Regarding your latest post about Witzel on Wikipedia, please see Witzel own user page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Witzel
The moderators at Wikipedia have warned him to stop editing his own page to remove material that is critical of him:
Michael, I first thought that you were an impostor (somebody posing as MW, and therefore using an inappropriate username). It would be appreciated if you would stop editing the Michael Witzel article, as it's strongly discouraged that editors should edit pages about themselves; and in particular, please don't delete valid references or external links. It might help you to read some of our guidelines and policies before continuing. Some of these are: Wikipedia:Five pillars , Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Please let me know if I can do anything else to help. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Cheers.

Yes, but the fact that even mainstream Wikipedia has pages on Wizel's anti-Hindu bias, speaks volumes:
