Re: [Foundation-l] Wikinews has failed

But George we do have pointers from Wikipedia to Wikisource, Wikiquote, and so on. Wikinews is sort of the red-headed stepchild of the entire collective. It's been going for years and yet only has 15,000 English-language articles. That's probably smaller even than Citizendium. The failure is even more severe when a project is so small that it can be dominated by a clique of people pushing power-plays to silence opponents. That is simply in my mind anathema to our entire structure. When a club becomes an effective tool, used by those in power against those not, than a project should be shut down.
