Justin Berry and related incidents
This is happening more and more lately. Perhaps you might be interested in the Brian Peppers incident? It's very convoluted (intentionally made that way by members of Wikipedia who seek to supress this information), so allow me to oversimplify what happened: 1. A few kids wrote garbage articles about Brian Peppers, they were deleted. 2. Someone writes a well-referenced article about Brian Peppers, and it is re-deleted under the notion that it was somehow a "recreation of deleted content". 3. An administrator attempts to point this out, and the facts slowly become obfuscated. 4. A vote is held, twice, regarding the rewritten article, both times there being a majority (66%) vote supporting to keep the article. 5. Jimbo Wales DELETES the article, stating that, and I quote: "I didn't delete it on a whim. It was an inappropriate recreation of previously AfD's content, and should have been speedied right off the bat. The only thing out of process here was inappropriate recreation.--Jimbo Wales 03:11, 23 February 2006 (UTC)" There is a lot to sort out in this big mess, if you're interested I can provide you links. I also have access to deleted records, as all deleted edits are viewable by administrators of Wikipedia. If you need copies of anything which was deleted, please let me know, I'd be *MORE* than happy to help you. (So long as he has not had the developers delete the deleted entry, all deleted edits are more accurately decribed as "hidden".) I hope to hear from you soon.
