There is no way a human being that has a healthy mental state would think that a Wikipedia page should be where FBI reports should be submitted. The warning message is redundant and should be removed. Rc2barrington (talk) 04:20, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the number of such reports that had to be suppressed from the history (as they gave away personal information), the warning is absolutely justified. We're seeing less now, but before the warning, these were very much a common occurrence. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:30, 21 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Misusing websites is not a clinical symptom. A panicked 50 year old is capable of anything. EnjoyLightEnjoyTruth (talk) 20:38, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
