"It is understood that one person has received a police caution for defacing Miss Cameron's entry on online encyclopaedia Wikipedia."

Now, that's interesting. It doesn't specify what offence the caution was for, although it seems from context that it was for harassment. In the vast majority of cases defacing BLPs aren't part of a campaign of harassment, but it is still good to see that the police to recognise that people are still subject to law when they edit Wikipedia (no-one would ever actually say otherwise, of course, but their actions may suggest otherwise).
