[edit] Wikinews vs. Wikipedia

I would like to bring up an issue regarding the "In the News" section on the Wikipedia Main Page. I recently posted a similar notice on the Talk Page of the Main Page, however no action has yet been taken regarding it nor has anyone responded. This caused me to decide that posting it there was inappropriate.

It is for this reason that I find no other place than my talk page to place this request that the "In the News" page be removed from the Main Page, or else that it remain only as a link to Wikipedia's sister project, Wikinews. It is not the purpose of an encyclopedia to serve as a news source, nor is it the purpose of a news source to serve as an encyclopedia. For example, you do not open up your encyclopedia volume to see what just happened in the news, nor do you open up the newspaper in search of general knowledge or information.

If there is another place wherein it would be more appropriate to place this request, please feel free to tell me about it.
