I got into a major row with some liberal editors over there about a completely phony quote attributed to an Intelligent Design proponent. According to Wikipedia policies regarding articles or parts of articles about living persons, blatantly and obviously false information can be removed without discussion. I did so with this quote and the anti-ID forces threw a fit even though I provided absolute proof (including an admission by one of their favorite bloggers) that the quote was fake. There was, as I said, a major row with vicious accusations leveled at me and attempts to permanently shut me up. I prevailed, however, and while the phony quote wasn't entirely removed, it was taken out of sections of direct quotes and clarified that it was one person's paraphrase. Still, this paraphrase was falsely presented as a direct quote for YEARS - all the way back to April and June of 2005. That's completely shocking. Not one person questioned it during all this time (or they did and were shouted down and didn't fight back as I did).
