-- Aphaea@*.wikipedia.org email: Aphaia @ gmail (dot) com Going-on issue 2: K.M. vs "Wikipedia Japan"(sic) Case 2: Warning of assucsation to a libel of "Wikipedia Japan"(sic) on some administrative activities; including deletion and page protection Curent status: Dormant Period: from February 2004 till June 2004 Major disputes: 1. Is deletion of articles libel to a certain organisation or not? 2. Are POV articles libel to a certain organisation or not? 3. Is page protection libel or not? 4. Will K.M. have any benefits from the above accusations? Background K.M. is a registered user on Japanese and English Wikipedia, and has been banned on Japanese Wikipedia since April 2004. K.M. was a industrious contributor on Japanese Wikipedia, related to the Bible and Christianity. According to K.M.'s user page, K.M. is a faithful of Jehovah's Witnesses, Chrisitian or Christianity-influenced denomination. Except this, his identification is unclear. Since the late of 2003 it has been pointed out that K.M.'s articles were on the point of the view of Jehovah's Witnesses strongly and some Wikipedians suspected if these articles violated their publifications. In the early of February 2004, some of his articles was apparently pointed ouf as copyright and licence violation of Jehovah's Witnesses publification. but K.M. insisted they were original and had no relation between the denomination's publifications. K.M. didn't admit those copyright violation, and after their deletion, sh/e claimed those deletions challenged to the freedom of expression and belief in a BBS serving ja.wp, and Arbitration page on en.wp. Besides that, K.M. has disputed with other contributors how doctrines of Jehovah's Witnesses should be placed among the description of Christianity in general. From both sides K.M. caused edit wars, it brought up a request for his blocking on March. On March some of his contributions began to be listed on the Request for deletion page, too. K.M. erased sometimes other contributors' comment supporting deletion. Finally he was blocked indefinitely because of those erasions (it is a legitimate reason of blocking on Japanese Wikipedia). and opened a channel to discuss his blocking on the Idobata BBS (Village Pump BBS) which an Wikipedian run voluntarily. Later two faithfuls pointed out closely identification of K.M.'s contributions' and denominaition's publifications, and requested for deletion of those articles. Those articles were deleted because of copyright violation. On 6/8 K.M. (or a person under his name) posted a warning of accusation to Wikipedia Japan (sic) because of libel. The post of K.M. pointed out three points who K.M. considered as libel; ''unjust'' deletion of his/her articles, ''POV'' on some christianity-related articles (the meaning of this statement is uncertain) and page protections of those articles. >> In http://taurus.kake.info.waseda.ac.jp/wikip/joyful/joyful.u.cgi?mode=res&... 私の記事の不当な削除、[[十字架]]、[[復活祭]]、[[キリスト教系の新宗教]]での偏向な内容（POV)の記事記載＆管理人による不当ページ保護が続いているようですので、名誉毀損でWikipedia Japanを告発する。 Because of two reasons this warning seems to be ineffective, according to some Wikipedians. First, it is uncertain what meant there ''Wikipedia Japan''; if it was intended ''Japanese Wikipedia'', according to the Japanese law, it has no legal subject; it is not even ''organisation without regal rights'', so hard to be an opponent side of a suit. Second, on those points s/he referred, it was unclear "to whom" the lebel has be done. Unless K.M. is an agent of Jehovah's Witnesses, libel to J.W. (as organisation) is not a libel to K.M. as individual. In Japanese law a suit on libel is processed only based on request of interested party, it is therefore doubtful if his accusation would be processed to a suit. On the other hand K.M. stated these were libels to the denomination, not to him. Discussion on this issues continued to 6/11 substantially. It is uncertain if K.M. has done any other activities related to this matter.
