They are the same and that is why I strongly opposed that wiki. 

My comment four months ago:

"I am against a private OR Wiki for the following reasons
  1. .Wikinews should be open to the public not closed to the public.
  2. .Collaboration should be encouraged
  3. . We are a news source, we should want other news sites to copy news, even pre-publication.
  4. . We want the news to be easily copied by others. --User:Anonymous101 Talk 12:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)"

Isn't this going completely against the idea of a wiki? Should we really stop people from seeing the development process for the majority of our users. To me this just seems like a way to allow us to censor articles without anyone noticing.

I am concerned that Wikimedia is going to start censoring all our articles. This sort of thing, along with Wikinews:WMF Reports is what is going to stop us being unbiased.

Thanks,

The problem is that often we can be under an embargo or "media blackout" until a certain date - especially with sensitive stories. This seriously hampers our ability to develop these stories on-wiki with as much collaboration as possible.
