I don't think Essjay should really be the focus. Jimmy Wales should be in the spotlight. The fact is, after Essjay's compulsive lying, Jimmy Wales promoted him AFTER Essjay was found out. Wales REWARDED Essjay for his fraud. JImmy Wales is just not the right sort of character to run the Wikipedia project. Only scum will rise to the top under his "benevolent rule". I think it's to late to change Wikipedia, and I hope someone can "fork" the Wikipedia so serious editors can start editing again.
