On the other hand he can get on with writing his Ph.D. dissertation, from which wikipedia can only have been a distraction. The rigid format of the wikipedia articles on poems that he has been helping to produce can hardly have been useful for that purpose. By the nature of wikipedia, it was plagiaristic - there was no room for originality. I hope for his sake that he has not been as petty, stubborn and disrespectful with his thesis advisor as he has been with editors on wikipedia. The normal rule in RL is that graduate students are forgiven such misdemeanours if they reform. Either that or they change supervisor and sometimes university.
