2009/12/1 Brian McNeil brian.mcneil@wikinewsie.org I've decided that now is a *very* appropriate time to, once again, try and restart discussion on Wikipedia paying more than lipservice to Wikinews as the appropriate venue for news coverage.

Nit: If I start bitching about top-posting, please check I've taken my meds ;-)
Unfortunately, [[WP:NOTNEWS]] is a link to a sub-section of a very long and somewhat complex project policy page. I'm reluctant to link to that, and instead chose to state "Wikipedia is not a news site." as a blunt fact.
As you should see from another message, I originally BCC'd Jimmy Wales, and there was a very prompt response. I think I messed up passing the email through the list approval process - whitelisted the address, but discarded the message (Sorry Jimmy, won't happen again).
Mike Peel of WMUK has already posted a "yes!" on my enWP talk page. So, were else do we have Wikinews snuck into Wikipedia? I remember there's something about porting links from DPLs over to Portals; can someone comment on the techie aspects of this?
