Hii All,<br><br>I read the letter by author Philip Roth about *Reliable Sources* on Wikipedia and his unrest about the article on his book<i> &#39;The Human Stain&#39; </i>a while ago and just saw this discussion initiated here. <br>
Here&#39;s the Open letter written by Roth : <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/09/an-open-letter-to-wikipedia.html?mobify=0">http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2012/09/an-open-letter-to-wikipedia.html?mobify=0</a><br>

<p>Was anyone approached to give the other side of the story? The article lacks any explanation of our policy on reliable sources. It sounds like our policy was followed correctly - the author&#39;s statement was accepted as reliable only one it was published - but the BBC don&#39;t seem to have asked what the policy is.</p>
