Handling of reports

Child endangerment, child protection and child pornography

Reports of editors attempting pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships should by made to the Wikimedia Foundation by email: legal-reports@wikimedia.org. Reports of issues concerning images should be sent to the same email address.

Apparent on-wiki advocacy

Editors appearing to be pushing agendas can be referred to any administrator in exactly the same way as any other POV-pushing allegation. Comments posted on Misplaced Pages suggesting that an editor may be a pedophile will be RevDeleted promptly, to avoid issues of privacy and possible libel. You should raise your concerns only by email; questions or accusations directed against a particular editor in project space may result in a block for the editor who posted them.
