Frankly it does not reflect well on this site.
Earlier on today I thought I'd add a couple of headings with a view to inviting PHers to add content. My first edit was a simple statement along the lines of "PH has over 2500000 members and lists over 16000000 posts", both of these numbers being easily verifiable from Haymarket and PH itself respectively.
This edit lasted about 3 minutes before being changed back!
Looking through the editing history it seems there is a long history of small changes, some in good faith, some vandalism, but overall an absolutely rubbish article.
Surely we deserve better?
Will anyone add a section on the NEC show, a quick summary of membership (I tried..), a mention of the PH book, our support (IIRC) of the air ambulance service.
As it is the write up is poor and gives a somewhat negative impression.

Looks like any Wikipedia just-longer-than-a-stub article to me. I can see what you mean, with the apparent bulk of it talking about allegations that don't reflect well on us to the general public, but any petrolhead wanting to find out about us would come here, rather than Wikipedia. Pages about websites always seem a little pointless, really!
