[Foundation-l] Interview transcription

[Brian McNeil]

This is great news, but it seriously conflicts with the impression I have
been given about what material can be used for updating Wikipedia. I got
about 40 minutes of the man's time, and I'd say a great deal of what he said
could go into his Wikipedia article. I consider a telephone interview
"Original Research", so is it just allowable because people can recognise
who I am speaking with? It does - to me - seem a little like bending the
rules. I expected Wikinews to have to do the article and items from that go
in WP.


Brian.

Yes, as long as we have both the interview and transcript, there is *no* way
it wouldn't be accepted.  The proper sourcing template would be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_interview for this case.
