Wikipedia Wacks Backpedaling Political Figure
Representative Gil Gutknecht (R-Minnesota) Caught Attempting To Edit Wikipedia Bio
Our country is mostly clueless on how computers and the Internet really work. Those that try to cover things up now reveal more by trying this kind of thing than if they just left it alone. I think it's pretty cool! The only thing that I worry about is that if politicians really catch on they may pass laws to protect themselves from this kind of thing...
A spokesman for Gutknecht, didn't dispute that they tried to change the entry and questioned Wikipedia's reliability. "We're concerned when anyone looks to Wikipedia for factual information," Jon Yarin said.
Yeah, we'd sure hate for them to find any, like this link found in Gutknecht's bio to a USATODAY story that backs up the information stated on Wikipedia... :-)
