We have a little issue on the fr.wikipedia, and I wondered whether that kind of pb
already occurred to you (probably did), and what you would do about it.
Some time ago, a new user, Mulot, joined us. She started many articles all related to
religion. These articles were apparently results of collaborations between her and other
people she is related to. Very valuable stuff imho. However, it appears that she doesnot
fit with the wiki project very well (hum, she got pretty hot with our comments and
modifications, though frankly light). Today, she just blew the lid off (so to speak, would
you say that ?). Put all her articles in the list �to be deleted�. And said she wanted all
of them to be deleted, as well as the talk pages.
When she said she would delete all if we did not do it (tomorrow, Paris time 10:41, LOL).,
Aoineko answered of course she was not the owner of the articles, so (beside the technical
issue of deletion) she had no �right� upon them. She, then, threatened that the articles
could �reveal� themselves copyrighted.
This afternoon, she started to delete 5 pages, her personal one, her discussion page,
three discussion pages and an article. Aoineko, fortunately, reverted the vandalism.
So the questions I would ask
- what rights does she have on pages ?
I specifically think of her personal page. Is a personal page somebody�s property ?
Intuitively, I would say yes, and I would say someone has the right to delete his own page
as well as the talk page attached. What is the policy about that ?
What is the �policy� about discussion pages ? Is one�s content of a discussion page
personal or not ?
- what can we do against a deletion campaign ? Is there a solution other than
Aoineko keeping restoring pages until she gets tired ? (in case you ask, she is probably
not on a fixed IP)
- what about the threat of the articles finally revealing themselves copyrighted
?
To say the least, I am very troubled
