The Wikapediatrician

She's indefatigable. She's effervescent and she may be coming for YOU! Yes, it's Susan Gerbic, The Wikapediatrician. Susan has been racking up quite a few accolades lately with her own special brand of Guerrilla Skepticism. Tired of listening to others drone on and on about how bad things are and not doing anything to change those issues, a few years back she picked up the skill of editing Wikipedia from fellow Wiki-Master Tim Farley and began her own style of digging in and changing articles for skeptical content. Editing Wikipedia is a powerful new tool for anyone who doesn't particularly like the "in your face" method of fighting back or appreciate being escorted out of hotels for "creating a disturbance."  This way, you can do what Susan has done: inject truth into otherwise false or unsubstantiated claims on Wiki pages and start to make a difference.
