Way to keep with the notion that "Wikinews is a place for news about Wikimedia"

It's not. The article happened to be about a person with ties to the Wikimedia Foundation.

The article was well written. It answered all the appropriate questions of who, what, when and why without giving us their personal opinion. I honestly couldn't tell if the author was a Democrat or Republican, very refreshing. One was left to draw their own conclusion as to how they felt about Schwatz and had the rare opportunity of exercising their own brain. Janet Lawrence

The author is neither Democrat nor Republican; the author is in fact British. Thanks for the positive feedback!
