude it.)
Do we routinely check all Admin applicants to see if they are sock-puppets?
Should we start doing so?

Knol however is only collaborative on the meta-level. And even then only
spottily.
The articles are not typically collaborations, but rather independent
creations of a single individual.

Your characterization of the Matt Sanchez fiasco is incomplete. Arbcom
doesn't ban a person for a year over merely attempting to address BLP issues
on their own biography.
Your characterization of the issue as "BLP violations" is an
interpretation. Other editors saw the issues as not being violations at all, but rather
consistent with our goal of presenting the evidence as it is.
This is not a good example of what you think you're trying to address. I
fail to see why you think opening this can of worms is appropriate.
Matt Sanchez is a poster boy for duplicity in my opinion. Bringing him in
here is not going to help your case.

Listers,
I've submitted a suggestion at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Burials
with regard to how burials can be referenced in more encyclopedic language
than currently used.
Comments and criticism welcome.

Just a quick update, a couple of days ago all of this stuff got enabled on
all WMF projects. The delay has mainly been due to us having to order more
hardware (particularly RAM) since my initial estimate of how much we needed
was somewhat off.
Cheers, r.
