Default Wikipedia Controversy about Eric Schiller

I appreciate you sticking up for Schiller, but the paragraph you obkect to:

What I am objecting to is the following remarks by Camembert, "Many of
them have received scathing reviews: reviewing for the Chess Cafe,
Carsten Hansen said Schiller's tome on the Frankenstein-Dracula
Variation of the Vienna Game was "by far THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER
SEEN" [1], while Tony Miles' famous review of Unorthodox Chess
Openings for Kingpin consisted of two words: "Utter crap."


....is in fact entirely correct. I suppose you are saying that there should
be no mention of those two reviews. But for many of us that is what Schiller
is most famous for.
