eldavojohn writes "There are a couple allegations of Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, abusing his power. The article states that several people claim he used the foundation to pay for person a expenses including reimbursement for a $1,300 dinner for four at a Florida steakhouse. Along with that are accusations that he dated and then edited the conservative political columnist and television commentator Rachel Marsden's Wikipedia entry after she was concerned with it and asked him about it. To which Wales replied that "I acted completely consistently with Wikipedia policy. I did the right thing: I passed along my work to date for other editors to deal with, and I recused myself from the case.""
