This is not a big thing, but I'd thought I'd raise the topic here first, for on Wikipedia it could be possibly viewed as a "legal treat"
There is an article within Wikipedia which deals with a murder in Australia committed by minors.
The Court has ruled that at least one of the perpetrator's cannot be named. I did a Google search and none of the commerical media outlets (including Reuters & CNN) makes mention of this individuals name, however that individual is named in the article by a Australian Editor - (happens to be a admin).
In my viewpoint this Editor is clearly in contempt of court. Would the Wikipedia Foundation be in contempt?
This happened quite frequently on the
Baby P article. There were concerns about editorial control, which I answered at
Talk:Death_of_Baby_P#editorial_control. I doubt the WMF would be held in contempt of court unless they were aware of the problem, and declined to do anything about it.
Please inform oversight-l@wikimedia.org of the problem so that they can remove the problem, if they decide that it is necessary. Once it has been removed, if you believe the addition was intentional/malicious, report it to Arbcom, ANI, WP, or otherwise make hay about it however you wish. Unless of course the Australian admin was me, in which hail me as a freedom fighter.
The Australian editor may not be aware of the court order, in which case we need to document the court order on the article, or add an edit notice for that page.
