Have you edited a Wikipedia entry? |

It is difficult to do? How do you change an entry someone made that is in error?

I changed a photo and edited some rather nasty and untrue comments about a friend of mine. Keeping my fingers crossed I don't have to do it again, as I don't remember my username and password. But if memory serves it was easy to do.
