Jimmy Wales accused of editing Wikipedia for donations.
Chris F. Masse March 15th, 2008
Wiki News (Wikipedia’s twin site devoted to news edited by anyone) has a long article on that scandal, agitated by ValleyWag, and denied by TechCrunch. I’m on the side of ValleyWag’s Paul Boutin, on that one. The media should start asking the hard questions. [I'm not saying that Jimmy Wales, who has earned our respect, is a culprit. I'm just saying that the media should investigate more on that.] And blogger Mike Linksvayer, who urged us many times to contribute US dollars and French francs to Wikipedia, should do too.
UPDATE: New York Times
