So what was wrong with citing the Christic Institute hearings, which covered all the information given, or quoting books where the stuff could be investigated further?

The H2G2 Editors

We've already told you this in an email, autist. We cannot buy all the books that you quote, we do not have access to the Christic Institute Hearings, and we do not have the resources to investigate all your claims, and your claims have *not* been substantiated in a form that we can verify.

Until this is done, we are not prepared to publish it. Sorry, but we are not prepared to take the risk until you persuade us of the accuracy of your entry, and you have not done this yet. The responsibility for material published here falls on the BBC, and they are not happy to publish your entry as it stands.

Point us to sources we can access without spending large amounts of time or money on fact-checking your entry for you, and we will check them out. Until that time, the entry has to remain hidden, on advice we have received from the BBC advisory group.
