You may have noticed that I don't like the idea of Usmanov's biography being sanitised, and posted on its talk page to that effect. But this is a completely different matter from the way Wikipedia handles complaints. Wikipedia gets anonymous contributions that spin just as well as the best PR companies, only negatively, and there must be a way for justifiably aggrieved biography subjects to get some satisfaction. Francis Ingham, the guy who made that comment about Wikipedia's cumbersome and opaque complaints system, is the PRCA director-general, and he does not work for Finsbury as far as I know. And it so happens I and Tom Morris here for example said exactly the same thing about the complaints system until a few weeks ago – until Oliver revamped the whole thing. That still doesn't mean every OTRS e-mail will get a prompt reply, but it's a step in the right direction. Andreas
