Boing Boing ran another uhh
"story" about this and some lawyer getting into it pro bono or something and someone decided to create
Phil Sandifer (T-H-L-K-D)Hey, isn't this libel? Its total bullshit: "It looks like the original complaint came from people whom Sandifer had argued with over Wikipedia -- a message-board for disgruntled Wikipedians contains a discussion of Sandifer's story and the mischief that could be had by complaining the university about it, noting, "it wouldn't take much to put him in a position where he either decides to leave Wikipedia or decides that he doesn't need a Ph.D. after all."
Maybe, maybe one person made that quote; it certainly doesn't represent official message board policy -- its just an attempt to create sensationalist journalism, as if we plan to intimidate Snowie until he drops out of school and quits Wikipedia.
