   Oh, it's worse on IMDb, at least as far as getting things fixed.  I    
   update an actress friend of mine's page at both sites.  Some asshole    
   decided she's 2 years older than she really is.  Thing is, I've known    
   her since we were 12 and in 7th grade together.  I know damn well how    
   old she is.  On Wiki, I was able to explain that on the changes page and    
   they listened and stopped making her older.  On IMDb, no such luck.     
   They used to change it back and forth constantly but stopped, on the    
   theory that 'the older age is always correct' - assholes.   
      
   On my own page, somebody went in and killed the credits for my team that    
   built the Nautilus replica for the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea DVD.     
   For one of the guys, that was his only industry credit, and his entire    
   page vanished!  I've tried for a couple years to get it reinstated, but    
   IMDb doesn't even acknowledge your attempts; changes either appear or    
   they don't.   
      
   While massive abuse can and does happen on Wiki, at least there's a    
   record of it, and you can be heard.
