We're just recording what has already been discussed in 132 reliable sources. We're not "victimizing" him any more than we are victimizing Silvio Berlusconi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlusconi#Sexual_scandals) or John Edwards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Edwards_extramarital_affair) or John Kerry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kerry_military_service_controversy) or Anthony Weiner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Weiner#Twitter_controversy). The Kerry example is especially pertinent as both it and the Santorum article are an entire Wikipedia article about things that other people made up about the subject of the article. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
