Hi guys,

Here's a hypothetical for you. Say somebody posts a piece of information about, say, an American-designed weapon, to the Wikipedia. A piece of information that the US government would prefer to be kept secret and thus is classified. Now, the person that originally leaked the information could certainly be punished under US law, but is the Wikipedia under any *legal* obligation to delete the information, assuming it's relevant?

And assuming the information is verifiable -- this might be non-trivial for leaked secrets.
