This is great news, but it seriously conflicts with the impression I have
been given about what material can be used for updating Wikipedia. I got
about 40 minutes of the man's time, and I'd say a great deal of what he said
could go into his Wikipedia article. I consider a telephone interview
"Original Research", so is it just allowable because people can recognise
who I am speaking with? It does - to me - seem a little like bending the
rules. I expected Wikinews to have to do the article and items from that go
in WP.

Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Interview transcription
Yes, as long as we have both the interview and transcript, there is *no* way
it wouldn't be accepted. The proper sourcing template would be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_interview for this case.

As it's not a research but an interview, I don't see any problem. In
fact it's even better as for once the original interview and the
transcript will be free and so we will be able to check easily the
sources.

We have - uploaded to Commons - an interview with former member of
parliament and political activist Tony Benn.

I have already pestered my Wikinews colleagues for help transcribing
this as
a first step into turning it into a story, any
help in the transcription
would be appreciated. I'd also welcome opinions on how this material can
be
used as a source for Wikipedia which has a
"No Original Research"
policy.
