The Group of 88 & Wikipedia

Some interesting comments in a Wikipedia discussion thread regarding efforts to remove mention of their membership in the Group from Wikipedia bios of Group of 88 members. The evidence regarding Cathy Davidson, author of the infamous N&O apologia for the Group, is particularly troubling, in that the editor/whitewasher was traced to a CUNY IP on the same day that Davidson began her CUNY service.

I welcome insights from any Wikipedia editors in the comment thread.



HP commenting: This is perturbing. See 519-520 in MELVILLE BIOGRAPHY: AN INSIDE NARRATIVE for Johnson and Stuart Taylor on Cathy Davidson's rewriting the infamous 2006 "Listening Statement" early in 2007.
