Abstract (Summary) 
Last month, Wales was accused of intervening to protect the online encyclopedia's page 
of a television news commentator with whom he had a romantic relationship.



Since he helped create Wikipedia in 2001, Jimmy Wales has been called many things, 
among them benevolent dictator and constitutional monarch. Unfortunately for him, 
the news media love a good royalty scandal.

Last month, Wales was accused of intervening to protect the online encyclopedia's 
page of a television news commentator with whom he had a romantic relationship. 
The accusations were fueled by text messages, said to be between Wales and the 
commentator, Rachel Marsden, that were posted on a gossip Web site.

And there have been persistent accusations that Wales has abused his expense account, 
including filing for a $1,300 dinner for four at a Florida steakhouse that was 
ultimately denied and lacking receipts for $30,000 in expenses.

In some ways, these allegations illustrate the growing pains that Wikipedia is experiencing. 
The populist impetus for Wikipedia has been spectacularly fulfilled with more than 
2.2 million separate articles in English and top 10 most-visited status.

Until recently, however, Wikipedia was run more like a storefront community center than a 
digital-age powerhouse. What was a nine-person operation has recently grown to 15 employees. 
Last year's $2.2 million budget grew to $4.6 million this year.

The persistent arguments about whether to accept any advertising, no matter how indirect, 
to increase revenue -- something Wales and others say they oppose -- have recently flared up again.

As long as he is involved with Wikipedia, Wales will UNFORTUNATELY continue to be a guiding 
light for its contributors -- as well as a lighting rod for its critics.
