[WikiEN-l] BADSITES ArbCom case in progress

[Armed Blowfish]

Also, y'all should be aware that in order for
Wikipaedia to qualify as an innocent disseminater
under the United Kingdom's Defamation Act 1996,
the following criteria must be met:

(1) In defamation proceedings a person has a
     defence if he shows that—
     (a) he was not the author, editor or publisher
           of the statement complained of,
     (b) he took reasonable care in relation to its
           publication, and
     (c) he did not know, and had no reason to
          believe, that what he did caused or
          contributed to the publication of a
          defamatory statement.

The full text of the Defamation Act 1996 can be
found here:

Note that the third criteria is not met if Wikipaedia
is informed of the defamatory material, asked to
remove it, and fails to do so.

y'all, just letting you know....
