Jan,

Regarding my questions on https://transparency.wikimedia.org/ below, it has been three weeks since I forwarded them to you. Would you please answer them?

Were the five requests for content removal based on the right to be forgotten included in the 243 requests to alter or take down content?

Can you please say what proportion of those involving living people claiming defamation were discussed by the community e.g. on the English Wikipedia's WP:BLPN?

I am also interested as to why these questions have not been allowed on the publicpolicy mailing list. My questions to the moderator Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov of August 15 have not been answered, either.

Hi all

Many of you may have already seen it and we are really excited about the transparency report that we released earlier this week:

https://transparency.wikimedia.org/

Highlights:

243 requests to alter or remove content from the projects. None were granted.

13 requests to disclose nonpublic user information. None were granted.

22 requests under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act to remove copyrighted material from the projects. Six were granted.

Please find more info about the report in this blogpost.

Best, Jan
