I followed / tradcked CCC in totally right from Joi Ito opening keynote. There appeared to be no mention of this in the various formums of berlin 22C3.

This is indeed gonna shake the wiki space in terms of privacy!!

I'm sure that hacker wouldn't want this. Anyway, why his parents simply didn't EDIT the article?

Krusher, I think if the majority of Wikipedians would believe that the full name should be mentioned, a single person's edit would be reverted over time. It appeared in more than just a single place, too, and at one time even in an article URL (the title of the English entry on Boris F.)... I don't think it's possible to easily remove that. So maybe the question here is... is it legally fine to mention Boris F. by his full name (which probably goes hand in hand with the question, "is he a public person?").

Can they sames hypthosis be rendred to MLK, lenin, Hitler ?? They were all public figures too ??

Wikis are for facts ?? Its the same concept of going to a death registary and requesting that last name not be filed, so if publically collected via a motion under freedom of information, the real personal data is not culled ?? Imho, the injuction is not warranted for a shut down of a site, for a specific indidual. What may or maynot have happend to boris is not the issue. The mea cupla syndrom cannot be addressed a narrow bandwidth on a space like a wiki. Natural collarbative /community methods are/will be impacted as a larger whole.

Yes, I do respect the families wishes- but I don't accept the court order!!

de.wikipedia.org is the standard way of entering the site anyway (which still works, of course).
