There are some rather troublesome inaccuracies in the Wikipedia
article on the AMPRNet. Does anyone on this list have edit privileges
on this page so those could be corrected?

Is this what you're referring to?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPRNet
If so anyone can edit it, it's wikipedia.

You can look at revision history as well, to determine what was changed and
possibly change it back.

Ah, I stand corrected; I've updated the entry. The section on 44.128/16 was
pointing to an obsolete article that incorrectly gave the impression that
that subnet was unroutable like an RFC1918 network, whereas it's really just
reserved for testing.
Unfortunately, there's an article on www.eastnetpacket.net that incorrectly
states that it *IS* an RFC1918-style network and people outside the AMPRNet
are quoting it as justification for using the network AS an unrouted network.

Where? I've never heard of these guys, are you sure it's not an abandoned
site like the http://fadca.info group?
Ironically I ran into one of these Fadca people at a hamfest 3-4 years ago
after giving a talk, they wanted to know how they could take over allocating
44.98/16 since it's "rightfully theirs". I kept walking :)

I'm informed that the author of that website has died, so yes,
I'd say it's abandoned. If the Wikipedia article hadn't cited
it as an authority, it wouldn't matter.
