Category for individuals who had their work censored?

I think we should create such category; sample person who should be in it: Wilhelm Reich. Thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:43, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Support, I think this is a great idea. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 16:34, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

@Cirt:. I have created said category, now at Category:People who had their work censored (syntax similar to Category:People who have walked on the Moon. Or should it be Category:Victims of censorship? We should redirect one into the other, probably. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:21, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thank you, sounds good. — Cirt (talk) 15:12, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Sadly, the category has been deleted (Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_15#Category:People_who_had_their_work_censored). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:16, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Editors may find the following useful: pl:Kategoria:Autorzy objęci zapisem cenzury w Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej - category for authors censored in People's Republic of Poland. I hope that one day English Misplaced Pages's consensus will change and we will categorize authors (and works) by place and date of censorship, too. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:35, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Internet Censorship By Country

Given the recent push requiring an "opt-out" to remove blocks on generally available content, shouldn't the United Kingdom be updated to show "selective censorship" or "changing situation"? --Connelly90 07:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

The Internet censorship by country map was recently updated following the release of a new Internet Enemies list by Reporters Without Borders. See Talk:Internet censorship by country#Enemies of the Internet 2014 for additional information. -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 04:05, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Video Game Censorship

Seeing as there is an article on video game censorship, shouldn't it be given its own heading under "Censorship by medium"? --76.200.204.148 (talk) 14:34, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Done -Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 13:23, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Notification of a TFA nomination

In the past, there have been requests that discussions about potentially controversial TFAs are brought to the attention of more than just those who have WP:TFAR on their watchlist. With that in mind: Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties has been nominated for an appearance as Today's Featured Article. If you have any views, please comment at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests. — Cirt (talk) 20:28, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Voroshilov, Molotov, Stalin, with Nikolai Yezhov image

Is reference to the File:Voroshilov, Molotov, Stalin, with Nikolai Yezhov.jpg image a good example of censorship? I would regard it more essentially as being an example of PR and spin and don't see the content as central to the article topic. GregKaye ✍♪ 06:00, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Category for editing wikipedia articles to remove information or add bias?

Here's something that probably amounts to attempting to suppress an impression:

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/03/nypd-wont-punish-cops-for-sanitizing-wikipedia-police-brutality-entries/

I'm not sure which of the methods it falls under. Does anyone want to have an opinion? ArthurDent006.5 (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
