You may want to know that Mr. Shroeder's editing on Wikipedia is currently being reviewed by the Arbitration Committee of Wikipedia for possible violation of Wikipedia's policies. His pseudo on Wikipedia is ScienceApologist, as disclosed in this post. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Elerner&diff=prev&oldid=202094443

Alice,
ScienceApologist has said some extremely hateful things on Wikipedia. I'd hate for the wrong person to get blamed for it. Are you sure ScienceApologist = Joshua Schroeder at Columbia? Do you know, or have you met him personally?
There is no doubt that ScienceApologist is Joshua Schroeder at Columbia University, as he has publicly acknowledge it. He arranged the Jan 2008 Wikipedia New York meet-up at the universe. See:

It would be a shame if we were to let these forces plunge us into a new dark age where knowledge is censored by a few elite like Joshua Schroeder who have taken it upon themselves to don a false cloak of authority.
Hopefully, are there folks out there in the scientific community who chafe at this blatant abuse of authority?
This vandalism censorship sould and ought to be countered by an affiliation of scientists collectively organizing specifically to address such destruction of data.
The Velikovsky Encyclopedia has more on Joshua Schroeder.
