Canada edits Wiki

Altering a Wikipedia entry that describes your own life has become very common, but just because it is about you, does this mean to say that this sort of practice is ok?

It seems that it probably depends on who you are, take one Jim Prentice, he is the Industry Minister of Canada and as part of his large remit he covers all aspects of industry, which is probably why he felt that an entry in wiki needed a bit of editing or so it has been said, you simply cannot believe anything these days!

This has thrown up all sorts of questions regarding copyright issues which are possibly an area covered by the office that he oversees.

But at the end of the day does it really matter, it is doubtful.
