Dear Jabezclegg

Why not create a hautalk wikipedia page and link it. A page cannot be primarily overpowered by edits from adverse and malicious parties. Imagine what wikipedia would look like!

One entry of one journal cannot be shoved and exploded with these structural and personal problems.

"Encyclopedic content must be verifiable" is a primary wikipedia criteria. Further wikipedia counts as unverifiable, things like anonymous allegations made on anonymous blogs. In general only allegations made by identifiable individuals can be prosecuted for libel, anonymous allegations cannot. Allegations made to the police or in court are of a different nature from anonymous allegations made on anonymous blogs or unverifiable sources. These can be references if they have been submitted.
