I apologize to everyone, had I read more closely, I would have understood that we are discussing this page:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge
I certainly agree that the "Larry's text" portion of the article needs to be moved and edited into encyclopedic form. It's an informal set of notes for a philosophy 101 lecture, not an encyclopedia article.
There isn't any particular "privileged" reason why it's there -- it's a historical artifact of very early development. It should be edited or (probably) moved.
The point has been raised that Larry's discussion of "knowledge" is centered around justified true belief, Gettier problems, and the like, rather than a more broad discussion which might encompass Eastern views and so on. It seems that this portion of text might be salvaged by formalization and by moving it to something like "Knowledge in Analytical Philosophy".
(Note: I don't recommend that title, exactly, because I'm not sure that 'analytical' is the right word. I'm not a professional philosopher!)
