Starts off sounding like the great beginning of a ten page article. Then abruptly ends after two pages, accomplishing little, if anything. Still good to see the words "dysfunctional community" used to describe WP by a general purpose tech publication.

I found it to be six pages. Still ends abruptly, but it does a pretty good job of at least casting doubt. Sure would be nice if SOME mainstream press would finally credit Wikipedia Review's role in the Essjay scandal. Alas, this one still gives all credit to The New Yorker.
