[WikiEN-l] Another "BADSITES" controversy

[Daniel R. Tobias]

The latest skirmish in the never-ending civil war over linking to so-
called "attack sites" is the one where [[User:Will Beback]] has taken 
onto himself to purge Wikipedia of all links to the site of notable 
science fiction editor [[Teresa Nielsen Hayden]], even though they 
are used as reliable sources for quite a number of diverse things, 
because in her blog she attacked Beback (she seems to have some 
issues with Wikipedia in general).

This has in turn spurred a renewed edit-war over whether the anti-
attack-site section should even be in the WP:NPA page, and the page 
is now under protection again as a result.

See my essay for more on the issue:
