[WikiEN-l] Another Media and Wikipedia blackout on NYT reporter in Afghanistan

[wjhonson at aol.com]

I don't think the point is "needing to reach" but rather it's "slapping 
the hand that reaches".
Which is a little more pro-active, and less passive sounding.
Is our position to be that, with a reliable source, we need multiple 
sources "in these cases" as Fred puts it.  And I really don't know what 
that implies.  Perhaps the NYT can stop being double-faced and come 
clean on their exact argument for blackouts.

Was this even a blackout?  Or was it merely the case that there were 
not enough sources reporting it yet?

Yes, we simply need not reach. At least not in such instances.
