Wikipedia:Leave it to the lawyers
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
If there is a lawsuit pending or anticipated against Wikipedia, its staff, or volunteers, please do not discuss the case with anybody except your own lawyer. Loose comments made in a public forum could be used against one of the parties, could have real life implications, and could complicate the dispute. Wikipedia is not a battleground, Wikipedia is not a discussion forum, and Wikipedia is not a court of law.
