 Didn't they link 
 to the situation and its resolution? How would that not be a consensus?
 

I have no idea how linking creates a consensus.
So I can't really address this.

 I nominate Will as the person making press statements when someone does 
 write the how to make a H-Bomb article.

I would like to thank all the little people I stepped on, on my climb to 
the top.

 We should not publish up-to-date and accurate
 information on how to create great harm whether it is about A-bombs or
 reporters held captive by the Taliban, and we don't, 

Just to repeat by way of propaganda, there is no credible evidence that 
publishing details about reporters held captive by the Taliban would cause any 
harm at all, let alone great.

 That is what the Foundation does in such cases, they pass information on
 from outside sources that are knowledgeable about the situation.
 

Or, at we've seen, outside souces which create false information when it 
suits them, and are hypocritical when it doesn't.

 To a certain extent this
 conversation has been about, Common sense, what's common sense?, I don't
 want no stinking commons sense, I'll work to rule and, if harm results,
 tough!, Harm to Wikipedia?, Public relations? Piss on that!

Sorry  but no.  It's been about your common sense, isn't my common sense.

Miscasting it as fire bad isn't going to win any new converts.

  Let's suppose you have in your possession exact detailed plans for a
  small H-bomb. Would you think you could simply put it into Wikipedia?
 
 Only if we have reliable, well-researched, and peer-reviewed sources.

Scratch peer-review.  We don't require that on this sort of article.
I'm not even sure we have a policy on how-to manuals, do we?

Dude, you just posted 7 consecutive posts to the same thread. That's
at least 5 too many. Worse, none of them were longer than 3 lines.
Please refrain - why not collect your thoughts into one more
substantial post?

Thanks,
Steve (moderator)
