This is an information page.

Pedophilia or the advocacy of pedophilia on the English Misplaced Pages is strictly prohibited. Editors who self-identify as pedophiles or who advocate pedophilia will be blocked indefinitely. As allegations concerning pedophilia are very serious and can be extremely damaging, all editors must avoid making speculative public accusations.

In clear cases, such as the self-identification of a pedophile, administrators are asked to block the user with a neutral block summary that directs the editor to contact the Arbitration Committee via email, disable talk page editing, and the editor's Misplaced Pages email. The blocking administrator should also notify the Committee as soon as possible.

In less clear-cut cases, such as identification through article edits or discussion comments, users should contact the Arbitration Committee privately via email at arbcom-l@lists.wikimedia.org. The Committee will then examine the situation and take the appropriate action.

Because of the sensitivity of this type of allegation, all editors are asked to remain civil, and make no accusatory comments of any kind.
