About Peter

I'm an Australian, based in the Washington, DC, area of the United States. I spend a lot of time there with Jasmine, Australia's best-known speedsolver of the Rubik's Cube. Prior to the US, Jasmine and I were based in London, UK. We have also lived previously in the United States and Australia.

I have worked for an Australian business rules and compliance company since 1999 in Australia, the US and the UK. I have also lectured in IT and Law related topics at King's College, London, and at The Australian National University.

I have some more information and a list of publications available (pop-up window).

Wikipedia: A tool for character assassination?

Dave Winer suggests that Wikipedia can be a well adapted tool for character assassination, where articles are used to defame people. He links to a Guardian article by Seth Finkelstein which considers the question: should people be able to have entries about them removed from Wikipedia, or would that be an admission that collective editing by volunteers cannot guarantee fairness or accuracy?
