Wikipedia and a war of words

It is not my favorite magazine, but it is the one we get the most often - the Washington Post Magazine arrives every Sunday. It had the wonderful Jeanne Marie Laskas column Significant Others, which she is no longer writing. It also has the sometimes stupid, sometimes hilarious Gene Weingarten.

Today's issue has an article about the president of Iran that provides some insight into how Wikipedia works. (More precisely, the article is about his controversial Wikipedia entry.) As someone who has contributed a tiny bit to Wikipedia (including some things in the article on Henry Gantt), it was very interesting.
