So, lost in the press uproar over the Seigenthaler incident is the Adam Curry / podcasting incident.
A friend who knows about the podcasting community tells me that our article is currently not very good. I personally think that the problem is the age old problem which happens when partisans with a fight from somewhere else on the Internet spill over into Wikipedia to have their fight.
The solution is: get rid of the partisans, and focus the attention of good Wikipedians on the topic. Input from various factions is fine, but we also need to take a firm stand on not allowing any of them to hijack or subvert the article in an attempt to win points in their own external fight.
I have no policy recommendations, but I do hope this email will prompt several people to add these articles to your routine patrols.
