Robert R- PM me the link to the person's article which has a paedo accusation if you really want it removed, and (assuming it isn't sourced (IMG:
smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) ), I'll remove it.
Seeing as it's been up for weeks, and Robert must be familiar with how a wiki works, I think it's a kind of experiment. Actually, I was happy that it's not easily google-able from Robert's description (doesn't use the term "champion pedophile.") I'm curious about how shitty Wikipedia is myself in this enlightened post-Seigenthaler era.
As for your reasonable delay point: it is true that people could add defamatory information, say, in the comments to blogs. However, Wikipedia is unique for giving the whole world a chalkboard that shows up on the top of almost every google search. Requiring that editors look at the damn thing is a modest suggestion.
