The problem is the words "though" and "was".  This would be factual:

Oh you mean protect article  ;). They won't full protect it (meaning only admins can edit) unless there is an edit war/vandalism between accounts that can edit through semi-protected pages... usually. And they won't semi-protect it unless there is lots of vandalism or edit wars.

They will, however, aggressively enforce the Biographies of Living Persons [WP:BLP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons)] policy on it.  This is especially the case considering it involves disclosure of (potential) facts that would tend to bring down heat on someone who may not even be the person in question.

Really? So if someone publicly announces you are insane, when in fact you're not, it's up to you to make public statement to deny it? What if he doen't care what idiots from newsweek say?

If he doesn't care, he doesn't care.  But he might want to care because a lot of people will think he is Satoshi because the main stream media still influences public opinion (same reason people still believe Obama was born in Hawaii :) ) ...and if a lot of people think he's Satoshi, they'll try to get his coins, and it puts him and his family in danger.

Well it's on the inter-webs then it must be true right? NO GOD DAMNIT. And why are you people so obsess about Satoshi's real identity? Leave the guy/girl/group alone, they have done enough for the community. Will revealing the creator of Bitcoin do any good? I'm sure a couple of retards will blame things like the Gox incident or any other disasters in the system on him/her/them if we know who he/she is / they are so we're better off leaving this a mystery.

Wikipedia's threshold for inclusion is "verifiability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:V)", not truth. "Verifiability" means "reliable sources" which means mainstream media, which Newsweek is. Hence, according to Wikipedia's not-prominently-displayed policies, the Dorian story should indeed be included and stated as fact or "almost fact".

Wikipedia makes no truth-value judgment, which is why it is effectively another arm/tool of the control system, just like the mainstream media.
