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).
