If that is all they were claiming, then that would be fine. But the claim is
that they have Wikinews press credentials. That is a very big difference.
I've seen no evidence that the system could get
out of hand, indeed it is
very conservatively used and applicants are quite rigorously grilled. If
someone did start to offend, the same page could be used to make it clear
that their activities did not meet with the approval of the community/board.
Again I dont have a problem with the system. Im concerned that it looks
official when it is not.
