Essjay controversy has been nominated for Featured Article, articles which are supposed to represent the best of Wikipedia. Featured Articles may appear on Wikipedia's Main Page. Is this navel gazing? Or is it important for Wikipedia to air its own dirty laundry on its front page?

WJBscribe voted "no" because he was one of Jordan's advocates. WJBscribe was pro-fraud. It speaks volumes of Wikipedia, not to mention WJBscribe, that he is still there, ruling on articles.
