Here's Jimbo, doing his thing, helping out some of the "good guys" who are dissatisfied with their portrayal on Jimbo's big encyclopedia.

Now, tell me... does anyone remember if Jimbo might have some personal connection to Tony Blair? My memory might be slipping a bit, and I don't want to be accused of "stalking" poor Jimbo.

Jimmy Wales is, very much to his credit, attempting to defend his conception of how COI editing should be done — which is to say, through intermediaries. I think a more workable approach would be for him to have said: "Go ahead and edit your page if you feel you can do it non-controversally and in accord with our principles of Verifiability and Neutral Point of View — but be advised that in so doing you are walking a tightrope with no net in front of a large audience with a taste for gore."

As Mr. Kohs is well aware, the COI editing issue is very "hot" right now. Mr. Wales is trying to show that his model for handling this situation works.

As for connections between Wales and Blair, the smirking centrist-hating red in me suggests that it probably has something to do with both those individuals sharing an affinity for the political ideas of Ayn Rand.

Mmm... close, but no cigar. Hint: it's more of a "family" thing.
