the arrest of gerry adams isn't front page news according to wikipedia if you want to know why read the wikipedia in the news candidates page there you will find all sorts of uninformed illogical and downright dishonest claims about the uk legal system and the way the british press works you will also see the quite idiotic claim that by ignoring this news wikipedia is somehow defending adam's from defamation something apparently the rest of the world's media and indeed wikipedia's own article on adams isn't apparently all that concerned about if like me you think this is contemptible and want to challenge it then you will just have complain to your congressman i guess because it has become clear to me today at wikipedia talk in the news that the people at wikipedia who make those sort of arguments will absolutely positively not answer any questions at all about it and others will apparently defend their rights to do so by closing down such discussions apparently it's 'disruptive' to question the logic that goes into faulty wikipedia decision making like this as always if you want to know what's going on the world consult the other 'old media' outlets who for all their faults still make it their job to report on the news in a serious and credible manner only come to wikipedia if you want to know about video games and other stuff nobody really gives a crap about
