Wifione commented on  this discussion. He redacted some comments there, a few hours later, with this edit on WP:No Original Research - he changed "trial" to "trial/litigation in any country" and "published by any involved party" to "published/authored by any involved party" and also changed Book Reviews from being considered a secondary source to being considered a primary source. Its interesting to note that the changes he made in policy relate somewhat to the discussion taking place on an article talk page where he was involved.

Also, the following statements:

"Please provide valid sources to support this statement. MSN is not a reliable source." - Wifione 06:26, 3 February 2012 (UTC) (this discussion)

The MSN article is actually an article by IANS (an independent News Agency), carried by MSN and others like Yahoo News.

A comment about the same Yahoo News article: ".. Yahoo link simply shows the opinion of Mr. Devi Singh from IIM Lucknow. That is a self-published statement which should not be used to make a definitive statement." - Wifione 19:02, 5 February 2012 (UTC) (Same discussion)

Im not commenting on the contents of the original email, the above definitely looks a bit out of order to me.
