[edit] Self-Reference

I removed the following, per Wikipedia policy to avoid self-reference. This seems like the sort of thing that belongs in Wikipedia name space. Skittle 20:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Public records in the scope of Wikipedia itself

This encyclopedia itself theoretically uses forms of public records in its own right, the user contributions ("contribs") log, article edit histories, and other logs. Although this publicizes pretty much every action that every user and administrator does on Wikipedia, most hold that it is necessary to catch vandalism, maintain order, and make sure that users behave, and is an inherent necessity in having an open-source, freely-editable encyclopedia.
