Keep your eyes peeled for a staff blog post explaining the background in greater detail on Monday. In the meantime, to respond to your specific question the decision of which wikis qualify for the category was definitely not arbitrary. While I can't share our exact guidelines, we followed a fairly exhaustive review process. I know that many of you have wikis dedicated to subjects that appeal to a wide age range, and we are striving to be fair but realistic in our assessments. We do believe in the ideal of open editing wherever possible, and we took care to only focus on what we have to in order to comply with federal law. I realize this is controversial, and I do apppreciate everyone's point of view.

Can't share the guidelines? Why in the world not? I'm extremely interested in knowing what criteria you're using to define which wikis get this block, and which don't.
