[edit] Computer-related redaction

Note that the sanitization entry already contains much of this information. Rick Smith 21:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources, please?

I haven't been able to find any source defining 'redaction' so narrowly as it is here. The definitions I can find say that 'to redact' means 'to edit' or 'to prepare for publication'. This would include merging two or more primary sources, as is described in the article, but it wouldn't exclude other edits. A source would be helpful. In addition, a few sources to support the existence of, or examples of, redactions that have been made to make the material fit the editor's opinion would be helpful. -- Super Aardvark 19:40, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] redaction

legal sense

in the legal sense [USA], documents are treated by redaction by blocking out or obliterating from visibility - as with a black marker, the text of items or parts that should be kept out of evidence in a case. Such documents are said to be "redacted" in preparation for submission into evidence in the case.

[edit] Still a stub?

Is it really still just a stub? It looks a lot better than most stubs!
