But it will only make things worse, though. Brandt is neither
particularly well-connected nor particularly unique in his talents,
such as they are; and I have little doubt that secondary copies of the
Hivemind pages exist. What you're proposing is open season on
blackmailing Wikipedia -- whether to obtain deletion or (even worse!)
actual changes to articles -- by anyone who can threaten to put up
admins' personal information.
