She missed last year, and certainly enlivened the KFests the previous

Ha, that Wikipedia entry has several errors in it. Whoever wrote it up didn't double-check. 

From what I've heard, that's not the exception, that's the rule.

The actual person is restricted from editing or otherwise correcting
his own entry (for possibly good reason), but also has no appeal path
other than discussion about the entry.  If someone has an axe to grind,
there's no real remedy.

Although the egalitarian dogma of the Wiki is appealing, it has obvious
shortcomings, since we are not all equally expert in all things, nor
are we equally objective.  ;-)
