Jimmy Wales accused of editing Wikipedia for donations.

Wiki News (Wikipedia&#8217-s twin site devoted to news edited by anyone) has a long article on that scandal, agitated by ValleyWag, and denied by TechCrunch. I&#8217-m on the side of ValleyWag&#8217-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
