I think he wants us to email wikipedia so they will close down the EDL wikipedia page, because it is written by a UAF member I think. Would it be better if someone wrote a template and then we all emailed Wikipedia?

You won't get things closed down. You just have to go on there and fight the EDL's corner. For instance, last time I looked, they still had us quoted as having a few hundred members. You can now show them that we have well over 9,000 registered users on this forum, and well over 14,000 registered on facebook. They won't take down things that make us look bad, so we have to add things that balance the record.

You might think about starting a new thread - calling it 'wikipedia' - regarding what's actually said about us on wikipedia. We can then counter the arguments where possible. But only do so if you're actually going to put the donkey work in on wikipedia itself. You can either be a normal user who also edits various other non-EDL articles, or you can just say straight out that you're an EDL supporter. There's nothing wrong with the latter, as long as you play by their rules and provide evidence to back up any changes you want made to the article. If they won't accept things, come back and tell us why. Just briefly glancing at the current article, we can easily update and counter some things by issuing a statement regarding them on our website.

Most switched on people will not believe what is written on wiki, some of the information on there is way off the mark on a lot of subjects. However, it couldn't hurt to try and correct a few of the bollocks written about us in that article, like the numbers as suggested above.
