Wikipedia v ANI: Why the online encyclopaedia has landed in legal trouble in India

Jump

  • the court ordered Wikipedia to disclose who made these allegedly defamatory edits to the ANI page

    ... Isn't the edit history public, though? They should be able to determine the IPs/users who are responsible for the edits.

    I don't know how the Indian legal system works, but then if necessary you would try to compel Wikipedia to turn over contact information for those users, as with a subpoena in US law.

    ...

    ...

    After looking over the article, Wikipedia has turned over user info to that effect. ANI is mad because they weren't allowed to edit their own page, essentially, which is disallowed on Wikipedia in general because of bias.

    The hearing began in July after ANI petitioned the court, saying it had tried to change the allegedly defamatory material on Wikipedia but its edits were not accepted.

    The ANI page was put under “extended confirmed protection” - a Wikipedia feature used to stop vandalism or abuse - where only users who have already done a certain number of edits can make changes to a page.
