Strake, there must be several on here who are regularly editing the Wiki page to make it a bit more realistic and less puffery but those edits are, in the main, erased by others within hours, sometimes within minutes.
It is virtually impossible to keep something on Wikipedia that a determined person is trying to keep off, eg the accident history which has disappeared and Wiki editorial decision says accidents are not material to her career. How different that would be if she'd saved the plane by a miraculous bit of flying, as Satco's flagellant said above. My, we'd be drowning in a gushing torrent of self congratulation then wouldn't we?
Wiki is a great tool on routine and uncontested subjects but on contentious issues its use and policy is heavily skewed in favour of those with a gong to bang rather than the reality.
