-It would be helpful in the translation of the new privacy policy to have a definition of the phrase 'personally identifiable information'. Can someone provide this? [[User:Lloffiwr|Lloffiwr]] 14:11, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

+God Works For The Good
-== policy violation? ==
-The policy says that info on page visits are not exposed publically, but there is a bot which is publishing page after page of user's search terms along with their username and I think for non-users IP address: here are many such pages:
-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Newpage_bot_search_results]
+And we know that in all things
-also failed search terms are logged:
+God works for the good of those who love him.
-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexNewArtBot/BadSearchResult]
+And we know that in all things
-(there are dozens of archives of the above page stretching back several months, with page names of the form ../archive26). Given the controversy over search engines retaining user data and in some cases publishing it, these pages seem a gross violation of user privacy. Do wikipedia visitors know that the search terms they use have become a matter of public record? I doubt it.
+God works for the good of those who love him.
-[[User:Weeksinput|Weeksinput]] 03:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
-:You're mistaken. The bot is posting its ''own'' search results. It searches new pages and posts a list of those it finds. The username you see next to each page is the page's creator. This is confirmed by looking at the history of the page. That bot is not publishing users' search results. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 17:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
+God has given a promise
-== translation of page view ==
+And I know it is true
+All things are working together
-Regarding ''Where the information pertains to page views generated by a spider or bot and its dissemination is necessary to illustrate or resolve technical issues'' in the section 'Access to and release of personally identifiable information'. I have looked at the definition of [[W:en:Page view|page view]] on Wikipedia. But I am still not sure that I understand what 'page views generated by a spider or bot' are. Can anyone explain this in layman's terms? [[User:Lloffiwr|Lloffiwr]] 11:16, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
+For the good of those who believe. Do you?
-:[[w:Internet bot|Bots]] and [[w:Web crawler|spiders]], in this context, are computer programs set up to automatically visit webpages, without anyone actually sitting behind the screen. For example, search engines like Google have spiders that run around the web, reading webpage after webpage, to create an index of the web that you can search. Email spammers use bots too, to search the web for email addresses.
+(Repeat chorus)
-:"Page views generated by a spider or bot", then, would occur whenever a bot visited a webpage. Wikimedia's software would detect the bot's visit as a page view, just like the page views of actual humans.
-:One reason I can think of why they would have this line is so administrators, checkusers, and other volunteer editors can take action against bots that are set up to add commercial links (linkspam) into articles. There are probably other reasons as well, or they may just be putting that out for unforeseen contingencies.
+God has given a promise
+I will trust in the Lord!
-:If you're really curious, though, you might try to track down [[User:UninvitedCompany]], who [http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Privacy_policy&diff=next&oldid=23698 originally added the text] back in 2003. -[[User:Kotra|Kotra]] 03:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

+Whether good or bad. In my heart, I’m sure ...
-::Thank you for the clear and detailed explanation - I now have a much better idea of how to translate this sentence. [[User:Lloffiwr|Lloffiwr]] 12:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
-==Scope of the policy - certain aspects of browsing==
+(Repeat chorus)
-Regarding ''Interactions with the Projects not covered by this Policy include, but are not limited to, '''aspects of browsing''' and editing pages'' in the section ''Activities on Foundation projects''.
-The paragraph is mostly dealing with some ways that the user can '''voluntarily''' disclose her own private data. When the user is sending email or creating OTRS ticket, it is obvious that by the very nature of those communications some private data will be disclosed. It is clear, that anonymous editing is one of the the '''aspects of editing pages''', since the IP address becomes public by the very nature of that interaction and becomes ''publicly available data'' and therefore not covered by this policy, although they may be covered by some other policies (like that one of the OTRS).
-However, I do not to understand the which '''aspects of browsing''' may constitute ''publicly available information'' not covered by this policy. The policy deals extensively with Web server access logs as well as with privacy implications of certain HTTP features like cookies.
-So, the question is, which '''aspects of browsing''' the Wikimedia sites are not covered by this privacy policy? I understand that this is just list of examples ("...not limited to...") but my understanding to date that all aspects of passive browsing were covered under this policy.
