Interesting, but that kind of thing is bound to go on with any publication IMO. Anything involving history, people, politics and world events are bound to be manipulated and biased.

That Jimmy Wales comes across as a grade A fanny.
Every time I see his face on the banner I want to poke him in the eye with my pen.
