[Novalug] [OT] speaking of wikipedia

[Bonnie Dalzell]

What does one do if one encounters a consistant error at a wikipedia 
page?

I was reading a biographica account of a biologist and the wiki page in 
question was having his name misspelled. I looked in the page history and 
saw that some one was repeatedly coming on line and changing the spelling 
of the name when ever it was corrected.

Although I do not have access to the scientist's birth certificate I have 
read a number of his books in hardcopy and his biographical pages at the 
National Academy of Science website so I am pretty sure that the 
correct spelling of the name is as it is on his books and 
biography.

I think if I go to the page and correct the name spelling (with 
references) it will just be reversed by the spelling changer.

Curious minds are wondering what the best protocol is ....
