Wikipedia talk:Child protection/Archive 1

I have quite a few ideas on this, and will work on expanding this page along with anyone else who's got the time and energy :-) Privatemusings (talk) 01:12, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed: Children should be careful at Wikipedia, as on the web in general. Parents who think their children need protection should protect them. Wikipedia is not censored. (Total policy).
 * not sure who wrote this - but I think it's desirable to think a bit more about the issues - the approach you suggest seems to be a) a bit of a dull trump 'end of discussion' type card and b) abdicates responsibility unnecessarily Privatemusings (talk) 01:33, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Good idea
It's important to consider the problem of the participation of vulnerable contributors such as children systematically, and not just from a privacy perspective. An important question to keep in mind early on is at what level – board, foundation, editing community etc. – various relevant issues are best addressed.

Advertise
This should perhaps be advertised on the village pump and other prominent places.  Majorly  talk  20:02, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

external meeting
Just a note to say that I'm meeting tomorrow with a volunteering body down here in australia, and hope to either get some good advice, or better yet, persuade some external experts to engage with this project :-) Privatemusings (talk) 01:33, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
 * it was interesting - more to come, but one immediate outcome was the strong advice 'you should never invite a volunteer to your home, or go to theirs' - this could help, longer term, establish good guidance for things like Meetups (which I have to say are trundling along with no reported problems as far as I'm aware).
