Talk:Author of Wikipedia character assassination takes responsibility

From Wikinews, the free news source you can write!

This article needs some background information, specific background information, for users to follow it. I'm lost on the whole issue here, and would rather not have to resort to another source to read up on the event. Please include the requests above into future edits on this article. --MrMiscellanious (talk) (contribs) 21:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I Read in the UK Guardian that as a consequence Wikipedia was to require contiributors to register. A comment seems appropriate. PJTraill 00:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

this story is laughable but intresting to see how the media is portraying wikipedia. more information would have been handy in this article but i dont have the time --Whywhywhy 01:24, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] You guys are missing the point

The whole point of the issue is that wikipedia is not a reliable source of information. Asking wikipedia to expand on this story is pretty ironic. Get a real news source.
