I think that the Wikimepdia community should be glad that the Twitter 
exposure and the question in Parliament (under parliamentary privilege) 
deflected interest away from the Wikipedia entry.

Note that 75,000 are alleged to have tweeted the name. Where as the 
Wikipedia entry was edited by a handful at most.

"We cannot put 75,000 people in prison". Indeed, and Wikipedia editors 
should take note...... (and yes I know that the servers are outside the 
UK and the publisher is not UK organisation).

Suggestion: modify the living people rules..... since "you cannot libel 
the dead".
