What is wonderous about Wikipedians, in this context, is how fiercely they keep fighting the same war with the same people over the same criteria: notability and reliability in the print SF world. One of the sources Quatloo is resisting is the SFWA site. They have, in the past, rejected edits from TNH about books she's edited, and PNH about the SF publishing business, saying they're unsourced.

Primary sources in the other-than-scientific-journal print world pretty much all come down to "personal communication" citations; Wikipedia is apparently trying to apply standards appropriate to one sort of information across the board.

Also, I now have a SGA bunny for sale, involving McKay in a Wikiedit War.
