I'll add that it doesn't appear to actually be a story yet, just a submission made through Firehose. Regular /.ers have clearly spoken as to how they feel about it, as noted by the colorful tags placed on the submission and its poor rating. Meanwhile, the article itself is a misleading, erroneous opinion piece by a very clearly biased individual.
In other words, nothin' to see here.

Now has a Slashdot story:
http://slashdot.org/submission/1137140/Climategate-spreads-to-Wikipedia
Which links to two articles: http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=62e1c98e-01ed-4... http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/fpcomment/archive/2008/05/03/who-is...
At a minimum this sounds like conflict of interest, and worse if any of these accusations are true (although the article counts are probably misreporting, and I bet they include all articles he deleted and all banned users regardless of associations with climate change).
The user in question has been involved in a number of arbcom cases. If they were any problems I 'm sure arbcom would have addressed.
I would be more worried if our climate change articles were not upsetting the likes of the national post.
