Here's the facts:

On Dec. 1, 2005, Jimbo Wales told Editor & Publisher regarding Brandt,


"I don't regard him as a valid source about anything at all... I find it
hard to take him very seriously..."


Four days later Wales tells CNN,


"we are very, very responsive to complaints and concerns."


Wikipedia' s [[Seigenthaler controversy]] doesn't even mention the fact that
Essjay was given oversight, or that the derogatory, self-cited,
self-published material remained in Brandt's bio for a year & half, with the
Foundation's full knowledge.

Basically, this is insulting to people's intelligence.
