Another American politician caught removing negative material from his own Wikipedia entry

Gil Gutknecht has been caught removing negative material from his Wikipedia entry. The offending material was a summary of his breaking a election pledge on the term length sourced to a UsaToday article.

A similar broken term limits pledge was also at issue in the case of Massachusetts Democrat Marty Meehan, the first Congressman to have his office implicated in editing his own article.
