The Newspapers receiving the leaks
Not a single word about the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten and the other english language newspapers who recieved the bulk of the leaks recently and have been publishing them ever since??? Nunamiut (talk) 22:16, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
- Anyone can edit Wikipedia. So, what do YOU plan to add to the article about it? HiLo48 (talk) 22:23, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Wikileaks
Wikilleaks is a US government mouthpiece.--91.115.59.43 (talk) 04:01, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- Source please? AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:03, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- If anything it sounds like they purposely only release information that makes the US look bad. Either that or the choices of items to list in this article has that purpose. Either way someone has an anti-US bias, since you wouldn't have to look very hard to find vastly more cases of worse behavior from the enemy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 03:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- We don't have enemies here - apart from each other. ;-) AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:28, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Nobel prize nomination
Whoever added the paragraph of "nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize" supported:
- Incorrect reference, it redirects to ft.com homepage
- Stated that "WikiLeaks is not expected to win", just why on earth? Is he some kind of a fortune teller? Very biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoorayforturtles (talk • contribs) 14:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Five new books about Wikileaks link
So I found this link [1] talking about the 5 books available (or soon to be available?) in regards to Wikileaks. I guess they would be good additions to the further reading section (as one already is there) and if someone actually had copies of the book, they can be used to add further references to the article. I know some of them have posted excerpts of the books, in particular Greg Mitch. Thoughts/comments welcome.Calaka (talk) 18:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

wikileaks-wiki
MattisManzel (talk) 20:12, 9 February 2011 (UTC):
I started a center-wiki for web-sites about wikileaks and its friends and supporters: the wikileaks-wiki. Link to it in the external links of the article if you please.
- I take it you noticed that I already removed it. Considering you run the site, it should almost certainly not be linked as you have a potential conflict of interest in adding the link. SmartSE (talk) 21:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
HBGary, WikiLeaks counter attack
So Anonymous and Wikileaks were targeted by a security agency called HBGary-Federal. Here's an article about it. Might fit in the criticism/responses section, or in the upcoming links section. If not here, than maybe at Cablegate.
- a proposal titled “The WikiLeaks Threat” and an email chain between three data intelligence firms. The proposal was quickly developed by Palantir Technologies, HBGary Federal, and Berico Technologies, after a request from Hunton and Williams, a law firm that currently counts Bank of America as a client...The law firm had a meeting with Bank of America on December 3. To prepare, the firm emailed Palantir and the others asking for “…five to six slides on Wikileaks - who they are, how they operate and how this group may help this bank.”
This is a .pdf of the counter-WikiLeaks proposal:
Here's another article about Bank of America's response to the Announcement that they might be targeted in a future leak:
