I've just come across a link to Wikipedia Review in an AN/I archive. It was inserted by a member of ArbCom in the announcement of an action of theirs to give the justification.
They probably realized, as we do, that the notorious Everyking thread on WR didn't contain any forms of harassment, and reached the (not unreasonable) conclusion that there is sometimes a good reason to link to an "attack site".
Either that or none of these considerations even came to mind as the committee announced its unprecedentedly urgent decision (and of course nobody saw any ethical dilemma in poring through the discussion threads of said attack site to collect specific information, whether or not they considered the remainder of it to be morally filthy-dirty).
