It seem to me to be sad statement that it takes this kind of work to get the truth out, but it looks like my informal role as "Emeritus President" of USENIX may pay a small dividend.
Rik Farrow, the current USENIX Board and I had a round of email yesterday. It turns out a number of members of the USENIX Board have also has similar or in one case worse experiences, with the Wikipedia folks -- so folks were more than happy to see if they can help make it right.
Rik in his role as the editor of ;login is going to try work with Doug and to get something "published" into the next edition which should satisfy the Wikipedia folks. There is a minor issue is that Rik is technically past the deadline but due to the holiday, there are a few days of grace that the workers putting the issue together have said they will thankfully try to handle.
So maybe we can have get this fixed shortly.
