That's another form of "you can't fix your article unless you jump through
these ridiculous hoops". Finding someone in an all-volunteer Wikipedia
willing to set up a blog for a random complainer is at least as difficult
as setting up the blog himself.
Well, I certainly disagree. Finding one person out of the thousands
of volunteers who are capable of doing this seems much easier than
teaching a random complainer how to do it himself.
Even if this is true, isn't a line on a Wikipedia talk page saying "so-
and-so told Wikipedia that... and it was verified to come from him by ..."
basically a one line blog hosted by Wikipedia anyway? (At least if we link
to the diff, which nobody can edit.)

For that matter, what's the difference between this, and putting some lines
on a Wikipedia talk page, saying "this type of talk page is to be treated
as a wiki which allows OR and can be referenced from Wikipedia"?
