An example might really clear this discussion up. When I delete
something, I'm not really acting on behalf of the foundation at all.
I'm acting as myself with consensus driven policy to back me up.
Legally I don't really even understand what the issues might be. No
one has a right to post a picture of their cat to wikipedia, so when I
delete it, I don't really feel as if I've opened myself up to any
legal claims. *confused*
