[WikiEN-l] Policy on putting email addresses on wiki pages

Hello All,

We've been mulling dumping all the Northern Ireland Assembly member's
email addresses onto the relevent page on wikipedia, and then writing
a scraper script to keep our own WriteToThem systems up to date.

This raises a policy question:

Is it permissable to put email addresses on wikipedia, if they're
already public?

We've noticed that they're *not* featured for most MPs.

many thanks,

Tom
