Which in turn says some inaccurate things about Wikipedia, but also happens
to capture a BLP problem:
Lanier's complaints when his Wikipedia page claimed that he was a
film director couldn't be taken seriously by Wikipedia's
"contributors"
until Lanier persuaded the editors at Edge to print his article
bemoaning the claim. This Edge article by Lanier was enough to convince
the Wikipedians that the Wikipedia article about Lanier was
incorrect--after all, there was a clickable link! Presumably the editors
at Edge did their fact checking, so the wikiworld could now be corrected.
As fate would have it, Lanier was subsequently criticized for engaging
in the wikisin of editing his own wikientry. The same criticism was
leveled against me when I corrected a number of obvious errors in my
own Wikipedia entry.
The article itself doesn't consider this a big problem, but if this is
anything like true, we should.
