Theodore N. "Ted" Pappas is the current executive editor of Encyclopædia Britannica, and a leading critic of Misplaced Pages. Earlier he was managing editor of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. He has also written Plagiarism and the Culture War: The Writings of Martin Luther King Jr. and Other Prominent Americans.

He was a member of the League of the South, an organization which advocates that the southern states secede from the Union (yes, even now!) because of the illegal seizure of their property, i.e., the slaves. When he was editor of "Chronicles," he was in fact working for the Rockford Institute, an organization that opposed school desegregation in Rockford, Illinois. In a notable comment, he referred to the comedian Ellen Degeneres as "Ellen Degenerate." He calls himself a "paleoconservative," a term which signals his alliance to politicians like Pat Robertson, who oppose immigration.
