Hi, The Wikipedia entry "Category:Soviet spies" is a magnet for a defamation lawsuit. Many of the people in the list were never indicted, and some denied the charge in public. At least one person is still alive: "Harry Magdoff". At best, this should be renamed to something like: "Category:Accused Soviet spies" . I freely confess I have a vested interest in this matter, currently well into the second month of mdiation with Nobs01on a related matter without a single compromise paragraph having been written: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/ Cberlet_and_Nobs01/Workshop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/ Cberlet_and_Nobs01 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation/ Cberlet_and_Nobs01/A3 But since this mediation seems to be dragging on for months, I though that I would mention this now, rather than wait for the mediation to hit the year 2006. Some folks here on this list should consider the possible defmation issue very seriously. I messed up my first attempt to deal with this on Wiki. I meant to suggest a name change or deletion, but misunderstood the process. I have prevailed after being sued for defamation twice, but it cost tens of thousands of dollars just to get a judge to toss me out of the case.

I suggest you bring this up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CFD I agree that the change needs to be made. Perhaps there can be a second category for confirmed Soviet spies.
