Sam got banned from Wikipedia for using multiple identities to try and create a false consensus to force the community of Wikipedia to accept cut and pastes of his articles, and links to his articles and supporters in lieu of accurate information on several topics (though I doubt if the fact that he publicly threatened Jimbo Wales with a non-specific “class action” if he did not let him have ALL HIS OWN WAY, helped too much?).
See:
The articles has to be rewritten, I had assumed that some of Sam’s writing could be used or incorporated (for convenience, though not the linkspam!), but when I tried to cite any of it to what Wikipedia calls “reliable sources”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:RS
(Sam does not qualify to say the least) I found, to my absolute horror, that Sam’s statements did not check out with the sources he attributed them to.
Understand, I have never believed in Sam, and always been privy to the fact that Sam doesn’t believe in what he is doing himself and is very cynical about it. But, on a more personal level I had always seen reason to believe that Sam had too great a fascination with information to baldly misrepresent it.
I found out differently, the day I began to rebuild the NPD related articles from, cited, reliable sources without misinformation. I had a lot of help from a couple of qualified shrinks (who preferred to avoid Sam and his supporters retaliating with their customary mudslinging by remaining anonymous) to rebuild them in a hurry, but, at this stage (nearly 2 years later), the articles have been refined and overwritten by many other editors, and have little or nothing to do with me, nothing at all to do with Sam, and a lot to do with real, verified information.

(I had little or nothing to do with the Asperger Syndrome article on Wikipedia? Where does that keep coming from?)
