Biden vs. Wikipedia

It turns out you can rewrite history, or at least Joe Biden’s entry on Wikipedia.The online encyclopedia invites its readers to revise and update entries at will.

Biden’s staff took the site at its word, repeatedly tweaking the potential presidential candidate’s online profile to delete or tone down references to plagiarism and to insert flattering references to the senator.
An entry that once read Biden “was found to have plagiarized a speech from British Labour Leader Neil Kinnock” said Thursday night that “He was alleged to have plagiarized a speech from British Labour Leader Neil Kinnock.”A paragraph referring to Biden’s 2008 presidential aspirations was altered from “His name is mentioned on the long list of possible candidates for President” to “Biden’s name regularly appears on most short lists of possible candidates for President.”
