Why is it vandalism to modify your contribution to be more in-line with what your link says?: The lawsuits say university employees ignored the first attack, resuming classes and blaming the attack on Sem's improper meditation. Sem was placed in the custody of Joel Wynsong, the university's dean of men, and taken to Wynsong's apartment on campus, where he stole a paring knife, court documents said. He then fled the apartment and went to the dining hall where he stabbed Butler, records show. The lawsuits allege the university was negligent for failing to recognize the threat Sem posed to students, reporting the initial attack to authorities and keeping Sem away from other students after he attacked Killian.

Peter has a habit of deleting entire sections without vetting with the rest of the contributors so I don't see me as having any influence on the situation Well, if he puts that phrase back in, delete it and reference a professional editor (moi)! , save that I possibly made it worse by challenging Andrew on a point or two. He got angry after that and started quoting 3rd hand sources within the body of the article. The nastier, the better, IMHO. Of course. You're doing terrific work, Lawson, but if Andrew has time on his hands, countering his distortions and misstatements is going to be a full-time job. Eh. Selective quoting is what Wiki is all about in these controversial areas, I suspect. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Yahoo! Groups gets a make over.

I'm surprised you'd say that about Andrew Skolnick's contributions, Vaj. He's as rabid an anti-TMer as you are.

Which parts are those? Why, the parts that say positive things about TM, silly! Actually it looks pretty accurate and pretty balanced now, at least for the moment. Peter went in and got rid of Skolnick's worst depredations. But, oh, man, does it need a good copy-edit! I'd volunteer, but there's not much point as long as it's still in flux. Actually there is one minor factual error: the price of TM in the U.S. is said to have been $75 in the late '70s. When I learned in 1976, it was $125.

Click on the history tab to see what I mean... Omigod, what a disaster. Skolnick's going to turn the entry into a rerun of his JAMA article if he's not stopped. I'm tempted to put in a paragraph or three on the JAMA episode and point out that one of the people making contributions to the entry is the author of the JAMA muckraking piece and that he was sued by TM for it. There ought to be *some* way of getting a person barred from editing Wikipedia entries when it can be demonstrated that they have a personal interesting in and a history of smearing whatever the entry is about. Or at the very least, there ought to be some way of identifying such a person's contributions in the main entry. (Laswon, please do me a flavor: Don't let Peter Klutz keep putting in the phrase comprises of--it isn't English. You corrected it once, and he put it back in; then you or someone else corrected it again--but he's liable to put it back if you're not careful. Minor point, but the phrase is really illiterate.) You're doing terrific work, Lawson, but if Andrew has time on his hands, countering his distortions and misstatements is going to be a full-time job. Not only has Judy Stein never met a mass-murdering dictator she didn't like, now she wants to adopt the TACTICS of dictators herself: she now wants to prevent Andrew Skolnick from exercising his First Amendment rights to free speech.
