[WikiEN-l] The new verifiability policy

[Steve Summit]

Those interested in verifiability, and in particular whether
"insufficiently verified" information can be rightfully removed,
might be interested in a controversy bubbling over at the
[[Jeffrey Vernon Merkey]] page.  That page contains information
critical of Merkey which was derived from the [[Linux Kernel
Mailing List]], and one editor ([[User:Waya sahoni]], who has
been accused of being a Merkey sockpuppet) is trying to delete
the material on the grounds that mailing lists aren't
authoritative sources.  (In an imaginative twist, he's also
claimed that the LKML-related material belongs not on the Merkey
page but on the mailing list page, and tried to move it there.)
