A new website by Ira Stoll (anagram = Is a troll) seeks to out-Wikipedia Wikipedia in terms of (likely) BLP violations about journalists. Read all about it.

Actually, I gave it a whirl, and this is the note I got after trying to post a review of a journalist:

I see that Ira Stoll's Wikipedia article is "neutral".

An anon noticed this biased info and attempted to remove it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=453391982

But some other anon reverted the first anon a few hours later:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=458396493

I wonder how long the article's introduction is going to remain non-neutral. Wikipedians shouldn't be inserting "guilty by association" attacks into the introduction.

I'm glad that there are people paying attention. Thank you.
