The link really doesn't add anything to the discussion about Google. I think the information could be found in a source that is not spoiled in that way.

The purpose of the link in the article is to let the reader discover for 
himself how kooky Brandt is, and therefore how seriously to take his 
worries about Google's motives and behavior.

I respectfully suggest that the experience of spoil and spit is 
particular to your personal reactions to the mentions of  Brandt and the 
SV-as-spy conspiracy theory, and not what a general reader would take 
from it. As flaws go, however, that's one I respect; that an arbitrator 
has a pro-Wikipedia bias is not entirely a bad thing.
