Your girlfriend/wife, boyfriend/husband or employer might find

this data without going through Special:Log.
Easily done an mighty
disturbing.
I don't really get why they would be disturbed to learn that you
delete images as part of your administrator duties. If they're going
to be disturbed that you are an administrator period, or you have an
account on a wiki, well those pieces of information are already
available aside from this one page.
Wiki actions are public; that is a very basic thing that if you
can't
accept, you should probably never have hit "edit" in the first
place.
let alone joined a publicly archived mailing list from an email
account that has your real name on it.
Exactly how much someone wants to show of his private life publicly is
everybodys personal problem. And what you are saying is: "if you
already wear bathing trunks you might as well go naked". No I prefer
not to. And I never agreed that statistics of my activities are
published. And what I agree on is my problem.

I know that this exists but sorting data and making it transperent
is
what disturbs me.
Is not transparency in admin actions a good thing?
Yes, but only to a point where it is usefull. Knownig that I deleted x
images does not help you understand what I have deleted. I approve
that you can see that I deleted an image but not how many. period!
BTW see last
post.
I saw it, but considering I can't read German, it didn't do much for
me.
See in Wikipedia there is one relevant english article and the other
two are only in german but those laws apply:
en: [[Informational self-determination]] de:
[[Bundesdatenschutzgesetz]] de: [[Teledienstedatenschutzgesetz]]
should be the relevant german laws.
greetings
Paddy
