Just to be clear, are you saying that the page needs
to be rewritten
to avoid the word "vanity"? Seems like a good idea, it is a fairly
insulting term.
To avoid it except mentioning that libelling people by implication is
probably a bad idea.
Remember: that NYT article was just an amused look into the wacky
world of Wikipedia. We're very mainstream now. (How on earth did that
happen?!)
