[WikiEN-l] Threats made on Wikipedia

[Rjd0060 -]

To clarify my comment (" If somebody called 911 and said the things that
were posted on the article, they would take it seriously, and we should
too.")...if somebody called the police and said they were going kill people
(like the user did<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eltham_High_School&diff=prev&oldid=179366969>),
they would not be so quick to dismiss it, and that Im absolutely certain.
