---------------------
The statement was made that this is "common" not rare.
I do deny that "Wikipedia fails to act effectively enough against  libel"
 
Yes I deny that.
But I also deny that this situation is "common" as opposed to rare, or  
rather I'd like to see some hard evidence, not a lot of hand-waving and  hyperbole 
:)
 
Bearing in mind that this thread is not simply about vandalism or libel,  but 
*rather* it is about the situation originally presented, where some  
scandalous statement, which is also without foundation, is allowed to persist  for a 
significant length of time.  Remembering that scandalous statements  are only 
libel if they are without foundation and known to be without foundation  by the 
speaker.
