Wow high and mighty much?
I haven't had chance to look into this; but I bet I know what I will
find. Someone being a bit of a jerk to him, which has led to having to
take this approach. Which is about rebutting Wikipedia rather than the
source which we cited.
Rather than whining about him we need to see the problem; it's an
attitude problem HERE.

Roth is an active writer and renowned, Nobel Prize finalist...right this
moment..to dismiss him as "an elderly man googling" underscores why
there
may be intergenerational unease on this enterprise. Show respect.This
comment that "Roth is an elderly man googling is spiteful and not a valid
point.
I'm older than he is. Roth is not the the first celebrity to think he
could dictate Wikipedia content. Michael Moore also felt he could throw
his weight around. And, no, I don't respect that move. Instead of
spending decades on line they wrote books and produced documentaries;
they are Noobies here regardless of their accomplishments elsewhere;
crying babies squalling and throwing their rattles.
