John Derbyshire on his Wikipedia article, "The Internet’s Free Encyclopedia Hates Me." Options

[Mystery]

I've long lurked here, but never posted before. Anyway, I came across this today and thought it made an amusing read.

That’s Wikipedia for you. They can say what they like about you, employing any level of sub-literacy for the purpose, and there isn’t a darn thing you can do about it. I had heard this, but just hadn’t believed they are really so brazen.

Thanks its excellent. And welcome to WR.

Nice find, thanks for posting it! That's the kind of embarrassing article that gets
AN/I to sit up and notice (and condemn).....

Derbyshire could really fuck with the WMF over this.

(It's a mystery why more conservative pundits don't go on rampages against WP.
They have all the time in the world to blather about Obama's birth certificate, or
the "genius" of Joe The Plumber.....but there's a big fat target, with a very politically
liberal tendency and plenty of corruption and incompetence, publishing bios of them
that are often very hostile. Yet they don't say a word publicly.)

Well, I learned something here. I never heard of AAMs before.
