But there was more. Much more. As soon as the Op-Ed article appeared, unhappy Wikipedia editors pounced on my Wikipedia page and started making alterations to it, erasing as much as they possibly could without (I assume) technically breaking the rules. They removed the links to outside sources, like interviews of me and reviews of my novels. Not surprisingly, they also removed the link to the Op-Ed article. At the same time, they put up a banner at the top of my page saying the page needed “additional citations for verifications.” Too bad they’d just taken out the useful sources.
Childish behavior like this is much more damaging to Wikipedia's reputation than any critical article in the media. And as long as the editors of Wikipedia act this way, Wikipedia will never get a single cent from me, no matter how many banner ads they slap over the top of the page pleading for donations.
