Fred, you say "Roth is an elderly man
googling" and I am wondering if there
is an age at which people using Wikipedia in the estimation of this list
become unfit to drive?
Elderly or not, there is the issue of authentication. On the
internet, famously, nobody know you're a dog -- but nobody knows
if you're Phillip Roth, either. Does anyone know if OTRS became
involved, here? If the admin (whoever it was) had referred him
there, instead just accusing him of "not being a credible
source", this might have turned out differently.
