I think that all Wikipedia pages should contain somewhere (say, at the bottom) a link to a page where people could complain about the content of the articles. (I'm talking here of complaints about breach of privacy, copyright violation, libel etc.)
I strongly agree. Currently there are two problems; firstly people not knowing where to report and problem and therefore not bothering, and secondly, people assuming that the board email address is the place to send all issues. A page which explains where each type of problem should be reported would be helpful, not only for people needing this information, but also for those people who are faced with constant queries in the wrong place.
I created link to http://www.wikicities.com/wiki/Report_a_problem on every Wikicity in an attempt to address this, since we were having the same problem there as we have at Wikimedia. Perhaps a similar page could be developed and translated for Wikimedia, and it might also be useful for such a link to become a default part of MediaWiki since the "contact us" link has now gone (from the default skin anyway).
