Comment on Wikipedia is being manipulated, you can't trust anybody now

Comments

'Byrne has long argued that the press dismissed his views at least in part because Weiss - hiding behind various anonymous accounts - spent years controlling the relevant articles on Wikipedia, the "free online encyclopedia anyone can edit."'

If The Register is reporting this correctly - a long shot by current online journalism standards - then this guy is simply a crank. Who needs Wikipedia in order to get heard?

I wouldn't call him a crank, maybe he is even right, but this was my thought as well...he could maintain a blog for example, write all his findings there a now everyone could see what he was up to back then.
