Jimmy Wales:
5. This one is perhaps the hardest to write in an NPOV
manner: Erik is
not the dictator of Wikinews, and furthermore, everyone can acknowledge
that he has said so himself, repeatedly. We can all further
acknowledge, even Erik, that he acts boldly and with conviction at times
and that this has at times irritated people who felt (fairly or
unfairly) that he was trying to be a dictator.
You are speaking in the plural. I see no evidence that anyone besides
Amgine has a problem with my general behavior on the site. If anyone
does, please do post, publicly or privately. I have hardly edited at all
in recent months. The heated conflicts of the last few days involved
several people. I was *not* involved. I have never been in an edit war
on Wikinews - except for one with Amgine over an NPOV tag. I am
generally very careful to avoid the impression that I am somehow trying
to push anything through. Please, do review my edit history:
