"Dimitris Lioudis, a 23-year-old trainee lawyer from Athens, was sued for libel last year for writing about a Greek politician, Theodore Katsanevas. Last week, the judge overseeing the case issued an order that he remove the article from the site.

That got the attention of the Wikimedia Foundation, which has now made a public vow to support Liourdis throughout the litigation.

Say what you will about the Wiki, at least they know where their content comes from."

    Best part ... "English-language Wikipedia did not host a page about Katsanevas at all until Friday, when the dispute was publicized to the community by Wikimedia's blog post."
