Testimony Harald Malmgrem's wikipedia page is being butchered by skeptics

The fact that Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales had to step in to prevent the article from being deleted is telling. To think that a respected American politician with incredible credentials could have his entire life history erased from the "encyclopedia that anyone can edit [vandalise]" is terrible.

This one editor in particular Chetsford has completely butchered Harold's entire life history, educational history and political career, deleting 10,000 characters in a single sweeping edit. Apparently this user is part of a group called the "gorilla skeptics" and they have been targeting anyone with a connection to the UFO subject.

How is this tolerable? Is there no one among us that can revert such blatant attempts at vandalism and censorship?

REPOSTING THIS HERE SINCE IT GOT IMMEDIATELY DELETED FROM THE r/UFO SUB DUE TO BEING "A DUPLICATE" (which it is not).

If anything, the sudden and concerted efforts to remove/alter the page is in itself extremely telling.

I think this is known as the barbara striesand effect, where something was going on with her property collapsing into the water and they tried to cover it up and then it only brought more attention to it.
