A year on, this Catch-22-like tale has somehow resurfaced, and Wikiland is once again embroiled in the sort of onlne controversy you won't find in our world.

Wikifiddlers with access to the oversight logs tell us the logs were indeed oversighted - by none other than David Gerard, the Wikipedia UK press officer/Goth who led the charge against the site's Internet Watch Foundation anti-child-porn blacklisting. Jimmy Wales has given Gerard a talking to, according to comments the Wikipedia co-founder recently made on the site. But the Wikihordes are still calling for an online flogging.
