Biographies of living people

Feedback?→

This resolution stating the Foundation's position regarding Biographies of Living Persons was passed in April 2009. It was amended in November 2013.

The Wikimedia Foundation takes this opportunity to reiterate some core principles related to our shared vision, mission, and values. One of these values which is common to all our projects is a commitment to maintaining a neutral point of view.

In our efforts to offer a source of knowledge that is valuable and useful to all, we have a responsibility to uphold these values by also providing accurate information. Participants in Wikimedia projects have created resources of vast size and scope. As we have emphasized for several years, in addition to the quantity of knowledge that is available, its quality is also an essential matter. The generally high quality of information in Wikimedia projects has been confirmed by a number of studies, but it is important that we always strive to improve. As with any endeavor that provides educational and informational material, errors need to be avoided, especially when they have the potential to cause harm. One area where this applies is when writing about living people.

Increasingly, Wikimedia articles are among the top search engine results for just about any query. That means that when a potential employer, a colleague, friend, neighbor or acquaintance looks for information about a person, they may find it at the Wikimedia sites. As the popularity of the Wikimedia projects grows, so does the editing community's responsibility to ensure articles about living people are neutrally-written, accurate and well-sourced.

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.

-Nei nostri sforzi di offrire una fonte di conoscenza che possa essere di valore e utile a tutti, abbiamo la responsabilità di sostenere questi valori anche fornendo informazioni accurate. I partecipanti ai progetti Wikimedia hanno creato un'ampia quantità di risorse. Come abbiamo sottolineato per molti anni, oltre alla quantità di conoscenza disponibile, anche la qualità è importante. La qualità generalmente alta delle informazioni dei progetti Wikimedia è stata confermata da parecchi studi, ma è importante sforzarsi sempre per migliorarla.

-I contenuti Wikimedia sono sempre più spesso fra i primi risultati dei motori di ricerca, qualsiasi sia l'oggetto della ricerca. Questo significa che quando un potenziale datore di lavoro, un collega, un amico, un vicino o un conoscente cerca informazioni su una persona, è possibile che la trovi su un sito Wikimedia. Di pari passo col crescere della popolarità dei progetti Wikimedia, cresce anche la responsabilità della comunità dei contributori nell'assicurare che le voci riguardanti contemporanei in vita siano scritte in maniera neutrale, accurate e corredate di fonti.
+As our popularity has grown, some issues have become more prominent:

-Al crescere della nostra popolarità, alcune questioni hanno acquistato rilievo:

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.

-* Molti creano voci dal tono esageratamente promozionale su se stessi o su persone che ammirano o che le hanno commissionate a pagamento. Queste voci non sono neutrali e non hanno spazio sui nostri progetti. Generalmente, la comunità wikimediana protegge bene i progetti da questo problema frequente, cancellando o migliorando le agiografie.
+The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees urges the global Wikimedia community to uphold and strengthen our commitment to high-quality, accurate information, by:
-* Qualcuno talvolta vandalizza le voci su contemporanei in vita. La comunità wikimediana ha sviluppato metodi e tecniche per combattere i vandalismi, che generalmente sembrano funzionare ragionevolmente bene.
+</div>
-* Alcune voci riguardanti contemporanei in vita contengono piccoli errori, sono scritte male o riportano poche fonti. Le voci su persone non molto conosciute sono spesso trascurate e vengono migliorate molto lentamente nel tempo oppure quasi per nulla.
-* Talvolta c'è chi fa modifiche tese a calunniare qualcuno. Queste modifiche sono difficili da individuare e contrastare, specialmente se chi scrive in malafede persevera.

-Il Consiglio direttivo della Wikimedia Foundation esorta tutta la comunità wikimediana a sostenere e rafforzare il nostro impegno a fornire informazioni accurate e di alta qualità:
+# 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;
-# garantendo che i progetti in tutte le lingue che descrivano contemporanei in vita abbiano linee guida funzionanti, che richiamino l'attenzione in special modo sui principi di neutralità e verificabilità in quelle voci;
+# Taking human dignity and respect for personal privacy into account when adding or removing information, especially in articles of ephemeral or marginal interest;
-# rispettando la dignità e la privacy dei soggetti quando si aggiungono o tolgono informazioni, specialmente nelle voci di interesse effimero o marginale;

-# ricercando nuovi meccanismi tecnici per valutare le modifiche, in particolar modo quando riguardano contemporanei in vita, e per aiutare i lettori a segnalare problemi;

-# trattando ogni persona che abbia rimostranze sulla propria descrizione sui nostri progetti con pazienza, gentilezza e rispetto, incoraggiando gli altri a fare lo stesso.
