Jens-
There's a lot on things that I found totally un-wikipedian about Erik's proposal,
"Many others"? Such as?
Mark/Delirium Fred KissAll Anthere Andrew Lih
I doubt all of these people agree with characterizing the proposal as "un- Wikipedian" (whatever that means, it's a rather silly phrase since Wikinews is obviously not meant to be a Wikipedia clone). But I'm willing to listen to any arguments, should you actually manage to produce some.
Regards,
Erik
