A false Wikipedia 'biography' - Yahoo! News

A real thought-provoking piece regarding Wikipedia written by John Seigenthaler, former administrative assistant to Robert Kennedy in the early 1960s. His Wikipedia entry insinuated that he was an assassin, and possibly responsible for the deaths or Kennedy and his brother. But all of it was crap.

Now Seigenthaler has battled, with little success, to clear his name and confront his accuser. He demands that we stop protecting people who post on the Internet, and argues against the virtue of anonymity. While I agree that what happened to him was wrong, I disagree with his suggested changes.

But it's good food for thought.
