I'm reminded of another entity we love to hate: credit reporting
agencies. One of the reasons we (justifiably) love to hate them
is that they provide little or no mechanism to challenge the
information they hold about us. Wikipedia should not be anything
like a credit reporting agency.
???? It is only because of laws passed within the last ten years or
so, certainly no credit to the bureaus, but... just for the record...
...everyone is entitled to get one free report every year from
Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. (This has been true for at least
ten years in Massachusetts, and has been true nationally for a couple
of years).
I noticed a ludicrous error in one of them one year, found an online
correction form, filled it out, clicked "send" or whatever, and it
was fixed in the next report.
