Why not, but a link is not enough. It should be written like :
By editing, you agree with the [[privacy policy]].

Why should such huge message be on every page? I don't see any such message
here on gmail (or on any other server I am able to think of), just a link to
Privacy Policy. Or, the other way around, if the message is necessary, it
would have to be included on _every_ page, not just on edit pages, wouldn't
it?
I think a link to privacy policy in the page footer should be enough (IANAL,
of course), the warning about publicly displaying the IP address of
anonymous contributors is IMHO a bit different case, not a fulfillment of a
legal requirement, just a politeness to the contributors.
