[WikiEN-l] When should Wikinews be a reliable source on Wikipedia?

[Cool Hand Luke]

A particular dispute over a Wikinews reporter citing quotes from his own
interview has turned into a generalized debate about when Wikinews should be
an acceptable source.  See this RS/N
thread.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Wikinews:_Please_post_definite_answer>

Jimbo has suggested that Wikinews create a best practices document.
BP-compliant articles would be verifiable and thus should be available to
Wikipedia editors as a reliable source.  See this Wikinews water cooler
thread<http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/miscellaneous#I_want_to_help.3B_how_you_can_help_me_help>
.

I think that this is a great solution, which would answer the continual
objections that Wikinews faces on our project.  However, more editors should
weigh in.
