Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-08-14/In the news
- On August 16, 2006, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Gil Gutknecht's office twice -- on July 24 and August 14, 2006 -- removed a 128-word section in the Wikipedia article on him, replacing it with a more flattering 315-word entry taken from his official congressional biography. Most of the removed text was about the 12-year term-limit Gutknecht imposed on himself in 1995. A spokesperson for Gutknecht did not dispute that his office changed his Wikipedia entry, but questioned the fundamental reliability of the encyclopedia itself. [1]
This was actually a front-page headline in which the first word was "Wikipedia". I'll leave it to someone more familiar with the conventions of the Signpost to incorporate this thereinto. Michael Hardy 21:43, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
