Yes, probably... or perhaps a link to the comments section
of the guidelines...?

Also will the current guidlines on comments need updating?

  # Comments: Everybody can add their own comments at the
    end of each article.  Comments are subject to the
    guidelines for hiding.  They can be used to:

    * State an opinion about any given posting.
    * Add information.
    * Correct inaccurate or malicious information.
    * Rectify misinformation.

    Corrections and rectifications can be given prominent
    status by contacting the IMC UK features list with the
    qualified accurate information.

Do you want to suggest some wording to put to imc-process?
