Should Wikinews consider DigitalJournal.com a reliable source? Open for thoughts. --SVTCobra 00:21, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * They seem to have some pretty stringent quality control, from what I can tell by reading their Wikipedia article and their website. I think we could probably safely accept it as a reliable source. Tempodivalse [talk]  00:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Would you say their reliability is better or worse than Wikinews? Are their controls better or worse? Wikinews is not generally considered a reliable source. --SVTCobra 00:39, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * From what I understand by reading their WP article, they screen potential contributors first, before allowing them to write articles, so I suppose in that regard their quality control could be considered better than ours. Tempodivalse [talk]  00:47, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The page could be modified to the next lowest count of 308,000 listed by AP on May 11 Brazil boosts flood aid for 308K left homeless

Image
The image of the states highlighted which were affected by the flood is under question in commons which is curious as a public domain image was used, so a discussion has been started there. I will probably change the image to File:Brazil pol94.jpg depending on that curious conversation. It had been similar to the highlighted maps of provinces/countries affected by Swine flu. Will re-make it.SriMesh | talk  02:17, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
