 | This page in a nutshell: Publishing private correspondence is a breach of privacy. |
Private correspondence, such as private e-mails, instant messages, or chats in private IRC channels, should not be posted on Misplaced Pages without the consent of the original correspondent(s).
Where evidence based on private correspondence is required for an arbitration case, permission of the original correspondents should still be sought, but in certain circumstances it may be acceptable to forward the correspondence via email to the Arbitration Committee without that permission.
Users who post private correspondence, or who disclose personal information about a user (including email addresses and instant messaging nicknames), may be blocked from editing.
Notes
- Included as "private emails" are emails between Wikipedians (two or more users), postings to private mailing lists (official or unofficial), or any other common sense interpretation of "private". Non-private emails include messages to open mailing lists which are viewable by all — although in that case it is better to link to the public post rather than post it on Misplaced Pages.
- Included as "private internet relay chat" are private messages between two people, or channels with limited access (including #wikipedia-en-admins). Non-private chat includes channels that can be joined and posted in by anyone, or channels where invitations are freely available and/or are not tightly controlled.
