I haven't seen any mention of this, so just merge to existing discussion if any.

Rupert Murdoch's Sunday paper, the News of the World, is embroiled in a vast phone-hacking scandal, and he shuts it down, while Rebekah Brooks gives out denial after denial about any knowledge of what her employees were doing...

Rebekah Brooks worked hand-in-hand with Freud Communications, and there are quite a few stories that may have been planted by that firm...

Freud Communications employs Kate Garvey (former Tony Blair aide), who fills the role of Director, and who probably at this moment has her hands full, what with all the unraveling threads at Freud Communications and her engagement to Jimbo Wales, a close relationship since the May previous at least.

Is Jimbo blissfully counting baby photos and keeping the long-distance-relationship with his fiancee fresh? Or is he reviewing in his mind any correspondence and agreements with Freud Communications he may have left behind in London?

Of course, this might all be just a big ball of coincidence... dry.gif

Pardon if this has already been mentioned elsewhere.

Jimbo seemed to think that Wikipedia should have a biography of living person Glenn Mulcaire.

Gamaliel disagreed.

Jimbo whined that he wanted it his way. In fact, Jimbo even suggested snooping about the guy's children, his educational background, even whether he goes to church or not.

After the biography had become a clear mockery of what an encyclopedia should publish, Off2riorob decided that Jimbo had, indeed, gone too far.
