If you ve been sexually harassed in wikipedia this is not a matter to be
solved on a mailing list or by Safety team. Go to you local authorities and
report it. This is a very serious matter to just become an essay for
someone or belive that it can be solved by administrators or safety team.
Safety team in my harassment case told me to "politely" ask my harrasers to
stop harassing me. Please don t relay on them for such a serious matter!
Please be safe and I m sure you can seek help by trained and serious people
by your local authorities.
I wish someone could told me that in my case then and not point me to
safety team. They will not help you.
