I was askied to take a look at this:
In fi.wikipedia.org couple admins (w:fi:User:Joonasl and w:fi:User:MikkoM) have added Google analytics on every pageload (here). That is really annoinning and it has to be against to Wikimedia's privacy rules. There is no need for that. Please can you or somebody do something? --Anonacco 20:27, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I really don't know about it but I recall a long discussion about google analytics a few weeks ago. Where who or how should this be handled?
The Google Analytics bug was added into the copyright notice: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A4rjestelm%C3%A4viesti:Copyright
Anyone techcnically savvy that can enlighten me? And I'm sending this to foudnation-l since I don't know if this has privacy/persinal info issues
Last time we determined it was absolutely unacceptable, if I remember correctly.

Indeed. This breaks the official Wikimedia privacy policy: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy
In particular « Wikimedia will not sell or share private information [...] with third parties, unless you agree to release this information, or it is required by law to release the information. »
Hi!

Yay privacy policy. I removed the analytics script, and I'm tempted to do something else. Anyway, if anyone needs stats, we have full page view statistics already (announced today on wikitech-l:

) so there're no excuses of shipping private data outside of WMF cluster.

and I'm tempted to do something else.
Elaborate please.

Thanks. Is that what the researchers asked about before?
