| Iste resolution que declara le position del Fundation concernente Biographias de Personas Vivente ha essite adoptate in april 2009. |
Le Fundation Wikimedia vole prender iste opportunitate de reiterar alcun principios fundamental concernente nostre vision, mission e valores commun. Un de iste valores commun a tote nostre projectos es un dedication a mantener un puncto de vista neutral.
In nostre effortios a offerer un fonte de cognoscentia que es preciose e utile a omnes, nos ha le responsabilitate de sustener iste valores per publicar information accurate. Le participantes in le projectos de Wikimedia ha create ressources de vaste dimension e varietate. Como nos ha sublineate durante plure annos, in addition al quantitate del cognoscentia disponibile, le question de su qualitate es equalmente essential. Le qualitate generalmente bon del information in le projectos de Wikimedia ha essite confirmate per un numero de studios, ma il es importante que nos aspira sempre a perfectionar lo. Como pro omne effortio a publicar materiales educative e informative, es necessari evitar errores, specialmente errores con le potential de causar injuria. Un del areas ubi isto es applicabile es le scriptura super personas vivente.
De plus in plus, le articulos de Wikimedia es inter le prime resultatos del motores de recerca del web pro quasi omne consulta. Isto vole dicer que, quando un emplator potential, collega, amico, vicino o cognoscito cerca information super un persona, ille pote trovar lo al sitos de Wikimedia. Quanto le popularitate del projectos de Wikimedia cresce, tanto cresce le responsabilitate commun del contributores de assecurar que omne articulos super personas vivente sia scribite in modo neutral, accurate e ben referentiate.
As our popularity has grown, some issues have become more prominent:
- Many people create articles that are overly promotional in tone: about themselves, people they admire, or those they are paid to represent. These are not neutral, and have no place in our projects. Generally, the Wikimedia community protects the projects well against this common problem by deleting or improving hagiographies.
- People sometimes vandalize articles about living people. The Wikimedia community has developed tools and techniques for counteracting vandalism: in general they seem to work reasonably well.
- Some articles about living people contain small errors, are poorly-written or poorly-sourced. Articles about people who are only marginally well-known are often neglected, and tend to improve much more slowly over time, if at all.
- People sometimes make edits designed to smear others. This is difficult to identify and counteract, particularly if the malicious editor is persistent.
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees urges the global Wikimedia community to uphold and strengthen our commitment to high-quality, accurate information, by:
- Ensuring that projects in all languages that describe living people have policies in place calling for special attention to the principles of neutrality and verifiability in those articles;
- Taking human dignity and respect for personal privacy into account when adding or removing information, especially in articles of ephemeral or marginal interest;
- Investigating new technical mechanisms to assess edits, particularly when they affect living people, and to better enable readers to report problems;
- Treating any person who has a complaint about how they are described in our projects with patience, kindness, and respect, and encouraging others to do the same.
