John Moe (2011-05-02). "For bin Laden news, it's not Twitter's moment, it's Wikipedia's". American Public Media. Archived from the original on 2011-06-16. Retrieved 2011-05-03. I read the Wikipedia page about the attack and it was comprehensive. Wikipedia gets slammed sometimes for being unreliable and a place where any yahoo can alter reality to anything they like. The page about the attack is extensive, well sourced, and incredibly informative.... In high profile cases like this, these pages are being extensively edited and also extensively policed. Good stuff.
Thomas Rid (2011-05-02). "Death of Osama Bin Laden on Wikipedia". Department of War Studies, KCL. Archived from the original on 2011-07-23. Retrieved 2011-05-09. So the man's dead. Quite an event. As Europeans are waking up and catching up with the big news, one question is: who's got the best coverage? Believe it or not, but Wikipedia is one of the candidates. In less than five hours and in an impressive 400 edits, a dedicated team of self-appointed authors and editors has come up with a pretty good (and protected) article.
Wikipedia has a policy of not calling people or groups "terrorist". This is not an indication of condoning "terrorist" activities, but of neutrality, and avoidance of passing judgment, affirming or denying. Please debate the merit of this policy at WT:Words to avoid, not here.
