OK -- I realize after poking around a bit more that ONLY the bottom part of that page is about Annan. The original article is:
http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/cover020706.htm
In any case, it still looks bonkers, and the only people who seem to be really "spreading it around" the internet look even more bonkers.

Also -- perhaps the best way to deal with this is to add some information to the Judi McLeod page that links to and notes that she seems to think that Wikipedia is run by a Jewish mafia and is part of some major Jewish conspiracy (and considers Wikipedians to be "Jewish volunteers"). Personally I think information like that will make most rational people think twice about ever taking her seriously as a journalist, if they ever did.

==Libel against Wikipedia and Jimbo==
Hi, an article defaming Wikipedia is spreading across the internet. [http://thailandesl.chazzsongs.net/internet.wiki.htm You can read it at the bottom of this link.] The article's author, [[Judi McLeod]] implies that Wikipedia is connected to and takes its orders from [[Kofi Annan]]. She also claims that Wikipedia removed information from the [[Kofi Annan]] page at Kofi Annan's request. According to her, the article had claimed Annan's father was a freemason.
Wiki contributors went through all 542 revisions of the [[Kofi Annan]] article and found no mention of freemasonry whatsoever. There is an ongoing discussion about this at [[talk:Kofi Annan]]
Senior sys-op and Wiki news reporter [[user:Zanimum|Zanimum]] wrote her two letters asking for proof but she refuses to respond. She also refuses to correct the errors or withdraw the [[Canada Free Press]] article.
Can anybody advise us on the next step to take? Ignoring them isn't an option since they have written several error-ridden articles about Wikipedia. No doubt there will be more.
This is very frustrating and upsetting. We have gone out of our way to address her concerns but she gives us no credit. Both [[user:Homeontherange|Homeontherange]] and I have made sure that unproven assertions and inflammatory statements are quickly taken out of the article whenever they appear. I myself made it a priority recently to include positive details such as the journalism award McLeod won in 1983. And yet she calls us "wicked pedia". --[[User:Cyberboomer|Cyberboomer]] 21:34, 18 March 2006 (UTC) Guy (JzG) -- http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JzG
