Dealing with threats of trouble outside of Wikipedia
Hello. I noticed that at least one user involved in Plum Grove Junior High School was under pressure to somehow get a Wikipedia page deleted, even though that's a Wikipedia community decision. I don't know if you are also involved. You may be interested in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Legal/Legal_Policies#Defense_of_Contributors - If someone outside of Wikipedia is pushing you to control Wikipedia, or trying to get you in trouble because you used Wikipedia, you (or your parents) are encouraged to e-mail [mailto:legal@wikimedia.org legal@wikimedia.org] (that's wikiMedia with an M) and tell them what's going on, even if it isn't a court case, to let the Wikimedia Foundation (which owns Wikipedia) know and see if they can help your situation. This also applies to anyone else you know who is being told they are in trouble for using Wikipedia; let them know also. --Closeapple (talk) 21:51, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * It appears things have calmed down at the school about this: see User talk:Closeapple, which I got just after leaving you this message. Feel free to remember this information if it happens to you later though. --Closeapple (talk) 22:26, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
