Do you think that if the Wikimedia Foundation gets a phone call from someone complaining about copyright infringement, they're going to say, "Sorry, we're not going to do anything unless you send it in writing with all the elements required for a takedown notice"?
I don't know, but that's pretty off-topic.
Also, Jimmy has stated that most of the problems that people are complaining over are not legal problems, but inaccuracy problems.
The two are not neatly separable. Fundamentally, defamation cases involve inaccuracy problems.
But inaccuracy problems aren't necessarily defamation.
So, if I find an inaccuracy in Wikipedia, should I call up Danny?
No, you should edit the article, unless the article is actually about you.

I thought there was no policy that articles on living people were treated any differently.
