Wikipedia locks congressman's page after he's labeled 'douchebag'

http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/09/wikipedia-locks-congressmans-page-after-hes-labeled-douchebag/

The Republican congressman whose outburst of "you lie!" during President Barack Obama's healthcare speech to Congress is now under lock and key.

At least online. Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) now has a locked Wikipedia page after vandals edited his profile to allege that he was a "douchebag."

That having been said, the Wikis did the right thing. For credibility reasons, Wiki articles need to be as factual as possible.
