In any case wikipedia currently hosts at least one article that would appear to be in contempt of a UK court ruling which some might feel is more of a concern.
In fact the information is spread on several articles. It seems that no English court has attempted to enforce contempt of court on foreign publications (though one Judge seems keen to try it with defamation actions). Would the article talk pages benefit from a reminder that the law on whether British editors are subject to the injunction is as yet untested, or would this just draw attention?
Could people please provide links when they bring up a specific example?
They're in the UK (as are you and I), so I for one don't want to know. And I make a point of not touching the articles of UK-based article subjects with any reputation for litigousness - there's quite enough admins based in the US to deal with that sort of thing.
