William Rodriguez Redux. Sigh.

I received an email informing me that Rodriguez is still spouting his nonsense. Checking his Wikipedia page, I see that there are mild mentions of controversies regarding his claims, but no listing of his numerous false and mistaken claims and links to solid refutations.

As some of you may know, I wrote an extensive examination of Rodriguez's claims in 2007 and invited him to respond to my evidence, which he never did.

If anyone here has Wikipedia skills and would care to take the time to edit Rodriguez's page with details of his claims and links to my work, I would be most grateful.

No one of any political or intellectual significance cares much about William Rodriguez.

It seems that Willie found himself without a sponsor after Jimmy Walter decided to save what remained of his inheritance and walked away from Trutherism.

I've never seen him at a Richard Gage event. (Richard Gage doesn't pay, he expects to be paid.) But I imagine that if another rich idiot like Jimmy Walter comes along wanting to squander his inheritance, Willie is willing to step in again.
 
I moved the lengthy derail about WTC Dust's 'advanced weaponry theory of foamification' to the already split threads on that topic here. Please, stick to the subject matter of the thread and do not engage in lengthy off-topic derails. Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

Hopefully, Willie is still a practicing Muslim. I'd hate to thing his conversion was mostly an "anti-imperialist" badge of honor.

Much obliged. :)

@ the OP:

1) Good to see you Mr. Roberts.

2) Looks like the Rodriguez article, along with all 9/11 topics, are subject to moderator review before approval. Granted it's been awhile since I've edited a wiki article, but I'll give it a whirl and see what happens.

Did anyone edit the Wikipedia? I think we have a few posters here that can do this.

Frankly, I don't see the point in editing it. It won't add anything to the article, and it'll be a nightmare to keep it at a neutral POV (especially if a truther comes across it).

It could use some editing to get rid of some of the puffery (the line "after more than two years of telling his story to enthralled audiences" sticks out), but it really is best left as is.

Edit: The article is only semi-protected, which means only users with a wikipedia-account can edit it.

Thanks all for your warm wishes.

KDLarsen, I understand that it might be impossible to keep edits unchallenged and to maintain neutrality, but why do you think my information wouldn't add anything to the article?
 
A few years ago Jonathon Kay was in a debate where he stated that Rodriguez has expressed concern towards CTists misusing his claims. I contacted Jonathon Kay asking if he remembered where he got that information and he responded saying he couldn't remember. I was a little bummed out because I rather like Jonathon Kay, or at least, I thought he always did well in his debates on the subject.
 
If there is traffic on the Wikipedia page, then the actual truth should be on there somewhere. I don't have a wikipedia account, but I'm sure creating one shouldn't be a huge issue.
