Wikipedia is a moot point, and I don't think it's appropriate to break
the fifth wall in article space based on this distinction.
I have been avoiding suggesting it for fear of a WP:BEANS violation, but
it occurs to me that if a public figure wishes to have links to sites
critical of them removed from his or her Wikipedia article he or she
could simply start editing other Wikipedia articles in a generic,
ordinary, non-COI way. That would magically convert those sites into
"attack sites" since they're now critical of an active Wikipedia editor.
