***AN EXTREMELY OBVIOUS POSTING***
The problem with Wikipedia and BLPs is, simply stated, that no one person stands up and is legally, morally or ethically responsible for the historicity, the tone, the content, the spelling, in short the integrity of the biography before the Law.
So whether WP finally becomes part of a profit-making enterprise or is hosted by Franciscan monks who have taken a lifelong vow of poverty, the problem with BLPs remains until somebody somewhere becomes responsible for the biographies of living persons working with the subjects themselves as well as with legal counsel and can prevent vandalism being added to the biography BEFORE the biography is published, indexed and scraped on the Internet.
Anything else is deckchair rearranging on the Titanic.
