Philip Roth wrote "an open letter to Wikipedia" in The New Yorker complaining about his problems in trying to change an entry in the Wikipedia article on The Human Stain.
Philip Roth and Wikipedia fact-checks Mr. Roth's article:
Third: people should perhaps start having a debate about the way authors are treated in proper sources. The New Yorker, the Guardian, ABC News and the Los Angeles Times all respected bodies. And all, without being able and/or willing to do their own research, happily published or republished Roths assertions. We rely on these organisations for reporting what our politicians do, what our armed forces do, how entities with the power of life and death over humanity are accountable to the people. And they happily gulp down the glorified press releases of anyone who offers to let them touch his Pulitzer.

comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
