Wikipedia notes The wikilawyers are out in force these days.

* The Biographies of Living Persons issue, big since the Seigenthaler thing, has got some folks thinknig we shoudl automatically delete
any biography if the person requests. Except for maybe world leaders or something. This would satisfy some spectrum of privacy and dignity concerns but make the place considerably less useful.
* MySpace links
to band pages are getting removed as linkspam, and some folks think we should have a policy of only including MySpace if it's linked to from the artist's website or mentioned in a news source. It's amazing how quickly this has happened but it's very often the most up-to-date site a band has. This is an offshoot of the Verifiability problem related to Biographies of Living Persons. A little paranoid, if you ask me.
* Wikipedia is no longer a fun place to find stuff like
Chuck Cunningham syndrome (on the cusp of deletion). Stuff like that is getting nuked as Original Research. I see the point but again, less fun.
* Somebody copied
my work without attribution, so I got to send a violation letter for the first time. (I probably could have a couple other times, but this was a particularly egregious use my personal editing that they slapped their own copyright notice on.)
