Yeah, an encyclopedia written by the people is a dual edged sword. Often it will end up with actual, helpful information, but in matters of history or as in this case people, it could become ugly. However, I suggest you write your own accurate story, point out the inaccuracies in tabloid press and subsequently Wikipedia. Find help from someone about search engine optimization to make your page the first one to appear on a web search.
Anyway, it is refreshing to see that Wikipedia is about posting stuff that can be verified, not neccessarily the truth. ;-) A commercially edited encyclopedia would probably work in the other way around, trying to verify all sources to find the truth and nothing but the truth.
Naturally I feel into their trap by including a link to my website and when my old site went belly up, I updated it on their Wikipedia and got busted! I guess I should have read their terms and conditions to know what you can and cannot do. Though they had this article and there were several external links to simular pages which shouldn't have been there either, those pages got removed (thanks to me!! ). What I don't get is the Turbo Pascal 3.0 Compiler and Code Generation Internals remains even though it's not really Pascal related - even though it goes through discussions on little bits of pascal code, the site I felt is about disassembling Turbo Pascal 3 and going through the program and Library section.
But it doesn't worry me!
