I understand this is a draft. And correct me if I'm wrong, but this may be the global privacy policy affecting all projects.
However there's a definitely bias towards both 1) english speaking world and 2) english wikipedia.
Excerpt: * ''Whether you register with your real name or with a pseudonym, you should note that registered users may gain more access to the Wikimedia projects. For example, only registered users can create a new page on the Wikipedia. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:User_access_levels.)''
# THE Wikipedia is NOT the english wikipedia # That statement is false in most wikis.
I just want people working on this to be extra careful to write a good policy taking in account all projects and languages, not focusing on the needs of the english wikipedia. ~~~~
