I wouldn't be surprised if it went on their front page. It is not an example of airing one's dirty laundry; it is an example of applying lipstick to a pig. The "Essjay controversy" article is a prime example of Wikipedia's lack of respect for the truth. It brushes aside the most salient fact: Jimmy Wales knew that Jordan was a fraud and hired him anyway, and kept him in his senior position at Wikipedia anyway. This central issue is dealt with only tangentially and incompletely in the article, which is revealingly labeled as being about a "controversy" rather being about the "fraud" it that it was.
Yes, Wikipedia, put your fraudulent article on the fraudulent front page of your fraudulent encyclopedia. You are frauds who deserve to be known as frauds. Your article is Exhibit A. You fool no one.
