Via Glenn Fleishman, here is the Wikipedia Talk page for Danah Boyd, which I will henceforth use as an example of all that’s right and wrong with Wikipedia.

I had to go wash my mouth out with olive oil and arsenic when I read that Wikipedia page. When you start reading all the editorial policies that the editors invoke when it serves their purposes, and the fact that a subject can’t correct information about themselves in any form (I understand people rewriting their history), it just becomes absurd.
I mean, you should be allowed to control the orthography and appearance of your name, at the very least.
