Wikipedia Bans Paedophiles

Posted by BLueRibbon on 2007-April-22 18:31:25 EDT, Sunday

I posted this on BC, but forgot to post it at GC....

Wikipedia has decided to block people for identifying as paedophiles on their userpage.

I know that many people feel that CL activism is pointless, but when we are not even allowed to say who we are without being ostracized, we really need to do something about it.

You can contact the administrator who blocked me, HighInBC (maybe he's a closeted BL ;-)) on his Wikipedia talk page ⚠️ ↗. You can also contact him at ⛓️‍💥[Removed], or via his organisation's phone [EDIT] - please ask to speak to Ryan Bushby.

You can also contact Fred Bauder ⚠️ ↗ on his talk page, regarding the removal of Zanthalon and Silent War's userpage, or Wikipedia owner Jimbo Wales ⚠️ ↗, who blocked Clayboy.

Please do NOT harass them. A few things they need to know are

Paedophile activism is protected free speech.
Paedophile activism is not illegal.
Their actions are potentially a form of illegal discrimination.

Edited by BB: HighinBC has e-mailed us and asked that his phone number be removed because that is his work number and has nothing to do with Wikipedia or his online activities. I do not see it as an unreasonable request that we remove his work number, so I have honored it. Please don't re-post that number publicly.
