Wikipedia Editors Hit With $10 Million Defamation Suit 268
New submitter Andreas Kolbe writes: "Businessman, philanthropist and musician Yank Barry and the Global Village Champions Foundation are suing four Wikipedia editors for defamation, claiming they have maliciously conspired to keep Barry's Wikipedia biography unduly negative. The Daily Dot article includes a copy of the legal brief and quotes Barry as saying, "My page was so ridiculously false and made me sound like a terrible person and people believed it causing deals to fall through. I finally had enough."

You jealous bro?
Wait I take that back. I'm the jealous one. I stupidly post irrelevant comments in 3 words just to be a pain in the ass. I really wish I was one of those guys who had a wiki article and it makes me sad.
