An proposal that might slightly reduce the need for out-of-process actions (e.g., Brian Peppers, Lolicon pic):
Including information that has the effect of being hurtful or embarrassing to another person when there is very little information content added is the issue.
This is probably going to be a stretch for us, a rather subtle matter. There is a dark side to published information. Some of it is quite hurtful without adding appreciably to the body of human knowledge.

Interesting, I'll have to look at it. I have to ask--is this a prelude to being bought out by Google? ;)
Hoo boy. The wikipedia haters will be all over that policy. If said document proceeds to become a guideline, expect many cases of vandalism. I agree with the spirit of what's being attempted here, though.

Yes indeed, a sanitized version must be worked up for distribution in Mainland China. Their national slogan, "Is it helpful; is it kind".
