Erik: "I do think we should let the German experiment unfold for a bit, but
I
also think people should be aware that it is happening, due to NPOV
concerns about the issue."
I have to strongly disagree with allowing this experiment to continue since
it is setting a precedent that the Wikimedia NPOV mandate is optional.
Editorializing non-collaborative POV content on a Wikimedia-hosted project's
main namespace seems to be in violation of the approved purpose of the
Wikinews project, which is to be unbiased in its content. Its
non-collaborative nature also is counter-wiki.
The project is Wikinews - not Wikiblog.
