Indeed. The WMF takes legal advice when it feels the need to take
advice, as I understand it; when an active legal issue arises where
we're doing something particularly wrong, Things Get Done With
Emphasis, Underlined, In Parentheses And Quotated.

(or something like that)

Recall, for example, the missing-articles-in-Britannica list deletions...
