'The sad thing as far as i am concerned is that there are a good proportion people in the uk folk revival who are not interested in Sharp or traditional songs, or the singers he collected from.and who might briefly glance at material from reputable magazines and journalists on the subject and end up as i did,with certain impressions of Sharp'

We can certainly agree on that, Dick. I set out on my research with the impression that Sharp was a rather nasty piece of work, or at best a fusty old snob. That impression didn't last when I read his writings. Mike Yates has said something similar about altering his impressions.

Re wiki, I thought you had to be an approved editor to alter it?
