One of the problems with publicly-editable reference project like Wikipedia is that any subject is fair game, from the politics of how the organization is run to the private lives of its founders.
James "Jimbo" Wales, co-founder and chairman emeritus of the Wikimedia Foundation, is finding himself again at the center of controversy following an ugy breakup with Canadian political pundit Rachel Marsden. Wales is currently going through a divorce, but is the subject of steamy online chat transcripts released by Marsden, who also put items of Wales’ clothing on sale on eBay Canada. The chats suggest that Wales may have violated Wikipedia’s conflict of interest rules to urge a proxy to edit Marsden’s Wikipedia entry to be more to her liking.
