:People may also be having their Wifi used without knowing it. Many wireless routers do not alert the owners that it can be used by anyone if it has no password. Secondly, if it has a password (especially WEP) I've read that these are often trivial to circumvent.

About this proposal: | |||
"* Users may be blocked from editing by an administrator to protect WikiIndex and its editors from harm." | |||
I assume this is referring to "private" information. I'm writing a more in-depth analysis, and trying to establish consensus [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#Biographical_info|here]]. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 03:04, 29 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
:As for the time being, I would suggest you go with [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons Wikipedia's guidelines on biographical information] and also include their standard of notability as explained in that link. For example, most wiki administrators would not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline therefore you would delete information about them. When editors complain or violate it, someone might direct them [[WikiIndex:Policies_and_Guidelines#Biographical_info]] and maybe they will present their case and we could establish some general guidelines that would work better for WikiIndex being that it generally has a more specialized notability criteria.

:Secondly, perhaps some standard could be established regarding wikis being excluded if they do not meet basic legal requirements for privacy, or whatever standards may be agreed upon by a significant majority of editors. If there gets to be edit warring over the policy pages so this "consensus" is not possible, the owners would have to decide, I suppose. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 03:04, 29 August 2009 (EDT) | |||
