Oh What A Vicious Wikipedia Web ...

Wikipedia is in the news again. The bad press this time is inspired by Jimmy Wales, who was caught editing his own Wikipedia bio by Wired magazine. Apparently Mr. Wales did not like what others were saying about him, though he did not claim that they weren't true.

When I was a kid, my mom used to say, "Oh what a vicious web we weave, when first we start to deceive." I don't know where she got it, other than her mom used to say it to her.

I think Wikipedia had better hire a professional communications consultant right away.
