MakingLights is a famous blog, run by a famous person.
People on
that site's forum got into a flamewar of some sort with somebody.
Some very-not-nice things were said, and apparently some personal
information was posted. (Ostensibly the person's real name could be
found just by typing his username into google, but I haven't confirmed
that).
Unfortunately for MakingLights, the person who was flamed turned out
to be a Wikipedia administrator. He came to Wikipedia, declared
Making Lights an "attack site", and in less than two hours, he went to
23 different pages and deleted all the links to Making Lights and its
affiliated sites.
Hmmm, I was "Ron Ritzman" on Usenet. I'm "Ron Ritzman" here. and
I'm
"Ron Ritzman" in real life. I, like 99.9% of people posting to
newsgroups, have been flamed. Can I now declare "Google Groups" an
"Attack Site" and delete all references to it anywhere I find them in
WP?
