| − | ; July 1st, 2013 / COPPA Compliance on the American Girl Wiki and the Disabling of Anon Editing |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Kitsidebar.jpg|thumb|215px|Even Kit couldn't edit here until she turned 13.]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Recent updates to US Federal law regarding COPPA (the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)--have caused a major effect on the American Girl Wiki and editing policies. Feel free to read more about it [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog%3ASemanticdrifter%2FUpdates_to_COPPA here] on Wikia. But, to sum it up, websites can no longer gather IP addresses from people under thirteen as this is considered personal information. Wikia, in order to comply with this law--since it is a US hosted site--has disabled anonymous editing on wikis hosted at their site that might have targeted audiences under thirteen. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : This means that, as of July 1st, all anonymous editing on the American Girl Wiki has been disabled. While American Girl has many adult fans (this admin is in her early 30s), we must accept that the target audience by American Girl itself is eight to twelve year old girls. Thus, we are affected by this new federal law, and Wikia's option to comply with it. Underaged users will still be able to read the content of the wiki, so they can still access the articles and other pages that we as a community have worked so hard on. But they will no longer be able to actively edit or comment. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : Rules will be updated to reflect this, as we can no longer have any anonymous edits at all. If you want to edit on the Wiki, '''you must have an account.''' No exceptions, even if you're well over thirteen. I cannot turn anonymous editing back on. You will still need to be over thirteen, so we will be scrutinizing every new sign up we have. If you are found to possibly be under thirteen, your account will be blocked until such an age as you would be thirteen. |
||
| − | |||
| − | : If you have questions or concerns, please contact me directly. While this will have a major effect on drive-by and quick edits, I believe that overall this will improve the editing quality here at the American Girl Wiki. |
