It’s with regret that I direct your attention to this blog post from ReadWriteWeb (RWW). To sum it up: RWW, one of the 20 most visited blogs on the planet, has been on Wikipedia’s spam blacklist for something approaching a year. Naturally, RWW founder and editor Richard MacManus was a bit miffed to learn of this. And like any netizen passionate about his work, he took steps to get the error corrected. But the approach he took went horribly awry. http://wikiprojectoregon.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/practicing-division-an-ill-informed-blog-post-from-readwriteweb/
