Hoi,
Vetting before publication proved a failure. It is why we have Wikipedia
and not Nupedia.
Thanks,

English Wikinews took serious measures for reliability
back in 2009. For
our pains, we've received mostly grief from the Foundation, and from a
vocal segment of the Wikipedian community. If they consulted, before this
expertise-lending, with the sister project that specializes in
vetting-before-publishing (one of the defining characteristics of news),
I'm not aware of it. In fairness, Wikipedia might plausibly claim to have
some expertise in dealing with the consequences of /not/ vetting before
publication, and those consequences are legitimately of interest (but I
agree the passage abound lending expertise cries for explanation; there's
irony in talking about propaganda in a piece on the wikimedia blog, which
tbh I consider a Foundation propaganda outlet).

On a related note, the Foundation Blog
https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/04/07/misinfocon-fake-news/ proudly
announces that "the Wikimedia Foundation joined a handful of media
organization at the MIT Media Lab to lend their expertise at MisInfoCon".
That's certainly good to hear, but a little short on details In the
interests, of transparency, please could someone post a pointer to a
fuller
description of the expertise that the Foundation
has in this area (as
opposed to the community of volunteers), and a pointer to the
submissions,
papers or other contributions that those experts
made at the meeting?
