so other than having us subjected to this spam, what other recourse do we have?
I called and asked nicely. I think they are going to knock it off.
In the meantime, the page is really in need of a major major cleanup.
It is highly POV in the sense that
oss.net (the organization which put
out the press release) is made the centerpiece of an article which is on
a topic which, as far as I know, is a legitimate one.
But,
oss.net is legitimate, Robert David Steele is legitimate, and this
is all just a misunderstanding of how to properly get people involved in
Wikipedia.
