The One People's Project website has the following commentary on its front page:
PROOF THAT BILL WHITE NEEDS A LIFE Many of us who trapse about the internet have found our way to an online encyclopedia called Wikipedia. This encyclopedia allows visitors to publish and edit entries on a person, topic, etc. Of course, this policy lends itself to abuse, and the operators of the website have often deleted entries that are questionable. That may need to happen soon.
This week, a few entries that a user named "Baxter2" seems to have a hand in authoring were published. One of them is for Bill White. Another is for Erica Hardwick, another for Chuck Munson of Infoshop.org, yet another for Tad Kepley of Anarchy! Magazine and then one for One People's Project. All of them put a negative light on all of their subjects, except one - Bill. In fact, the negative things said about each of the other subjects are exactly the same charges and same spin that Bill puts on these subjects on his own site, Overthrow.com. In his user info page, "Baxter2" notes that he had came to Wikipedia to "flesh out" the article on Bill White, and while he was there contribute to the other entries. He listed the entries he had also contributed to, which included the above as well as one for Jennifer Adams, who White lived with for a spell in Missouri (we think it has since been deleted). It should be noted that Bill was bitching earlier this week about a Wikipedia entry on him, and it is very curious to us how "Baxter2" has the same writing style and talking points that Bill has. Based on this, we think that Bill is the actual author of all of these entries, and is basically trying to use Wikipedia to give credibility to the BS he normally posts on Overthrow that has long been discounted as a credible source.
We have contacted the folks at Wikipedia and asked them to investigate the matter, and we hope to hear from them soon. As much as we would like the entry, truly there are better authors than Bill--we mean "Baxter2". We are posting this to let our readers know not to trust the current entry on us or any that "Baxter2" is associated with.
Oh, and Bill? Get over yourself. With the ongoing investigations of HUD and the FBI (no they did not drop them, you idiot), one would have thought that something would have broken past your dellusion that you are accomplishing something.
[edit] Acquaintances
- Many of her acquaintances state that her views haven't changed but that she went to the anti-racist organizations to retaliate against former boyfriends. This is backed up by letters written by her to an online newsgroup where she speaks disparagingly about non-whites.
The material at the link is from 2002, which I believe was before Hardwick's purported "change". We have no way of verifying what "many of her acquaintances" have stated. Altogether, I don't see how this helps the article. -Willmcw 22:58, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
- I have read statements of former fellow organizers that also backup my statement. I will look them up and if chronologically relevant, I will re-add the statement. Grika Ⓣ 13:32, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

- That's fine. Can you provide the source for the statements too, please? Thanks, -Willmcw 20:16, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
