I don't have the time to learn how to discuss here. I have repeatedly warned this site of libel. It is not up to me to remove libel, you are the publishers of it. I like wiki, I don't want to take this legal and harm you. But when you are informed of libel, why are you unable to fix it? Why does it keep reappearing? I won't be talking here again, I have a life you know. Do you guys want lawyers and suits and all that? I have repeatedly sent emails about this, with no replies. YOu are taking huge huge huge risks in not doing something to stop the libel.



Okay, a later post. This is not the easiest site to figure out what to do or where to do it. I don't in fact have any idea where this is going to end up, or if anyone will see it at all. But here goes: It is arguable that ATlantic Monthly and Harpers "letters to editors" are on the level of "contributions." The "letters" in these magazines are more akin to academic journal peer review letters. For example, the Atlantic "letter" was something like 800 words, and was responded to at length by the authors of the original article the "letter" was about. The Harpers was replied to as well, and was shorter, maybe 400 words. In my world, academic journal letters are called articles. These were lengthy essays in these magazines. They get a lot of them, and to get into the letters section in those two august magazines is about as hard as it is to publish an article in most other magazines of lesser distinction. The prize winning articles are in Geist Magazine, two of them, both $500 prizes, and therefore substantial. They were national contests, and in every way are prize winning. The "letters" and the prize winning stories were mentioned in a long list of writing credits, but were seized on alone as some sort of fabrication, and because I am bad at keeping records of my credits, I don't have the time to look them all up and check them out. So the general ones were removed, leaving the letters and the prize winners, which then looked like they were the only things I had written, leaving the whole thing looking ridiculous. I wrote emails to wiki for someone to tell me where to find info on how to do the accreditations for these claims, but no one ever got back to me. I am too busy with outside activities to learn all the intricate practices here, and asked for help. None was forthcoming. The latest postings at the page about me have been very libelous, and surely to anyone's eye, obviously inspired by some kind of vendetta. The whole thing has been frustrating, and since I put it up in the first place, not knowing it was such a huge crime to put a page up about myself (so I am creative with political campaigning, that's a crime? I am a columnist in the biggest circulation community paper in canada, and a publisher of a substantial and small newspaper, I believe that qualifies a page) I just want it taken down. The libel is hurtful and frustrating and some people just seem to have so much time to keep posting it. The quotes that are put up now are dangerous to post without the context of the articles they come from, and taken out of context obviously provide a totally different meaning than what they provide in the context of the articles. Because there are death threats and police involved, it is a more serious matter than just context or not, and unless the whole articles are up, nothing should be. So I beg of you, a little help here, please.
