Yeah, and it only took them six years to do it! Gosh, that's great!
And most of it was the work of SlimVirgin! Golly, what could go wrong!!

The current article is pretty much a whitewash, with only the slightest hint of all his crackpottery. It no longer even mentions that he claims to have gotten a phone call from either aliens or time travelers when he was a teenager.

Is that important for an encyclopedia, especially one that anyone can edit?

I suppose it is important for "the sum of human knowledge", but so also would be which of his grade school teachers most influenced him, and perhaps even his blood type.

I see that SlimVirgin is complaining about Stanistani, saying that he is only commenting on the article because of his involvement in an "off-Wiki site." This leads me to believe that she still lurks at the Wikipedia Review.

I find articles on Wikipedia to edit by any number of means. The Review is one of them. I'm sure either SlimVirgin looks here or one of her cohorts does. SlimVirgin and Will Beback and other editors take the random potshot at me. Since I don't edit war, or engage in name-calling, so far they have found no excuse to take me to one of the drama boards - yet.

I warn you re libel laws.
The above is libel.
I never claimed I was contacted by aliens.
I reported strange incidents with witnesses in which the entity on the phone said it was an alien et.
I never said I believed it.
This distinction is obviously too subtle for your IQ.
Slim Virgin is allegedly an alias for a team of CIA mi6 analysts.
Everything in her version is true and i approve it. angry.gif

I hope you're talking to Dan, Jack, and not me. I'm on your side!

Alleged by whom? The only allegation I'm aware of is that she was used by MI5 to disrupt Pierre Salinger's investigation of Lockerbie.
