I know it's over two months after the fact, but only today did I discover this fascinating Twitter war between Jimbo and a PhD quasi-journalist who is an "open knowledge" advocate. She was relentless with Jimbo, not letting him weasel his way out of the facts presented in my Examiner report.

And hardly anyone else noticed. Thus it never happened. Apparently Mr. Wales has a free license to spew lies any time he wishes to.

I'd just like to thank Mason here for scooping this important story that I then broke to the wider public on Examiner.com, which then spawned following-day coverage in numerous global media properties. The story was so big, it even ended up in Wikipedia's excellent article, List of Wikipedia controversies (T-H-L).
