I've just come across a link to Wikipedia Review

It was inserted by a member of ArbCom in the announcement of an action

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).
