Check out W magazine's feature on Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. Beyond the insightful observation that he "isn't your usual swoonworthy celebrity sighting... hardly George Clooney or Tom Cruise," [gasp], it provides an informative backdrop to the Web's ubiquitous information headquarters. It's also a great complement to his own Wikipedia profile, in which he is accused by a Wikipedia co-founder as "attempting to rewrite his own history." What a totally fitting scandal for the founder of a user-written encyclopedia.
