Yep, but this was before "forking" WikiNews or at the very

leave the news to WikiNews, only remerging into Wikipedia once
importance is clearer and deeper analysis is available from

Wikinews was never considered a fork. It's a different beast altogether:
- Original reporting vs. WP:NOR
- Deadline oriented vs. no deadline in Wikipedia
- Snapshot of situation vs. constantly evolving story
There's no reason at all why one should eliminate the other.
