The debate over who *should* be added or not is over. The bitcoinpresscenter.org is open and inclusive. If you think someone should be added, you can register and add them. No need to ask anyone's permission or pass any litmus test.
That applies to both sides of this silly debate over who is a good for the community and who is not.
The Internet does not need prior-restraint filters because it can do rating, ranking and filtering on output. Surely by 2013 this is obvious?

I also think that the following people should also be added to the press page:
Erik Voorhees
Yeah, let's add the person responsible for the most violent damage against Bitcoin done to date...Erik Voorhees
Wait, I'm confused. Didn't Erik use Bitcoin for transactions while some others filled the blockchain with bitdust spam in the form of bible verses?

Bitcoinpresscenter.org, the new design is ready and will go live in the next 24hrs. I would love to hear feedback. It looks like this:

Looks great man! I signed up and filled out the some of the bio stuff. What do I do now? I can't seem to get back to the bio and edit it. If I understand correctly, you will email me next after review. Then I can edit my info and post it as a pundit? ...
Thanks for this service.
It is published now.

way to go Andreas.
one thing; you should require the experts to list their pseudonyms here on BitTalk so we can recognize their posts thoughout this Forum.
for instance, i know nothing about George Burke or his thinking based on his formal name.

Great idea. I'm adding a bitcointalk ID and link, as well as reddit ID, as optional fields.
Thanks for the feedback!

The Wiki is crap. I went there when I first started and it is full of dead links and scam web site links. Some parts are better than others but I would not recommend to a newbie or reporter.
It's also heavily biased and plagued with edit warring by, among others, Puke-Jr.
For example: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Litecoin
Quote
Pump and Dump Scheme
According to some, one or more of the aforementioned reasons imply that Litecoin has no future potential, and therefore effectively functions as a "pump and dump" scheme, rewarding those who get in sooner at the expense of those who adopt it just before it finally fails (and are left with nothing).
According to some, one or more of the aforementioned reasons imply that Litecoin has no future potential, and therefore effectively functions as a "pump and dump" scheme, rewarding those who get in sooner at the expense of those who adopt it just before it finally fails (and are left with nothing).
So after a bold-faced subject heading, the article cites "According to some," classic weasel words completely inappropriate for a reference work, especially for a serious accusation.
Then, after accusing it of being a pump and dump scam, the article goes on:
Quote
It's important to note, generally these critics do not think that Litecoin/Blockchain currencies are pump and dump schemes "per se"; but rather that the existing network effect of Bitcoin, combined with the lack of meaningful differentiation between Litecoin and Bitcoin and Litecoin's adoption of a "designed to fail" proof-of-work algorithm; that Litecoin is bound to fail in the end. Bitcoin does not suffer from these "flaws" and therefore does not fall under the "pump and dump" scheme, according to this argument.
So it's not a pump and dump scheme, but we're going to call it that anyway in an article with a bold-faced subject heading "Pump and Dump Scheme."
"These critics," of course, are the authors of the very text where they're citing themselves as sources. Including Puke-Jr. Try to change it and they'll go to edit war on you.

bitcoinpresscenter.org is done, from an engine and content management perspective. I'm working on the visual layout and design (a CSS designer is working on it for me).
If you can look beyond the very simple and naked "look" , please visit bitcoinpresscenter.org and propose new press contacts directly. Anyone can propose a new contact and provide all the relevant details (which is a lot more information that the current press center).
Feedback is very welcome so that bitcoinpresscenter.org can be improved and launched...

The press center should probably include independently done bios. For example, see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-foundation-protecting-us-from-black-holes-197474

Are you referring to this wiki ?
You are aware that wiki's are community projects where everyone can contribute ? So in reality, 1 person actively editing it and making a best effort to keep it up to date is worth more than 1000 people complaining it is bad.

Can someone with wiki permissions create a page "Press contacts"?
Anyone can create pages on the wiki... just need to go through the antispam stuff.Someone else is already working on a bitcoinpresscenter.org or such, though, so probably a good idea to see how that works out first?

Let's drop the press page and link to a wiki page from the resources page. If the wiki page turns out not so well, we can unlink it. I'm sure they'll find interviewees anyway. We can see how the bitcoin press center site develops.
Press contacts wiki page should have a similar disclaimer text. The listed people should have at least one previous appearance in mainstream media. If edit wars occur, we can come up with more specific criteria.

If you require a threat/gun to be obedient, that is your problem.
Wow.... and this is the individual picking who gets to be on the "Press Center"... indeed, not even Hugo Chavez would be so explicit.
Please, sirius, just shut this damn Press Center down. It's impossible to have any other consensus with people like this one I'm quoting. It's better to just delete this page from bitcoin.org.

Best laugh I've had all week! Horrible analogy and an even worse article!
This guy is about as dangerous as a grandma running you down with her electric wheelchair...
This guy is about as dangerous as a grandma running you down with her electric wheelchair...
It is an incredibly stupid article. The flabbergasting hypocrisy of attacking this guy as some kind of menace is ridiculous. All he is doing is distributing information.
Who is dangerous is the gun manufacturers of the United States selling deadly weapons to anyone and everyone, even enemies of the United States, to both sides of civil wars, to genocidal warlords, etc. Or the National Rifle Association, which poses as a civil rights group but which is, in actuality, nothing more than an industry lobby.
Distributed Defense presents no such threat. They aren't seeking out and stoking wars in other countries to make a profit on them. What they empower is the individual, by making information available. The only thing this guy is dangerous to, other than a government regulatory scheme that was already broken before he came along, is corporate profits.
You can fully expect the gun industry to hate this guy as much as the government. After all, if the average Joe can provide for the means of his own defense, who needs them?
Are you making "a blatant, undisguised attempt to radically alter our system of government"? Because if you are... /sarc
