1, Did we publish contact information in this instance?
The media may
have done so, but I don't think we did. Of course we would generally
remove it. I do when i see it.
2. When have we published an article with identifiable information
about a victim or stalking?--or published one at all? The recent
concerns have been much more indirect,
3. We are careful about minors. And as someone pointed out, she's over
18. She's a prominent amateur athlete. We'd be doing wrong if we
didn't cover it. I am ashamed of working with people who want to
censor it. They aren't devoted to building an honest encyclopedia.
I haven't seriously dug into the specifics of this issue, but I would
believe that a national championship would pass the notability test.
Simply being a minor should not be bar to having an article to outline
her accomplishments, and give reasonable biographical. In some sports,
especially women's gymnastics, Olympic champions can be less than 18.
Would we have hesitated to write about Nadia Comenici just because of
her age?
