Oh, for crying out loud. The author is complaining about libel that existed in a Wikipedia article about her. It lasted for 3 days before it was noted by a "friend" of hers and she reverted it herself.

Actually, some of the vandalism was older than that, FOURTEEN days:

The author had a legitimate complaint. Wikipedia contained libel against herself which was missed entirely by Wikipedia editors and processes.
Let's not attack the author or the paper for once again pointing out one of Wikipedia's core problems.

Someone pointed this out to me so I thought I'd share it. I can't find it online yet - it's more of a feature so maybe it won't be. Page fifteen of today's DM is an article by [[Petronella Wyatt]] - she created the article herself back in December. Basically a moan piece on the back of Alan Johnson's remarks. Larry Sanger is now called 'Jerry' and Wikipedia has 'employees'. Seems she spoke to or attempted to speak to Jimmy about vandalism on her article, threatening to sue.
You know you've made it big in the UK when you get a hit piece in that odious little rag.
