Something I stumbled across today:

So, it'll stay in - sure. However, someone in the US may well have to
ask for legal assistance (EFF, ACLU?) in - via the Foundation - telling
an out-of-touch man in a white, powdered wig and dress to, "eff
orf!".

I heard an except from an  interview with Jimbo on BBC London radio this
afternoon; paraphrasing, his attitude was because the name has been named in
reliable US sources, US editors will ensure it stays in enwiki.

The Daily Fail better hope that twitter collapses the Super Injunction
nonsense. We're working on multiple media breaches, including one or two
by them, that've spend a brief time online before being bunged in the
memory hole.

Obviously, there's a need for Wikinews to await feedback from the AG on
this stuff - not go setting up twitter accounts that might get hit with
a Norwich Pharmacal Order. ;-)
