Let's just have Paedo-Wiki and be done with it.
We have wikis for over 200 languages. It would be wrong not to allow paedos to express themselves.
I recognize your sarcasm, but not your point.
Well, I guess I just don't know where this conversation is going.
A paedophile might know a lot about the Spanish Civil War and could usefully add stuff.
A murderer might know a lot about Pokemon.
A rapist might know a lot about physics.
It's not like we're going to know the personality involved, so surely we just have to accept that editors come in all shapes and sizes and let them get on with it.
Just as a point of interest, do we block people currently incarcerated from editing?
I have a vague recollection that one of the most voluminous contributors to the original edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, was actually a prisoner...
