A guy I knew at the Media Lab said that Marvin Minsky tried to correct his Wikipedia article, but someone reverted it. The IP address came from inside the Media Lab, so it might have very well been him.

The small-community-far-from-everything is quite similar to Wikipedia in its early years. Look at 2002-2005 and you'll see lots of anonymous Good Samaritans contributing helpful content. (Look for R6 and R7 on http://slightlynew.blogspot.com/2011/05/who-writes-wikipedia... to see a time series of anonymous contributions from 2003 to 2010.)
