 | This page in a nutshell: Bharatpedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships in any form. Please report incidents to legal-reports bharatpedia.org. |
Bharatpedia regards the safety of children using the site as a key issue. Bharatpedia does not tolerate inappropriate adult–child relationships. Editors who attempt to use Bharatpedia to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, who advocate for inappropriate adult–child relationships on- or off-wiki (e.g. by expressing the view that inappropriate relationships are not harmful to children or expressing support for known pedophile advocacy groups), or who identify themselves as pedophiles, will be blocked and banned indefinitely.
Handling of reports[edit source]
Child endangerment, child protection and child sexual abuse material[edit source]
Reports of editors attempting to pursue or facilitate inappropriate adult–child relationships, or otherwise breaching child safety, should be emailed to legal-reportsbharatpedia.org. Reports of issues concerning images of children should be sent to the same address. In India, child sexual abuse material may also be reported to local police and to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Bharatpedia administrators who receive such a report must not publish the details on-wiki.
Apparent on-wiki advocacy[edit source]
Editors seemingly pushing agendas can be referred to any administrator in exactly the same way as any other POV-pushing allegation. Comments posted on Bharatpedia suggesting that an editor may be a pedophile will be suppressed promptly, to avoid issues of privacy and possible libel. You should raise your concerns only by email to the oversight team; questions or accusations directed against a particular editor in project space may result in a block for the editor who posted them.
Advice for young editors[edit source]
If you feel that another person on Bharatpedia is threatening your safety, or worries you in any way, please tell a responsible adult, and ask them to look at this page. Do not continue to communicate with the other person – ignore the person completely. Never give out your personal information such as your address or phone number to anyone, even if they say that they are trying to help you. When in doubt, don't share.
