Wikinews suppressed Wikipedia pornography investigation

News Type: Event — Seeded on Sat May 17, 2008 2:05 PM EDT

Suppressed Wikinews investigative article about pornography on Wikipedia from the week of May 12, 2008. The article was deleted immediately prior to publication by the Wikimedia foundation head office (not by the author or the Wikinews volunteer editorial team). It is believed the article was deleted because it did not promote Wikimedia, although the excuse used to do so, by Wikimedia counsel Michael Godwin was that it might be defamatory.
