It's The Register, ignore it. It looks like we caught they guy and blocked him several months ago, so it's a bit of a non-story, really.
A rather irregular RFC an arbcom case and far to much of WP:AN suggests otherwise. More like a past story as it is now over but it took far too long to get there.
The flattering picture of media power in the hands of WP (we didn't run Byrne's line on short selling, so it was ignored by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times?) deserves a short response. As in: "Come on!" We're the unique reliable source, now?

No but we are one people read. With tightening budgets Journalists are having less and less time for background research and fact checking. So when they move outside their core fields of competence there appears to be an increasing tendency to turn to wikipedia.
