[WikiEN-l] A Wikipedia lynching

Wed Jan 18 21:09:01 UTC 2006

A editor recently accused others and their source, Prof. Harvey Klehr, of
being part of a lynching.
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Harry_Magdoff_and_espionage&diff=34950836&oldid=34254772
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Harry_Magdoff_and_espionage&diff=34950836&oldid=34254772>

He has repeated these libels here
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_Americans_in_the_Venona_papers&diff=35566271&oldid=35564984
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_Americans_in_the_Venona_papers&diff=35566271&oldid=35564984%C2%A0>

<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Americans_in_the_Venona_papers&diff=34527735&oldid=34519165>

alleging this 'Posse' Comitatus is part of a conspiracy to justify civil
rights violations.

Now the editor has filed an RfM to force insertion of defamatory criticism
like this of Prof. Harvey Klehr in several articles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_mediation#Significance_of_Venona.2C_List_of_Americans_in_the_Venona_papers.2C_and_Harry_Magdoff_and_espionage

What the editor neglects to state in his RfM is his own conflict of
interest, cited here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_arbitration/Nobs01_and_others/Evidence#Nobs01_view_of_Cberlet.27s_request

and here

How long will this abuse of legitimate Wikipedia dispute resolution
processes be tolerated?
