Your report on Administrator noticeboard

Just wanted to let you know that I have provided you with some information on how to tell the difference between a revision deletion and a suppression, as well as additional information about the use of suppression back at the thread.[3] I'll just say here again that jumping to the worst possible conclusion when you see something that you don't understand is very unhelpful. One of the main things that we suppress (oversight) from articles is telephone numbers and home addresses; we don't know whose they are, only that those people are likely to get phone calls and harassing visits. We will suppress potentially libellous statements, as well as other private or non-public information (like charge card numbers, medical records). Revision deletion is more commonly used on BLPs for unsourced or poorly sourced controversial or questionable material; however, sometimes it may border on potentially libellous, in which case it may actually get suppressed. As I've noted in the thread, in the over 2 years that I've been working with the Oversight/suppression tools, I can think of less than a handful of situations where something was suppressed for "legal" reasons, and then only at the request of WMF staff, or by WMF staff. I hope this, and my response in the AN thread, helps you to understand what has happened with the relevant articles. Risker (talk) 04:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
