Could you post a link to one or two of the discussions, and how they went
down? I really need to read something like that right now.

You linked to a discussion on the ideas lab which you stated included 26
people speaking out against sexual harassment. Most of those people are not
indeffed or sanctioned in any way. Many of them are administrators or hold
other permissions.

Once again this is an area which needs research and numbers, starting
with looking at all the complaints and even mentions of harassment at
WP:ANI and WP:Arbitration for say the last 5 years. If I wasn't busy
catching up on my own projects, I'd help any of the researchers who have
come by
Hi All -
I wanted to take a quick second and introduce myself. My name is Francesca
Tripodi and I'm working on my dissertation in Sociology/Media Studies. I'm
looking specifically at participatory media spaces (Reality TV, Yik Yak,
and Wikipedia) and a strong theme emerging in my cases are how

Hi Neotarf,
I am surprised to discover that you believe I have been indeffed.
Perhaps you need to redefine what you are talking about. There are dozens
of people on this list, and plenty of others on that page you just linked,
who have objected publicly to sexual harassment but have never been blocked
or

Neotarf is correct, it is the guideline to address suicide threats and
similar threats of serious harm to self or others (e.g., "I'm going to go
shoot up my school") - in other words, that guideline is intended to
capture situations where there is a reason to contact police or similar
authorities
I have a simple question to ask: How many people in this thread have
publicly or privately requested to the Wikimedia Foundation ED that
additional resources be assigned to trust and safety issues such as death
threats?
There was an annual plan posted for about three days of community comment
The WMF may or may not help editors who are receiving death threats via
their email systems - I'd venture to guess that in the majority of cases
they're handled by admins or CUs or arbitrators by the expedient of
blocking the accounts with email turned off. If you're saying you really

i and carol have a somewhat different experience with the police. it is
unclear if i would trust them to keep identity confidential. WMF should act
regardless of legal status. this merry go round of not providing clear
lines of responsibility and action (other than round file) is part of
A lot of online threats, including death/rape threats, aren't really
worth taking seriously. They're just talk, rude-arse and not even
remotely productive, but still just the sort of dumbarse talk some
people try to do to bully folks. Blocking them is indeed reasonable, as
they are unlikely to
I'll be happy to see a lot of the information and reasoning explained in
the harassment document, including first encouraging people to contact
an administrator. (Identifying administrators who are experienced in the
topic would help too.)
Reasons one might not immediately contact police -
@Carol Moore, I believe that link is about suicide threats. Did you mean
to link to something else?

I was referring to threats to kill someone that clearly come from a
known Wikipedia handle or editor, or, as in my case, a person who is
known because it's the same kind of message they have been known to send
to various others many times before.
In my case threats were sent through Wikimedia

risker you are joking? a death threat is a case for the police not for the
wikimedia foundation. wikimedia foundation is not a para-military or
para-police organization replacing standard legal systems, the wikimedia
community is also not a community outside other legal systems, with special
rules

"rot in hell", that's not a death threat. It was an interesting challenge
