This is ironic, given that Wikipedia is often a place where true
histories of things are given a fair presentation, even where they
differ from the "official corporate history". See [[Monopoly
(game)]] (not really invented by Charles Darrow), [[McDonald's]] (not
really started by Ray Kroc), and the decades-long battle between
[[Skippy peanut butter]] and [[Skippy (comic strip)]] (ignored in the
corporate history).
