Anglo-Irish incident

[edit]

It is incredible that there is no mention of the link between the "Anglo-Irish incident" and Wikipedia, and that the Dickie Rock article continues to be mostly unsourced. The issue was this, "Anglo Irish Bank has begun an investigation after lewd additions made to the Wikipedia page of cabaret singer Dickie Rock were found to have originated from one of its computers." from http://www.tribune.ie/article/2009/may/10/lewd-edits-to-dickie-rock-wikipedia-page-made-at-a/ This underscores the importance of good monitoring. And a well sourced article would have helped prevent the incident. cckkab (talk) 10:05, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's on there now. Good monitoring yes, but well sourced would not have prevented the incident. Having said that some cleanup is needed.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:58, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy section

[edit]

I propose deleting the Wikipedia controversy. It's trivial; and it tells us nothing about the subject. Ok, he gave a sensible response when asked about the incident, but so would most people. Maproom (talk) 10:20, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
