Actually, I think that Wikinews with 10% of Wikipedia contributors
will become a huge nightmare. Of course, if we wouldn't be prepared
for that.

I may imagine large scale edit wars on Wikinews, large scale legal
problems backed by a large scale of state authorities and
multinational companies. Wikinews in the top ten websites would mean
that a person who has access to Internet doesn't read/listen/watch any
other media.
