HN removed the hash after the link, pointing to the proper section. Here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#O...

Section name is "Office action: Removals on the article Caesar DePaço".

I tried, but it only allowed me to fix the title. Perhaps I was too slow.

I am not a fan of censorship or violation of privacy. But if someone were defamed on Wikipedia, how would they pursue claims? Against Wikipedia itself? Or a contributor? And if so how would they know who the contributor is?
