Apparently, the open editing rules at Wikipedia have
allowed the founder, Jimmy Wales, to edit his own entry on the site. Though he acknowledges that perhaps he shouldn't have done so, all the 18 times that he did so. It raises an interesting question, should subjects of an article be allowed to edit the article on themselves. Well, who is more likely to recognize errors? However, who is more likely to edit out anything negative? With the anonymity that Wikipedia allows, such abuses are going to occur over and over, from Jimmy Wales on down. (link via
