Wikinews to interview XenuTV, anti-Scientology website founder Mark Bunker
by Jason Safoutin 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

/Wikinews <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikinews>/ is interviewing television producer and owner of the anti-Scientology website XenuTV.com <http://www.xenutv.com/>, Mark Bunker <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Bunker>. Problem is, we don't have any questions and we want /*you*/ to ask them. At the moment there is /no/ deadline to ask questions. The hopeful plan is to conduct the interview on IRC. Hopefully this can be Wikinews' first Interview Of The Month <http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Interview_of_the_month>, in well a very long time. More details on how and when the interview will take place will be released as details are known. Click here to add your questions. <http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Story_preparation/Wikinews_interviews_…> Also, is anyone in or near San Diego California, USA? Tahts where Mr. Bunker lives and has agreed to a video interview...we just need 1) A camera 2) reporters(s) 3) Someone to get there. *Video is not required or a definite* and Bunker knows this. As of now, its an idea, but the IRC interview is a definite. Jason Safoutin (DragonFire1024)

Proposal for Embargoed Wiki
by Paul Williams 30 Jan '08

30 Jan '08

Just mailing this out to a wider audience so we can get some good discussion going. Please see [1] where I have written a proposal for an Embargoed Wiki - "[to] be used for discussion, development, and collaboration on stories that are not yet ready for the public eye, such as investigations, planned stories that have sensitive (non-public or embargoed) documents, or embargoed documents such as future-dated press releases or other news stories." It is clarified further on the page. I urge you to pitch in with your vote (Support OR Oppose, I'm not trying to direct you here) and make comments on [2]. Thanks! ~ Paul Williams ~ skenmy [1] http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Proposal_for_Embargoed_wiki [2] http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews_talk:Proposal_for_Embargoed_wiki
