"My recollection is that it's completely fine. It was certainly accurate. I never felt any need to correct it. Although, actually, at one time my Wikipedia entry was vandalized. Probably if I say that it'll encourage people to vandalize it. No, who would even care? People wrote stuff in my Wikipedia entry that was obscene and I didn't know it until my brother alerted me. That was how I found out I had a Wikipedia entry: It was being vandalized."
