Like the "Jimbo ordered people to fix Marsden's bio" thing, this is a non-story. Jimbo frequently took the initiative in stubbing down crappy articles and asking editors to start afresh. Good practice. Nice of Jeff to give a donation, but stubbing down a bad biography is standard practice.
Oh yay, this'll work wonders for Wikimedia Australia's rep....

Yeah, my posting that it's come out in the press is not an opinion statement that there's truth to the story etc etc.
