Andrew, a newssource is not "reasonably good" when it sensationalizes minor stories and even prints patent falsehoods. I arrived at the conclusion that the Register is not a reliable source after not just this awful mess of an article, but several others on varied topics.
If that's going to be our criterion, then we might as well get rid of CNN, ABC, the BBC, _Liberation_, and dozens of other sources. All have a strong tendency to sensationalize minor stories and even print patent falsehoods, especially in certain areas.
It seems The Register is being singled out here because they printed an article about Wikipedia that we don't like, which seems silly.
