I just noticed that the user with IP 86.93.250.232 has been blocked from editing this article while clearly this seems more reliable info than what the page currently says about wikileaks. While checking his/her user-talk page, I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org?pojem=User_talk:86.93.250.232#Reliable_Source I urge you to reconsider your actions regarding this subject. It seems rather suspicious to me, seen in the light of the recent news and accusations towards Assange. 77.248.110.61 (talk) 12:27, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Definitely interesting. Birgitta states here: https://eta.securesslhost.net/~pgpboar/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=52&sid=d46e46b7326adcfb827c239d0cba86db "i do not know who wikileaks insiders are but feel they should step forward and show some transparency themselves...". I'm not so sure she's a spokesperson for wikileaks. She just worked with mister Assange on creating the new Icelandic press-freedom laws and regulations. I also checked and found that this version: http://en.wikipedia.org?pojem=Birgitta_J%C3%B3nsd%C3%B3ttir&oldid=371545258 says she *acted* as a spokesperson, this has somehow been changed to "she is a spokesperson of wikileaks" without any clear basis. Nobody at the time noticed the edit and so it became truth. Perhaps FoxNews started using this later on, I don't know, but "acting as a spokesperson for" certainly is something entirely different from "being a wikileaks spokesperson", a child can see that. I, too, vote for changing it back to what it was in the earlier version. 82.168.66.131 (talk) 12:03, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
