I have to say, this is a delightful image :-) We had some problems in the past on enwiki with this "officially secret" situation - well-meaning military personnel trying to remove information from articles citing operational security reasons, even when the information was definitionally public. Strictly speaking, had *they* told us the information, they could perhaps have been breaching operational security; the problem came from not connecting that to the realisation that not everyone was bound by their specific security restrictions. (I forget the precise pages - a map of military zones in Iraq was involved in one, and I've also seen someone try and remove mention of where US divisions were based in Germany, which was perhaps a bit like trying to hide the proverbial elephant...) -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
