wikipedia libel!

facingthefuture

I am so annoyed, there is something that comes up on wikipedia to do with my dad which is libellous. I can prove with an independent report that it is totally wrong! I have changed it but someone keeps changing it back - what can I do?

Also is there a way I can be emailed as soon as it is changed so I can change it back?

Thanks

Is your father alive? If he is dead he can't be libelled. See, for instance

If the report is available on the Internet try adding a section on the talk page about it, explaining your rationale for wanting to change it (ie. say that the current information is incorrect and needs to be changed, don't mention it's about your dad). Leave it for people to review then after a few days change it and leave a comment asking people to look at your section the talk page. People will be much more likely to not revert your changes if you do this.
