Comments that defame an individual may leave you open to being sued by them.

#If the material is still there, remove it immediately. You may wish to use an edit summary like "Removing possible defamation" to prevent it from being reverted.
#Leave a note on the ] saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. ''Do not repeat the claim(s)''. The revision(s) containing the material can then be deleted from the page history.
