    Pois &eacute;, &eacute; exatamente esse o ponto atual da discuss&atilde;o: criar uma
    forma de legitimar as entrevistas a ponto de que elas sejam
    consideradas fontes fi&aacute;veis. E um dos pontos (n&atilde;o o &uacute;nico) &eacute; saber
    se as grava&ccedil;&otilde;es s&atilde;o verdadeiras. Em uma sugest&atilde;o meio brainstorming,
    sugeri a partir das pol&iacute;ticas atuais (ou seja, sem ter que criar ou
    modificar nenhuma pol&iacute;tica atual) o uso do Wikinews para as
    entrevistas, usando a pol&iacute;tica da reportagem original. Conte&uacute;do
    original &eacute; atualmente proibido na Wikipedia, mas n&atilde;o no Wikinews.
    Seguiria aquela linha do trabalho que voc&ecirc; vem fazendo aqui no
    Planalto. Al&eacute;m disso, podia-se utilizar o conceito de proofreading,
    como fazemos no Wikisource, em que um outro editor confere se a
    transcri&ccedil;&atilde;o corresponde &agrave; grava&ccedil;&atilde;o original, carregada l&aacute; no
    Commons. Se isso n&atilde;o for o bastante, tem a pol&iacute;tica de
    credenciamento, pela qual somente editores j&aacute; experientes, com
    not&iacute;cias publicadas e avaliadas pela comunidade, poderiam ter esse
    car&aacute;ter de reportagem original como fonte fi&aacute;vel. O Achal, que &eacute; um
    pesquisador experiente, foi contratado para fazer as tais
    entrevistas, e esse papel seria feito pelo tal rep&oacute;rter credenciado.

    Est&atilde;o achando que eu estou querendo dar "enganar" a
    [[:w:pt:WP:NPI|Nada de pesquisa in&eacute;dita]], mas francamente estava
    apenas pensando de maneira geral, sem me restringir &agrave; Wikipedia. O
    problema &eacute; suportar conte&uacute;do n&atilde;o publicado, e enciclop&eacute;dia n&atilde;o &eacute; o
    que vem &agrave; minha cabe&ccedil;a para essa finalidade. Tive a oportunidade de
    ver o v&iacute;deo, de assistir &agrave; apresenta&ccedil;&atilde;o do Achal e trocar umas
    ideias com ele. E mantenho minha opini&atilde;o. Acho que o mais apropriado
    &eacute; publicar o &aacute;udio no Commons, com a transcri&ccedil;&atilde;o no Wikinews, adotar
    todas as provid&ecirc;ncias necess&aacute;rias para tornar a entrevista fi&aacute;vel e
    ent&atilde;o us&aacute;-la como fonte para a Wikipedia. Se a Folha faz a mesma
    entrevista e publica (vejam s&oacute;: sem alterar o conte&uacute;do, trazendo
    apenas a transcri&ccedil;&atilde;o da entrevista - fonte prim&aacute;ria), n&oacute;s aceitamos
    como fonte. Por que com o Wikinews n&atilde;o pode? E tamb&eacute;m n&atilde;o defendo
    que todo o conte&uacute;do do Wikinews sirva, mas apenas aquele que cumprir
    todas as exig&ecirc;ncias atuais (WP:FF, WP:V), que pode ser identificado
    por uma categoria (transclu&iacute;da de predef ou n&atilde;o), do tipo
    "Reportagens fi&aacute;veis" ou algo que o valha.<br>

    Bem, opini&otilde;es s&atilde;o bem vindas, e inclusive podem ser lan&ccedil;adas
