Edensentinel is not a sock puppet of Rupert Allason. I have noted your comments about citation. This post remains unbalanced as is, since it does not address how such an apparently dishonest witness escaped further action. The elements you have removed refer to the police investigation which found no such evidence. What edit would you suggest to address this discrepancy?

Sock-puppet
Edensentinel seems to be a sock-puppet of Rupert Allason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.215.180 (talk) 09:56, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I note the unsigned allegation above. Edensentinel is not a sock puppet of Rupert Allason. A comment from a Judge of such strength as Mr Justice Laddie's would normally require a police investigation and consideration for prosecution. That there was no follow up prosecution is a fact that is not noted in the current entry. That fact remains a negative which is not reported in the press and consequently it is a challenge to cite. The positive fact of the police investigation and subsequent decision there were no charges to answer is again difficult to cite. However, they are straightforward facts; it ought to be possible to include some coverage of this detail. As a community we have a responsibility to ensure that entries are properly balanced and accurate.

Allason spent some considerable part of his publishing career exposing the fabrications of others through historical research, and has been involved in serious legal cases, all bar one of which he won. There is an unknown someone who appears to object to my post adding some factual context. My previous attempts to add to this entry have likewise been edited out. I am concerned this may not be a coincidence.

I do wish to see this matter dealt with properly, and would greatly appreciate the support and guidance of those who, like me, wish Wikipedia's entries to have greater accuracy.
