I assume that this is a piece of UK law, which probably doesn't apply to Wikipedia since the servers and the WMF are based in Florida. However, IANAL, and the UK has some wacky defamation/anti-libel laws, so anything could happen.
No UK law against mention spent convictions. Otherwise tabloids would never be out of court. Foundation doesn't have any UK assets and there is not reason for any of the board memeber to enter the UK.
Provided it's sourced, of course.
It is.
It's been AFD'ed twice, and kept both times. At present it's semi-protected, which is the appropriate action to take when extensive IP/sockpuppet vandalism has taken place.
It has been blanked by a member of OTRS. Admins have already ben slightly made aware of the problem:

Where exactly are they going wrong?
