GSI et al
I am very familiar with the history of the Government Secure Intranet (you may have seen I dropped some corrections in). I am buried under work right now, but I will see if I can get some people more familiar with current developments to update the page where such information can be considered public (as you may imagine, quite a bit about GSI is not public information). There are a few new things worth a mention, but it's always important to wait until the politics have played out.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheros (talk • contribs) 13:38, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. I think the development of PSN merits a new and separate article given its broader remit. There's enough public domain information available to adequately reference it, but, as you imply, the challenge is finding the time. If we always waited for the politics to play out though, we could be waiting forever :) --KenBailey (talk) 07:46, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I've made a start on a Public Services Network article. Please feel free to improve it! --KenBailey (talk) 00:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I actually have to talk to some people about some of the changes, I'll ask them to provide some input. My apologies that I cannot help you with the two places you require citations for - the statements are based on fact, but the exact data cannot be made public as it's government information. Not only would disclosure thereof be illegal, it would also be very unethical, so the choice is between leaving it unattributed or removing it which would (IMHO) make it less interesting to read.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheros (talk • contribs) 15:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for persisting with this. All that is required is to cite verifiable sources for the statements, even if they are not available online. As it stands, no matter how interesting, the statements risk being removed as original research. If you don't believe those sources exist in the public domain, you may wish to consider removing the statements yourself if you can't get the information published (e.g. by FOIA request via http://www.whatdotheyknow.com). In the meantime, I'll see if I can find any myself. --KenBailey (talk) 07:13, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
