So far  as I am aware the guy's name was placed in the
public domain without his  request, and this has been repeated by a
bunch of publications. He also  received a large award in an out of
court settlement, and could possibly  have a case against the wikipedia
if they chose to *perpetuate* it (the  wikipedia may not *ever* go
away, but other publications tend to  fade).>>

This  is not correct.
Once the genie is out-of-the-bottle there is no law under which you can  
"sue" to silence it.
"Naming" someone is not harassment, it is reporting.  If you think it  is, 
name one case, any case at all, where this theory has been successful in a  
finalized court proceeding.  In the US.
