Google still says he is 5'6 .
I can't find height anywhere on his page though.
His page is semi-protected - some action confirmed from his revision history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ja_Rule&action=history.
We already have 5 media mentions about his beef with Wikipedia, including TIME http://time.com/4020782/ja-rule-wikipedia-height/.

meh, I'd be against tweeting about it. SOOOOO not a story. As far as I can tell (may have missed something for sure) the first time in the past couple months his height was mentioned at all was in this edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ja_Rule&diff=next&oldid=679131363 (which, along with the edit after that, actually put him at what I think? is his desired 5'9 (sorry I'm assuming he didn't like being called short :) ). After that there was a collection of edits going back and forth a couple areas, most of which were reverted in short order and then protection. The entire incident (which resulted in it basically just going back to how it was before without any mention of his height at all) was less then an hour. It screams either a manufactured story or friends playing around probably in the very same room as him :).

*"Recognized around the world as being the most talented 59' tall rapper" *
Yup, I think is a misunderstanding. I think he googled himself, sees 5'6, and sees from the knowledge graph that there's a small bio about him from Wikipedia and blames Wikipedia.
Google may be extracting height info from here? http://www.celebheights.com/s/Ja-Rule-729.html
But this a misunderstanding. Although publicity for us to have his people learn how to edit Wikipedia...?

Yes, and if there is a way to say it while making it clear that it was never our fault in the first place then I'm all for it ;) but I'm against apologizing for something we never did :P especially if everyone is entrenched already into thinking we did (which they may or may not be yet to be fair).

Thanks folks! Just happened to hear this tweet read out aloud about half an hour ago on a local Bay Area morning radio show: "Wikipedia didn't respond directly, but they retweeted ..." ("Sarah and Vinnie", a gossip/comedy format on Alice 97.3 - don't judge me, it's on the dial of my radio alarm clock as something that makes you get up quickly and turn the radio off ;) A nice reminder that even if a tweet doesn't get a lot of engagement on Twitter (this one is at 2 RTs and 2 faves currently), it can still serve to get the message out to tens of thousands of people.
