So? Elmer Gantry character is alive and well. Bogus credentials and the rest of it.
no issue here
Essjay seemed to edit about every article I ever looked at there, I think even the one on Freerepublic.
I understand a couple of anti-FReepers are editing the Wikipedia entry on Free Republic.
When the history of the world is written, let's hope the wikkipederasts are all out of ink!
This guy could have a future career for him at CBS!
BUMP!
There are probably fewer factual errors at Wikipedia than the BBC or the New York Times.
I'm careful when I use it, but usually their articles are very good.

Controversial aspects
Ivor Tossell of the Canadian Globe and Mail called Free Republic "the worst site on the Internet, political-rhetoric division" and "an exercise in political extremism that, despite being something of an anthropological train wreck, keeps popping up square in the mainstream."[16]
Too damn true...
"I'm careful when I use it, but usually their articles are very good."
I've found too many errors.
I can agree with that, except for real contorversial political things. For those I look for two sources.
I wills ay this trying to find which party voted for which gun control measure is very very difficult, the GCA of 1968 happened in a vacuum as as I know...
"I hope others will refocus the energy they have spent the past few days in defending and denouncing me to make something here at Wikipedia better," he said.
"Too soon" buddy. Forgiveness comes after the public flogging..... and the lawsuits that will probably happen.
CBS, NYT, MSDNC, the Compost - hell, we could see a bidding war for his services.
Certainly, "caveat emptor" applies to the internet and any site on the internet. People need to be judicious. It's sad Wikipedia got scammed but then again we have many phonies in universities across the country. At least, Wikipedia is free for the masses, unlike college educations.
He's a liberal, so not only does he get a pass from the flogging, he gets to move on to bigger and better things. I hear John Edwards needs an anti-Christian blogger for his campaign.

The guy picked a good book. Fr. John Trigilio is a good writer.
I wonder if he managed to locate a copy of Calvinism for Dummies for his bookshelf?
