I just wanted to bring up a point wrt "but cannot ban the Guardian for "bad journalism"" below, there are already efforts underway on the Gamergate talk page by a single-purpose account to do just that.  The argument is that since this Guardian article is so "wrong" (and it really isn't, just in minor details), therefore the Guardian should be stripped as a source in the Gamergate article.

These are the types of antics that the 2nd wave of 8chan/redditors are going to be pulling, once some of us have been swept away.

Subject: Re: [Gendergap] press coverage of Gamergate arbcom case

well, they did not revdel it.

arbcom can drive the  discussion off wiki,

but cannot ban the Guardian for "bad journalism"

certain account behaviors are being favored

you should expect to see a lot more of those behaviors in the future

this will necessitate a lot of wiki-splaining

thank-you arbcom for firing up every up coming feminist editathon

you may not care how how you are perceived,
but the negative blowback will tarnish all of wikimedia

The rediculous thing is that none of the people defending that article were 'feminists'. They were just defending the mainstream point of view from an endless onslaught of 8channers. The feminist point view isn't even represented in the article.
