From a reader:

Last night I stumbled upon the transcript of a heated Wikipedia debate among a clique of clunkheads who wanted to delete any reference to your existence in their hallowed pages two years ago.  When you get down to the part with the debate between Calton (who, apparently, thinks national press coverage means people might have heard of you) and this blowhard Wikipedia administrator Encephalon who apparently thinks the BBC is some sort of vanity press, it becomes some of the funniest shit of all time:

I was going to say this is an illustration of why Wikipedia sucks, but then again it's somewhat useful and these cabals of power trip airheads exist everywhere in society.
