Calm down ambi. You of all people should not get upset about all
this, since this is your field of professional study.

Besides you home page, you may not demand that all traces of your
involvment be removed. You willfully released your contributions in
the GNU Free Documentation License. It's out of your hands. You
should have thought about that before contributing. (It's at the
bottom of every edit page, and you are a law student after all).

Stomping you foot may work in a bar with cute guys. Most of use are
neither cute or in a bar.
