The project page associated with this talk page is an official policy on Wikipedia. Policies have wide acceptance among editors and are considered a standard for all users to follow. Please review policy editing recommendations before making any substantive change to this page. Always remember to keep cool when editing, and don't panic. |
How long ago does a violation of this policy need to have occurred for it to no longer be actionable?
For example: comments on an article's talk page many years ago, and where the particular user account has not been active for years as well.
Is material in the example actioned upon or, do we consider it stale and unactionable due to its age and the user no longer being active? -- dsprc [talk] 05:52, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
I added a sub section below "Handling of reports":
=== No legal threats ===
If you post a legal threat on Wikipedia, you are likely to be blocked indefinitely. A polite report of a legal problem is not a threat and will be acted on quickly.
but it has been removed with the edit summary "this doesn't seem to have any obvious relevance here".
The section is of course relevant, because a natural inclination of an agreived parent is to threaten to seek legal recourse, and we want to assist them, not have to block them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 08:22, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
