== Misrepresentations or disinformation not covered? ==
I have been dealing with a user who makes personal attacks, but also surely deliberate misrepresentations of my contributions. [[m:User talk:SHB2000#c-Chealer-20250810013100-Your conduct|I notified him]] of numerous failures to respect the CoC, yet I ended up failing to show clear violations of the CoC for both of these issues, which I consider the gravest.
In particular, I am surprised the Code does not explicitly prohibit misrepresentations of actions of colleagues, or at least―more generally―disinformation. Wikipedia does have [[w:Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines|a guideline]] against misrepresentation, but for Meta-Wiki behavior, I ended up with nothing stronger/clearer than the last paragraph, which merely invokes section 2 (expectation of collegiality).
Am I missing something, or does the CoC not declare misrepresentation nor disinformation in general as unacceptable? [[User:Chealer|Chealer]] ([[User talk:Chealer|talk]]) 02:06, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
== Deimmunization ==
One problem I've faced is when a user is warned against or prevented from pursuit of a remedy for offensive comments by someone in a position of power. Does this need to be included in a bullet point itself:
* '''Endorsing uncivility:''' Intentionally deterring or stopping another user from dealing with comments they could reasonably perceive as uncivil. We expect that users are able to respond reasonably to comments that they object to and that their concerns are validated if reasonable, particularly by people with community authority because unaddressed uncivil comments may harm the health of the community.
Or is this already implied by the existing points?
Consider these declined and U4C-misinterpreted cases:
* [[m:Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2026/Systemic failure to provide UCoC protection by ENWP admins|Systemic failure to provide UCoC protection by ENWP admins]]
* [[m:Universal Code of Conduct/Coordinating Committee/Cases/2025/中文维基文库管理员Midleading对红渡厨的封禁争议 第二次|中文维基文库管理员Midleading对红渡厨的封禁争议 第二次]]
** I believe that this case's filer has left Wikimedia because of the dispute :(

== Sockpuppetry ==
I have a question. Where in the Universal Code of Conduct is [[en:WP:SOCK|sockpuppetry]] forbidden? I see sections forbidding harassment and content vandalism. Sockpuppetry isn't either harassment or vandalism, although sockpuppets are often used to harass or vandalize. Have I missed something, or is there another code, or is sockpuppetry only forbidden in all of the local projects?

The '''Removal of Non-Consensual Intimate Imagery Policy''' is a set of guidelines and [[<tvar name="1">Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Wikimedia Foundation Office Actions Policy/Procedures</tvar>|procedures]] regarding changes to or removals of content on the Wikimedia projects, or actions against specific individuals, performed by Foundation staff members upon receipt of one or multiple valid complaints from the volunteer community or the public, and/or as required by law.
This policy supports existing policies around user conduct, such as the [[<tvar name="2">Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct</tvar>|Universal Code of Conduct]], the [[<tvar name="3">:m:Special:MyLanguage/WMF Global Ban Policy</tvar>|Wikimedia Foundation Global Ban Policy]], and the [[<tvar name="4">Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Office actions</tvar>|Office Actions Policy]]. It serves to formalize existing "unwritten" policies and similar gray areas between these policies. All office actions are performed pursuant to the [[<tvar name="5">Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms of Use</tvar>|Terms of Use]].
This policy is focused on the removal of intimate images captured or uploaded without consent of the subject(s), or for which consent has been revoked by the subject(s). This policy will include original and fabricated images created and uploaded on Wikimedia projects.
Questions about changes or current practice may be addressed at the talk page or emailed to '''<tvar name="6">{{Nospam|ca|wikimedia.org}}</tvar>'''.
==Defining Non Consensual Intimate Images ("NCII")==
The definition of non-consensual intimate imagery ("NCII") across industry best practices is broad and covers a wide range of subjects and acts. Generally, NCII refers to any content that depicts sexually explicit activities shared without consent of the individuals involved (The Foundation uses the [<tvar name="7">https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2256</tvar> U.S. law definition] for sexually explicit, and may use other country definitions if another law is determined to be applicable in a specific case based on the location of the requester). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, live streaming, and digital or computer generated images, including AI-generated content.
Material on the Wikimedia websites is intended for [[<tvar name="8">Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Terms_of_Use#3</tvar>|general informational purpose only]], which informs our definition of NCII. It includes all forms of text or media — depictions of real people, computer generated, or illustrated. Under this policy, you must not upload images without prior consent from all parties.
==Reporting violations==
If you come across intimate material that you are present in and is posted without your consent please report it to the Wikimedia Foundation immediately. This is a violation of our policy and you can send links to the materials (or other links that may help us locate the material) to '''<tvar name="9">{{Nospam|legal-reports|wikimedia.org}}</tvar>'''.
The legal-reports address is monitored by the Trust and Safety team in collaboration with the Foundation's Legal team. Material sent there will be evaluated and, if in violation of applicable policy, removed and reported as documented below.
If you believe yourself to be in immediate danger of threats of physical harm, contact your local law enforcement or contact '''[[<tvar name="10">:m:Special:MyLanguage/Threats of harm</tvar>|Wikimedia's emergency email address]]'''.
==Mitigating actions==
The Wikimedia Foundation, as hosts of the Wikimedia websites and in compliance with applicable law, will remove apparent NCII upon its discovery and report it to the appropriate regulatory body.
Accounts found to have uploaded such material will be immediately locked in accordance with the Office Actions Policy. Actions related to the upload of NCII are not appealable to the [[<tvar name="11">:m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation/Legal/Community Resilience and Sustainability/Trust and Safety/Case Review Committee</tvar>|Case Review Committee]] due to the nature of the violation.

==Defining Non Consensual Intimate Images ("NCII")==
The definition of non-consensual intimate imagery ("NCII") across industry best practices is broad and covers a wide range of subjects and acts. Generally, NCII refers to any content that depicts sexually explicit activities shared without consent of the individuals involved (The Foundation uses the [$7 U.S. law definition] for sexually explicit, and may use other country definitions if another law is determined to be applicable in a specific case based on the location of the requester). Visual depictions include photographs, videos, live streaming, and digital or computer generated images, including AI-generated content.
