I have noticed that google also have in his index the "talk:something" namespace and "user:something", "User talk:something" on the English and the Dutch wikipedia. The others i do not know.
And it also haves in his index the MetaWikipedia.
I find that google should not index our internall affairs. Only the aricles, nothing else. And that the MetaWikipedia is not especialy for the general public. I should also not be in the index of google.
Am I alone about this ?
Our internal affairs aren't exactly internal -- it's an open, public discussion and everyone's welcome to participate. If Google helps people find the discussion, that's fine by me.
If something isn't meant for the general public, it shouldn't be put on a public web server with an open content license. ;) If you're afraid to have your name or your customary handle attached to your opinions in the public record, don't use your real name when you speak in public.
