A literary agent sued 15 individual bloggers, as well as the Wikipedia Foundation and the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America organization, over various postings challenging her ability and ethics.

On July 21, the state court dismissed the claims against Wikipedia, under section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Claims against at least five of the blogger defendants were later dismissed from the case.
