This blog consists of comments from my real blog, http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/, which I don't want to publish there. Plus some other stuff convenient to place here. And its becoming a convenient place for me to dump my comments on other blogs so I can find them again.
That appeared (after some delay I think). And got a reply, so I replied:

AG has gone quiet recently. We don't talk about him much.

(your link is a bit odd because it goes back into 2105; you probably meant https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Heartland_Institute&action=history)
Check the timestamps old fruit. My post was written on the 22nd, 3 days after this, and no-one had showed up then. PT didn't show up until late on the 22nd (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Heartland_Institute&diff=706367328&oldid=706326835).
In fact, if you were so minded, you might well think that people had showed up in response to my post, rather than to this one :-)
> There isn't a lack of "help" to get the Heartland entry accurate
Well, yes, there is a distinct lack of help. Not only that, there's even less clueful help. See the comments on my blog, if you can bear it, you might find them instructive.
> the 'fossil fuel industry buys lies' falsehood at Wikipedia is hopeless under the current setup
You're wrong about that, too. See for example the article on the GCC (remember them? Probably not...) where I (yes, really, me) toned down the language (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_Climate_Coalition&diff=705619973&oldid=705565799).
