Proposed Protocol for Collection Moderation

On English Wikipedia we hide lists that damages the fabric of our community or cause harm to a private individual.

What we hide: Reasons we do not hide:
 * private, personal information (such as social security numbers)
 * threats of violence, sexual exploitation, theft, vandalism, or other financial harm.
 * shaming, bullying or harassing private individuals
 * hate speech(?)
 * lists with "Wikipedia" in the title that suggest the list is the official position of the encyclopedia
 * statements that are false
 * opinions we disagree with
 * collections that are trivial or meaningless
 * collections that are humorous

We do not have notifications in place yet for administrative actions on collections! It is important that we inform the owner that an action has been taken. When you hide a collection, email or put on the owner's talk page the following message:

Hi,

I am an admin for Wikipedia and am helping to keep Wikipedia a positive, safe place for everyone. I hid your list from public viewing because it was ___

If you have any questions or concerns, please respond to this message within 72 hours.

If you unhide a collection, please email or put the following on the owner's talk page:

Hi,

I am an admin for Wikipedia and I unhid your list, because it does not currently violate our standards of conduct for collections. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by your list being hidden.
