Proposal to merge

edit

Just a quickie comment for now: yes, it's clearly nonsensical and counter-productive to have three separate articles on what is fundamentally the same subject. I'm not even sure there is a counter-argument to be made. Cgingold 18:58, 13 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I don't have anything against merging political leak and news leak but internet leak refers to leaking intellectual property (music, software, etc.) and the other topics don't really have anything to do with that. Recury 04:03, 10 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree with not merging Internet leak, as it is quite different from the other two. Information vs. intellectual property - kollision (talk) 06:33, 29 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

New proposal to merge

edit

Internet leaks are news leaks that occur on the internet. We don't have an article for phone leak, letter leak, meeting-in-a-pub leak - we don't need a separate article for internet leak. Comments, anyone, before I merge them? --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 09:52, 24 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

They look like they're about different sorts of content being leaked, not just the medium by which the leak occurs (as mentioned above by Decoratrix). Also, this merge tag has been sitting here with no real action for over two years. I'm going to call this discussion 'inconclusive' and remove it now.

May incident

edit

See Talk:Andrew J. May. Several of us have searched and can find no evidence for this other than Clay's claim, apparently based on Lockwood's papers. Rees11 (talk) 19:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Maybe we should try to find a better example, one that's verifiable? Maybe the Pentagon Papers? Rees11 (talk) 20:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can someone please explain to me why the edition of this example of a news leak keeps getting reverted:

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by N1111z (talkcontribs) 10:40, 12 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

This should not be on this page. It was only added to defame the person in question. Comey's memos were embargoed by Comey until a which point they were released by his permission. A leak can't come from a person who creates the embargo it just gets "released". Also your source provides no information on considering the memo's release as a leak.
