Wikipedia Seigenthaler biography incident
2005 editorial controversy on Wikipedia
On May 26, 2005, an unregistered editor created a hoax Wikipedia article about journalist John Seigenthaler.[1] The article falsely stated that Seigenthaler had been a suspect in the assassinations of U.S. presidentJohn F. Kennedy and U.S. attorney generalRobert F. Kennedy.

Curriculum Vitae
A graduate of Swarthmore College (BA 1984), the University of Pennsylvania (MA 1989), and the University of Texas at Austin (MA 1998, PhD 2004), Peter Siegenthaler specializes in the social, cultural, and political contexts for historic preservation and heritage tourism in postwar Japan. His PhD dissertation, “Looking to the Past, Looking to the Future: The Localization of Japanese Historic Preservation, 1950–1975,” investigates the origins of three local preservation movements in the 1950s and 1960s, to establish a historical basis for the sudden prominence of “townscape preservation” (machinami hozon) movements across Japan in the 1970s and since. His current research expands that project to look back at the role of the Allied Occupation in the refashioning of heritage preservation in Japan in the late 1940s and to look more deeply at the cultural and political dynamics that informed the promotion of historic preservation in smaller Japanese cities in the 1950s.
