Wikipedia:Editors willing to make difficult edits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Wikipedia:BRAVEHEART)

This page has been created to support editors who could risk being harassed or threatened, on-site, off-site, or in real life because of editorial actions they wish to take on Wikipedia. The real-life harassment is usually possible because editors have given out personal information about themselves, perhaps incrementally and inadvertently, without realizing that an unfriendly person would be able to synthesize the information, or because they felt they had no reason to preserve their anonymity when they first joined Wikipedia.

The list below consists either of editors who are certain there is no information on Wikipedia that leads to their real-life IDs, or else who are willing to deal with the consequences that difficult edits can lead to. Editors on the list should feel free to remove their names at any point without giving a reason.

Editors who are on this list and who like userboxes might like to add {{User difficultedits}} to their user page. This adds the following userbox:

This user can, and will, make difficult edits if needed.
