If we did do anything regarding these press coverages, I think our actions were very successful. The reports described Wikipedia's working mechanism with great factual accuracy, which isn't every day. On Apr 28, 2011 11:39 PM, "Fae" faenwp@gmail.com wrote:
This story has run in several newspapers today (Thursday) and shows that Wikipedia has processes that can protect articles (which most of the public would be unaware of) and that prompt action is taken when verifiability or legal issues are outstanding.
