I was defamed in some remarks on a page's history. I sent a message to the address listed for "incorrect information about myself," but have received no reply. How should I have gone about getting those remarks removed?
The page in question is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_service_dog (the history section)
What happened: A friend told me a link had been removed from the page. I went to the page and returned that link, with a comment about wanting the page to show a more balanced view of the topic instead of one group's agenda. I later found the friend had also edited the page. A revert war ensued between my friend and user:PSDS, and I was accused of doing a lot of things I didn't do. My name is smeared all over the history in a defamatory way. I especially resent this since I'm the one who talked sense into my friend and got her to look up the appropriate procedure for dealing with the disagreement. I did the right things, yet I am defamed. How do I fix it?
Thank you for your time and consideration.

In regards to the material you posted to wikibooks on traveling with service dogs. Because of copyright reasons pages may not be simply copied and pasted between wikimedia projects. Instead they must be Transwikied to preserve the edit history. Thenub314 ( talk) 15:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Not that I am any great expert, but I suspect you can move the copy the whole article over via the transwiki process, then over at the new wiki you can remove the irrelevant sections. Which I did for this article. Also that puts it under the transwiki: part of the wiki, which helps draw people's attention to fixing the article. Over at wikibooks for example, words are generally are linked to other places like they are with wikipedia. So someone has to go through and "de-wikify", then it needs a table of contents, etc. Keep up the good work by the way, both here and there! Thenub314 ( talk) 08:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
