Wow. Nice ego there.
If someone I knew wrote some detailed Wiki entries about Telecom DCC control
channel protocol throughputs and attacks, he could objectively state that
there would be very few people in the world up to the task. He might also
want to maintain anonymity.
Shutting down this source of wiki entries means that the general flow of
Wikipedia content has been altered slightly, but I would argue
significantly.
I see no material issue with an individual claiming that the absence of his
posts to Wiki is significant, even if this is in fact untrue for his
particular case. The ego is not material to the essential point.
