[WikiEN-l] [Foundation-l] Legal obligation to report Wikipedia editor under UCMJ (Mike G weigh in?)

[Versageek]

So, when did we give Jimsch62 access to Checkuser, so he could know that
the other editor was editing from a military computer? Seems to me that
absent evidence to prove where the editor is connecting from (eg: no proof
that any law is being broken) the only purpose of the threat would be to
harass & intimidate the other editor.

IMHO,
