Relating to edits regarding violations of the BLP policy[edit]
Why is it that this page has been semi-protected and previous edits removed under BLP policy violation? There has been reporting on the allegations and Purdue itself have placed the professor on leave according to that source. ComputerLem (talk) 16:12, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because Wikipedia policy is that, apart from a few specific circumstances, we don't report allegations of criminality which have not been tested in court. On this occasion I believe (though I am open to correction) that the person in question has not even been charged, let alone tried. JBW (talk) 16:32, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JBW I see. Thank you for the explanation! ComputerLem (talk) 16:34, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
