Sen. Jason Rapert
against the world: Wikipedia edition.

Rapert is highly excited about material posted about him on Wikipedia. Wikipedia editors are instructing him on the finer points of the crowd-sourced encyclopedia and also gently noted that it is considered a bit of a conflict of interest to edit a page about yourself.

Among other complaints, Rapert objects to citations of the Arkansas Times. Sticking in his craw still is our coverage of a famous speech about minorities, supported by a videotape of the man’s words.
