Introduction

In June 2020, I first edited W. Ian Lipkin's website.  Added sections re Lipkin's high-profile input into the world's understanding of Covid - the biggest event of our lifetime.   As it stood, the Lipkin wiki-page was, like most scientists' pages, a wordy puff-piece - in fact it had been cited for copy-pasting straight from his Columbia puff-piece bio. I didn't change any that.  There was a small paragraph on Lipkin's contribution to Covid

I knew the information was explosive, but saw an urgent need for it to be made public.  This guy was pumping the media to "preach" so took pains to ref everything to the to the hilt.

State the facts - use the subject's own words as much as possible.  No opinions, no adjectives unless needed to convey quantity. 

According to Wiki's golden rule that information must be verifiable, the work will be bullet-proof.

How naive i was.

This is the documentation of that experience.  First the article as posted - later some notes from Inside a Wiki-War.
