Trying to contact Sinbad
By Charles Pulliam

David “Sinbad” Adkins, an actor and stand-up comedian, was unavailable for comment June 7.

Adkins was one of the many examples of how Wikipedia anonymous publishers can defame others, according to a speech from John Seigenthaler.

Getting in contact with the 51-year-old Adkins was a difficult process.

He is a member of several celebrity agencies. I called two of them with dead ends.

I left a message with a request for an interview with one of Adkins' helpers. It wasn't even his assistant, though.

Instead, it was the lawyer's assistant's helper. Apparently, the helper worked only until noon each day and was also unavaible for comment.
