Wikipedia’s biggest scandal: Industrial-scale blackmail

You make a hell of a lot of claim about Wikipedia and the people associated with it (it can damage reputations on an "industrial scale", it rakes in $70 million in donations but only needs $3 million/year to run, an editor has been ostracised for reporting another editor to the police etc etc etc) but I don't see a single source for any of those claims. The only part of the story I understand to be true (because I've seen it published elsewhere) is the fact that Wikipedia just turfed out a load of astroturfers and sock-puppets.

Please provide some sources for the other stuff if you want me to think it's anything more than a rant against a website you don't care for.
