Wikipedia Founder Edits Own Bio
Carnildo writes "Wired News reports that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has edited his own entry in the online encyclopedia at least 18 times, in violation of Wikipedia's policy on autobiography. Edits included removing phrases describing Larry Sanger as a co-founder of Wikipedia, and changing phrasing describing Bomis.com, another of Wales' sites, as a pornography site."
"I don't see why editing your bio, espcially to correct errors, would be such a terrible crime worthy of news"
Perhaps because Whales was in the hardcore porno industry before his work with Wikipedia, and the article referended his past in the industry with the facts. Whales didn't seem to like the bio including his work in the porno industry and so he deleted those portion(s).
He owned several very big porno websites and was a porn cameraman for several years.
He doesn't want this information to be let out of the bag, so he's deleting and censoring it.
