A particular dispute over a Wikinews reporter citing quotes from his own interview has turned into a generalized debate about when Wikinews should be an acceptable source. See this RS/N thread.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Wikinews:_Please_post_definite_answer
Jimbo has suggested that Wikinews create a best practices document. BP-compliant articles would be verifiable and thus should be available to Wikipedia editors as a reliable source. See this Wikinews water cooler threadhttp://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/miscellaneous#I_want_to_help.3B_how_you_can_help_me_help .
I think that this is a great solution, which would answer the continual objections that Wikinews faces on our project. However, more editors should weigh in.
