Combining this with the discussion of defamation, and
Wikitruth, maybe
there is a simple solution. Give Danny and other agents of Wikimedia
special powers which can't be overridden by admins. Let them protect
pages in a way that they can't be unprotected by admins, and let them
delete defamatory information, copyright violations, and other legally
problematic material, permanently, in a way that the information can't
even be read by admins.
In cases where it's necessary to remove information this way, the case is
forwarded to me and I trim the revisions manually. Either it's *extremely* rare
or Danny isn't telling me about such things.
A wiki-accessible version of this is partly implemented but incomplete
(currently it doesn't mix properly with regular page deletion.)
