Oh, for crying out loud. The author is complaining about libel that
existed in a Wikipedia article about her. It lasted for 3 days before it
was noted by a "friend" of hers and she reverted it herself.

Actually, some of the vandalism was older than that, FOURTEEN days:

The author had a legitimate complaint. Wikipedia contained libel against
herself which was missed entirely by Wikipedia editors and processes.
Let's not attack the author or the paper for once again pointing out one
of Wikipedia's core problems.

fifteen of today's DM is an article by [[Petronella Wyatt]] - she
created the article herself back in December. Basically a moan piece
on the back of Alan Johnson's remarks. Larry Sanger is now called
'Jerry' and Wikipedia has 'employees'. Seems she spoke to or attempted
to speak to Jimmy about vandalism on her article, threatening to sue.
You know you've made it big in the UK when you get a hit piece in that
odious little rag.
