[WikiEN-l] Another Media and Wikipedia blackout on NYT reporter in Afghanistan

"Do no harm" isn't a consensus however.
That language is so incredibly vague it could be taken to mean almost 
anything.
Fred we've been over this many times on this list :)
You really want to do it again?
We have articles on murder victims which appear on the top of Google, 
keeping that fresh in the minds and at the fingertips of anyone with an 
interest prurient or not.
You don't think that "harms" the remaining living family?
"Do no harm" is an unworkable phrase.
Calling Lee Majors last movie "trite" even with a source is harmful to 
his career I'm sure.

Interesting, as there is a consensus. It just isn't written down. Do no
harm; any problem with that?
