Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Flavio Briatore, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Armbrust 11:16, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Flavio Briatore
I have declined your request for indefinite semi-protection: we do not protect pages pre-emptively, only in response to actual vandalism, and semi-protection would not solve the present issue, which appears to be a content dispute. There is useful advice at Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living persons/Help, and I have made an entry at the relevant noticeboard, WP:BLPN#Flavio Briatore which will bring more experienced eyes to the article. Now that your changes have twice been reverted, please do not make them again, but discuss the issue on the article talk page or at the BLPN entry to try to reach WP:Consensus.
In view of your reference to lawyers and the Wikimedia Foundation, I have also made an entry on the administrators' noticeboard at WP:ANI#Legal notice, WMF involvement?. Please note our policy Misplaced Pages:No legal threats, though I accept that you perhaps did not intend to make one, and you have approached the Wikimedia Foundation as that policy advises.

Regarding legal notices
Hi Shadow003. I'm Dave, a volunteer here and one who is involved in our complaints systems here at Misplaced Pages. I understand you have contacted the foundation with a legal notice regarding our Misplaced Pages content of the Flavio Briatore article. Unfortunately, Misplaced Pages's content is driven by the Misplaced Pages community, not by the Foundation. However, the Misplaced Pages community strives to maintain accurate information on the encyclopedia. Any information should be sourced to ensure accuracy and it should be written from a neutral point of view.
If you would like some help correcting any inaccuracies, please do feel free to get in contact with us using these methods. Indeed, you can email info-en-q
wikimedia.org marking it for my attention (Dave Craven) and I will help you in any way I can. Regarding the legal notice, to remove any chilling effect on the encyclopedia, please can you confirm that you understand my note and the status of the legal action. If it is ongoing, we will be required to block you from editing[REDACTED] for the period of the action under our no legal threats policy. This would not be a punitive block, but rather one to ensure the matter is not exacerbated on-wiki. Worm(talk) 14:40, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
