Editing Language versus liability

The [[wikis]] need different policies for [[undelete page]]s, at least, and coming up with one policy to deal with that for all of them is probably impossible since they have different [[liability]].  So it is liability that is going to define which wikis and how many exist.

Since geographical area is one of the factors in liability (what is against the law to say where) but also influences other factors (like [[wireless network]] coverage we can use) it is difficult to disentangle.

There are few problems with '''language versus liability''', the choices are fairly obvious:
*[[liability]] is presumably the same in every language but the likelihood of being subjected to scrutiny or complaint is different - disparaging comments about [[Monsanto]] in [[English]] in the [[US]] are going to be more noticed than the same comments in [[Arabic]] in the same country
*each language needs its own [[sysop power structure]] at least in [[Publish Wiki]] to deal with [[vocabulary]] - it doesn't matter so much except near the point where a [[Consumerium buying signal]] is about to be released
*liability varies per [[faction]] - an offended faction that has [[funded troll]]s is more likely to be able to launch a [[libel suit]] if the [[trolls]] and [[troll vandalism]] don't succesfully hide the information;  one that has no money and no lawyers in different countries can't do that;  according it is [[transnational corporation]]s that are most dangerous to offend, and this creates [[systemic bias]] in editorial function.

[[Consumerium Governance Organization]] has to balance these choices.
