Re: [WikiEN-l] [Wikimedia-l] Legality under French law of hosting personal details such as race and sexuality in Wikipedia
I've been told (and have verified) that the French Wikipedia indeed does without categories to mark people as Jewish, LGBT, etc. I actually quite like that approach.

What about infoboxes and leads? They must mention ethnicity, religion, sexuality, etc. somewhere. -- ~~yutsi Sent from my iPhone.

If the prose has a citation, someone is has published these details first, and should have obtained consent. On Aug 20, 2012 7:55 AM, "Wyatt Lucas" wrote: > What about infoboxes and leads?

To give some examples: The article on Steven Spielberg says in the section on his films that his own Jewish descent has been a factor in the critical reception of his work. The one on Woody Allen says in the lead that his work presents a caricature of the intellectual New York Jew, and says in the biography that he is descended from German-speaking Russian-Austrian Jews. The one on Ed Miliband says under "Family" that his parents were Polish Jews who fled from Belgium during the second World War. The one on Jeff Goldblum mentions that he is from a Jewish Orthodox family, and played a Jewish character in one of his films. These are the only mentions of the word juif/juive (Jew/Jewish) on the respective pages. No categories and no infobox statements about Jewishness. ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
