This article has some interesting value, because it mostly makes sense... but it's far too late to effectively lay this sort of groundwork.

By the by, King is building up a little portfolio of published content related to Wikipedia and marketing.

And now he's going to be in the signpost:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=454199593

And why does he call articles "wikis" on his user page and elsewhere? It would have exposed him even if he'd not given himself up. Wikipedia is well-guarded with shibboleths.

Another bit of his writing included:
