Policing Wikipedia in West Yorkshire

The Telegraph reports on a tussle over the Wikipedia entry on the chief constable of West Yorkshire Police. This has resulted in the entry being locked for the next two weeks.

The neutral point of view is an admirable perspective, but so much in our political, public, legal and academic life depends on an argument between opposing views that this type of dispute will become more and more common. (To give another West Yorkshire example, it's easy to see that 'positive' and 'negative' views have also contributed to the Leeds Metropolitan University entry. Cussed folk, these tykes.)
