For those who followed my earlier posts I am pleased to say that, at least for the moment, right did win out and Peter Damian is restored as an editor. Nice to see him back at work this morning removing some of the POV material on the NLP article. I have long seen NLP as a manipulative pseudo-science and making sure that the article is question is factual rather than promotional is important. After that we can move onto Spiral Dynamics....

Dave: another fascinating example of the failings of the wikipedia high priesthood is The Register's "Emails show journalist rigged wikipedia's naked shorts", which describes the difficulties Patrick Byrne encountered when he tried to warn that abusive "naked short selling" was threatening the health of America's financial markets.
As recently as last week, Weiss told us he's never even edited Wikipedia. But emails shared with Byrne and The Register show that Weiss has in fact edited the encyclopedia's article on naked shorting. And they indicate he's behind an infamous Wikipedia account known as "Mantanmoreland," an account that - with the backing of the site's brain trust - ruled the articles on naked shorting, Patrick Byrne, and Overstock from January 2006 to March 2008
