What I see are arguments against the banning of links to entire web
*sites* that happen to contain some such pages. I also haven't seen
any justification for such a ban.
And indeed we have no such ban. But Wikipedia Review contains
virtually nothing *but* such attacks, and incidentally is a forum so
any innocuous thread can rapidly be hijacked. Linking to WR is
inappropriate in every circumstance raised thus far.
Simple enough, really.
If Wikiabuse contained a thoughtful critique of a notable event in
Wikipedia's history, it might well be justifiable as a link, because
there is at least some effort to keep it sane and resist "outing".
But not WR. No thanks.
