This is unacceptable no matter which side of the aisle you are on....

Now, I will say I think it is acceptable for a person to police entries about themselves, and provide FACTUAL edits to their own wikipedia entry, but editing to include lies, fabrications or stretched truths is not.

The one thing I found odd was this one:

One user, with an IP address that points to a government office in Ottawa, removed Wikipedia's entire entry on homosexuality several times on July 20, 2005, and replaced it with such sentences as: "Homosexuality is evil," "Homosexuality is wrong according to the Bible" and "Homosexuals need our help and counselling." The IP address responsible for that edit continued to deface the entry on homosexuality a total of 24 times between July, 2005, and July, 2006...

Odd, and so very doctrinaire. That's scary!

Alright, back to work, and remember that the veracity of wikipedia is suspect.
