It's certainly a reassertion of michel's iron law of oligarchy.

That said, the article seems a little overzealous, a little like the accused poster's editing. Still, it's good to sully wikipedia's reputation a little because some people put far, far too much faith in wikipedia's "facts".

Yes,the Register is shrill to the point of borderline tabloid status. But they do put out a significant amount of original work.

Just to see for myself, I went to the Wiki page for Gary Weiss' bio and saw numerous attempts had been made to add a link to this Register article and all had been undone immediately.

Hopefully, Citizendium (like Wikipedia, but no anonymous editors and there is an editorial board) will be able to gain some traction:

it still faces the same problem.. a small group of members can block information if they wish.
