"O Julgador do Futuro"? Na Wikipédia não!

Bom dia, colega Wikipedista! Feliz Ano Novo!

Como você anteriormente participou de debate(s) sobre alteração(ões) na Política de Bloqueio, acredito que você é uma pessoa pertinente para avaliar a seguinte proposta de mais uma alteração, e por isso, venho convidá-lo(a) a participar.

A premissa por trás desta proposta é que as Discussões de Bloqueio devem passar a seguir a ciência do Direito no quesito ato jurídico perfeito, conceito este, por sinal, que, de tão importante e básico, consta na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos! Mas não consta na Wikipédia em parte alguma até hoje.

O texto proposto, destacado em amarelo lá, a ser incluído na Política de Bloqueio, visa evitar que "se movam as traves com a bola já rolando", vulgo pt:marmelada. Pode ser um termo forte este, mas veja bem se esse exemplo, criado para fins ilustrativos, que apontei por lá, não é algo totalmente passível de ser realizado na Wikipédia hoje, talvez até mesmo lhe soando familiar:

1. você fez X em 2015;
2. em 2015, X não era uma infração prevista na PB, portanto, nenhuma pena se aplicava;
3. em 2020, X é incluído na PB e passa a ser punível;
4. em 2023, você se torna desafeto de alguém;
5. esse alguém levanta provas de que você cometeu a infração X em 2015, e consegue banir você com base no novo ponto da PB, que, contudo, não existia/não era infração na época em que foi cometida.

A questão que esse cenário traz é: a punição sobre você teria sido justa?

É isso que os Direitos Humanos buscam evitar com "ser condenado por acções ou omissões que, no momento da sua prática, não constituíam acto delituoso": não era delito na época, passou a ser só depois, mas aplicaram a punição como se a lei valesse desde sempre, e não só a partir do momento do início da vigência. É o que estou tentando te falar sobre "pena retroativa": retroage antes da lei sequer existir! Isso não é razoável.

Se, após esta exposição, esta proposta despertar seu interesse, seja contra ou a favor do que estou propondo, por favor, não deixe de participar em: WP:BLOQUEIO - respeitar os Direitos Humanos.

. Mr. Sand. ❧ Ano ⓭ 12h07min de 25 de janeiro de 2023 (UTC)

The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata.

    • In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)
