[[User:WAS 4.250]] and I have been working on a proposed policy regarding Wikipedia biographies at [[Wikipedia:Biographies on living persons deserve a special sensitivity]] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_on_living_persons_deserve...
It deals with the need to be respectful of subjects, which policies are particularly important, what they say, and what to do in the event of a legal threat. Any input would be appreciated, particularly from editors who are familiar with [[WP:NOR]] and [[WP:V]], who have worked a lot on biographies, who have legal backgrounds, members of the arbcom who have dealt with some of these issues recently in cases, and editors who themselves have Wikipedia entries and who know what it feels like to be the subject of a biography.

Sarah,
Good work. Need to add policy that prevents people involved in a legal dispute from editing articles related to people in the legal dispute. There is documented bias in these cases.
People have the right to sue each other, but they have no right to edit Wikipedia.
