Starting at the back, and working forward, my posts are not random. They are carefully selected examples based on my experience as (currently) a reader of Wikipedia and my responses to what I found. I take it as obvious that if I can read these articles, so can their subjects, and if they don't like what they see, making appropriate noises, or (in extreme cases) litigating against the Foundation.

What you seem to be arguing for is a mailing list dedicated to the issues you raise. The point I was making is that re-purposing this mailing list (wiki-en-l) for that purpose is unlikely to succeed (or be desirable), and that is what I meant by references to this being a bit random. In other words, the venue(s) you are chosing for raising these matters seem a bit random. What you seem to be looking for is a mailing list version of the BLP Noticeboard. I've copied the WMF mailing list on this post (as you added that mailing list when you replied), but I won't see any replies to that mailing list as I'm not subscribed there. I've removed Jimmy from the cc list, as the posts to public mailing lists should be sufficient.

OK, Chris. Let's see what happens next.
