| This page in a nutshell: Wikipedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships in any form. Please report incidents tolegal-reports |
Wikipedia regards the safety of children using the site as a key issue. Wikipedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships. Editors who attempt to use Wikipedia to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate inappropriate adult–child relationships on- or off-wiki (e.g. by expressing the view that inappropriate relationships are not harmful to children), or who identify themselves aspedophiles, will beblocked andbanned indefinitely.
Reports of editors attempting to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, or otherwise breaching trust and safety, should be made to theWikimedia Foundation by email:legal-reports
wikimedia.org. Reports of issues concerning images of children should be sent to the same email address.
Editors seemingly pushing agendas can be referred to any administrator in exactly the same way as any otherPOV-pushing allegation. Comments posted on Wikipedia suggesting that an editor may be a pedophile will besuppressed promptly, to avoid issues of privacy and possible libel. You should raise your concerns only byemail to the oversight team; questions or accusations directed against a particular editor in project space may result in a block for the editor who posted them.
If you feel that another person on Wikipedia is threatening your safety, or worries you in any way, please tell a responsible adult, and ask them to look at this page. Do not continue to communicate with the other person – ignore the person completely. Never give out your personal information such as your address or phone number to anyone, even if they say that they are trying to help you. When in doubt, don't share.
