I thought it might not be out of our mandate to put this little image ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Illpublish.png ) on the front page. Maybe even at Wikisource! (Im sure somebody here is an admin there. Ive only got my meta priveleges left now - snif!). The image is a little white box that says "Ill publish the Al Jazeera memo." It may or may not be linked to the Blairwatch.org site.
Anyway, though it might, like, be cheezy to stand up for freedom of information (and stuff) though. Plus, that might violate Wikisource's NOR policy.
Stevertigo Confused: Is it still called 'Valspeak' when a guy uses it?
The front page of wikipedia should not be used for campianing whatever the cause. We don't have a big notice on the front page when china banned as I fail to see a reason to put up a notice now.
Best thing is to make it a featured article, it will get on the front page fast.
But I am in the UK so not like used to freedom or stuff so what do I know.
Stevertigo, the UK press normally ignore official secrets act "gagging". There is a public interest defence. Sometimes someone goes to prison its true.
