If the New York Times had claimed the information is harmful, Jimbo would have deleted the information much earlier--no editor would have gotten a *chance* to spend a significant amount of time defending it. You don't get editors investing a lot of time if you make the deletion a fait accompli before a lot of time has passed. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
