Dear Wikinews peoples,
I posted a notice at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/policy#Proposal_to_close_a...
There is a proposal on Meta to try to simultaneously close down ALL language Wikinews sites.
More at report in The Wikipedia Signpost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2013-03-25/News_an...
Discussion at Meta http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Proposals_for_closing_projects#Close_Wik...
Prior discussion from Meta just about English Wikinews, that failed: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects/Closure_of_Eng...
Please take a moment to read over the discussions and if you wish, participate!
Thank you for your time, Cirt

Didn't the proposer state that it't not yet a proposal? Surely it's not an official proposal as it doesn't follow process.

They have floated similar proposals. The thing was picked up by English Wikipedia Signpost (which does not concern itself with verifiability, newsworthiness or neutrality) presented it like it was an official proposal. It seems likely, given that we dealt with an English Wikinews closure proposal in late November, this was a test run for an actual proposal. Thus, making it clear this is not acceptable is a probably a good idea.
Sincerely, Laura Hale
Agreed.
