And if one has sufficient attention, then it would benefit that person to try to play nice with Wiipedia. Ask for help with editting that article. Offer images under GFDL. Create some goodwill so that editors who spend a lot of time will help watch over the article.
Yes.
But of course I hope that we, being Wikipedians, will offer very warm goodwill to Daniel Brandt, despite the fact that his primary contribution to the article has been to attempt to suppress perfectly valid links to sources which are critical of him.
The article should be neutral, clear, high-quality, and on many many people's watchlists, and whenever Brandt interacts with any of us, he should be treated with the utmost courtesy, kindness, and respect, no matter how he chooses to behave himself.
This might be difficult, but we're Wikipedians. It's what we do.
