Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales repeatedly alters his entry, "deleting phrases describing former Wikipedia employee Larry Sanger as a co-founder of the site." (Sanger responds here). The changes were ferreted out by Rogers Cadenhead, who broke the story on his blog.

I think this will say more about Wikipedia than the recent Seigenthaler scandal.

Also, his name is code for:

Clearly an anti-semite.

I searched, really. Sorry about that.

they are both wrong. aliens invented wikipedia. However, Sanger is more correct because the aliens came to HIM with the idea.

Do we now get to Wale's bio to include the fact that he edited his own bio, since the fact has become a matter of public record and debate?

This is getting too meta for me.

I searched, really. Sorry about that.

"of course, i don't really know how to search, and even if i did, there is no decent index of this site extant, and even if there was, another 'OMGWTF SOMEONE EDITED A WIKI' post would still suck smiling dogs."

I don't know if I'd call that "smiling," exactly...
