Yes, I understand that.

However, I don't think that the second article counts as a "right to reply",
because the rebuttal is hidden at the bottom of a different article that is
mainly about Google and Navitime, and the second article is not referenced
from the first in a way that indicates that it contains a rebuttal of the
contents of the first.

I think that something along the lines of "OSM members refute this
statement", inside the first article, would be a "right to reply".
