page 26: "Plaintiff has informed [Wikimedia Foundation] that the statements about her are false and defamatory but [Wikimedia Foundation] has refused to remove the statements despite the fact that Brian Lamb the founder of [Wikimedia Foundation] has stated publicly that his website is accountable and that mistakes are removed in minutes".
Uh, right, "Brian Lamb the founder of [WF=Wikimedia Foundation]?" Jimmy, is this your new alias? Or has someone failed on his research here pretty badly?

I think that's probably the worst bit of false reporting about Wiki(m|p)edia I've ever seen - and I've seen some very bad reporting!

Actually, it's even worse than that. The amended complaint was filed 9 months after the article was deleted... Getting someone's name wrong is one thing, but the entire point being nonsense is quite another...

You are correct: Getting someone's name wrong is a mistake, the entire thing being nonsense is the American legal system.

Nope. There was also the référé in France last fall.
However, note that contrariwise to this case, we actually removed the alleged diffaming comments. The judge estimated that we reacted in a suitable fashion for a website provider and rejected the request for a financial compensation by the plaintiff.
