The policy on sources, WP:ATT, allows self-published sources to be used in biographies of living persons. This means we can use the subject's personal website or blog, so if someone wants to address an issue in their Wikipedia article, they only have to publish it themselves on their blog first, which anyone can set up at no cost.
Setting up a blog can be quite a hassle, especially for a non-techie, even if he doesn't have to pay to get it. Basically, "if you want this fixed, set up a blog" is a big hoop you're making people jump through in order to fix something that they probably didn't even want in the first place.
We could always set up the blog for them. Or we could set up a wiki which allows original research, and which can be referenced from Wikipedia.
