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.
Or we could set up a wiki which allows original research, and which can be referenced from Wikipedia.
This won't work, because the attribution FAQ says that Wikis are not legitimate sources. I tried to change it to allow wikis when self-published sources are allowed. It didn't get in.
I've setup a group on Yahoo to discuss Wikipedia problems. I'm in CA, and it's got a moderator in PA. We'd be open to more moderators.
We've both had problems with Wikipedia's policies.
