Dan seems to have inexplicably forgotten to mention that he originally created this article, which might have unfortunately led the RISKS reader to suppose this was a disinterested observation on the deletion process from an unbiased observer.

He also seems to have failed to mention that the mysterious "they" here was one person who politely withdrew the deletion proposal after a few comments. Is there no end to their iniquity?
I've said in the past that Wikipedia's a bit of a sausage factory under the surface, but I'm not sure these are the most trenchant criticisms of the process RISKS has ever featured.
