Online dispute on Mongolia's politicians
Since some time there has developed a lively dispute on the entries of Mongolian politicians in Wikipedia. Especially posts on current prime minister
Miyeegombo Enkhbold and previous prime minister Tsakhiag Elbegdorj have been subject to some severe mud throwing their discussion pages (see Enkhbold and Elbegdorj)
The players in the discussion are one person under the name of Latebird, who by others is "proven" to be the son of Enkhbold; the main opponent is a New York based Mongolian/Brit under the name of Lemonhead who "doesn't like corruption". Academic challenger is supposed to oversee the battlefield, but doesn't completely stay out of the line of fire.
The discussion gets rough when lemonhead ("I contribute to wikipedia only fact based verified information") depicts Enkhbold as "Mongolia's corrupted Prime Minister of non-military junta government".
For those not so familiar with Wiki-slang: (N)POV = (Neutral) Point Of View

Sad to see when people purportedly supporting democracy fail to understand how spreading obvious lies will undermine their own goals.
It is better to see the truth in wikipedia rather than painted artificial story. So, discussion and argument is good.
