We’ve been busy watching our recent changes on Fan History. An incident recently came up and we had a fair amount of behind the scenes discussion on how to handle it. After exploring our possible actions, we analyzed where our desires to take these actions came from. They can best be summarized as follows:
1. Desire to thoroughly document a topic, be completely truthful, provide multiple perspectives and be as unbiased as possible.
2. Desire to behave ethically, enforce our policies in an ethical and consistent way, and to adhere to the norms of the community of which we are a member.
3. Desire to avoid drama, possible negative publicity for the wiki, and personal attacks aimed at our admin staff.
