 * Where is the issue taking place?
 * Fred Newman ...Article is constantly being modified with largely unreferenced, highly NPOV content written by a long-time critic of the subject.


 * Who's involved?Author of most of the negative content is journalist Dennis King, writing anonymously


 * What's going on?
 * ...To maintain POV, constant monitoring and sqaubbles are needed to counter unreferenced speculations, editorializing, insertion of unverified allegations, allegations refuted, speculative editorializing about why (largely Mr King's) allegations get refuted, and that sort of tedium.


 * ''What would you like to change about that?
 * ...Ideally, to have article reverted to a stub until a decent NPOV entry can be added. The material that keeps being inserted there is bordering dangerously on libel/slander (as well as being often false).


 * Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?
 * yes
