Notes

  1. 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 — however, in this case, it is often better to merely link to the public posting rather than replicate it on Misplaced Pages.
  2. Included as "private internet relay chat" are discussions in channels which are restricted in access in any way (often requiring an invite to access), or private messages between two people. Non-private chat includes channels which can be joined and posted in by all.
