I dropped the journalist who wrote this article:

a note commenting on a few errors and she corrected it to this version:

which is more accurate. To let people know :)
How is that more accurate? About half the article was cut out, including this important caveat: "Asked about the incident's impact on Wikipedia's credibility, Mr Wales told the paper: "It is not good, obviously, but the interesting thing is that Mr Jordan was an excellent editor, credentials or no. His work was extremely positive for Wikipedia."
Strange that an email from someone claiming to be an expert would cause a newspaper to change its article so drastically.
