Kittengate

How MacKinnon and a colleague once 'vandalised' this article to show students how Wikipedia works.

You can't make a meaningful point about how Wikipedia compares with traditional reference sources by vandalising an article about someone who wouldn't come close to getting an article in one.

I think the info above belongs in the article.  --

Rebecca MacKinnon on January 28, 2009 published an open letter to President Obama http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2009/01/dear-president-obama-in-talking-to-china-remember-its-people.html, I think this is a very important document.
