This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Andrew Leonard (17 May 2013). "Revenge, ego and the corruption of Wikipedia". Salon.com. Retrieved 17 May 2013. Two edits stand out. Qworty excised the phrase "and was regarded as a good mentor" from a sentence that started: "Hannah taught creative writing for 28 years at the University of Mississippi, where he was director of its M.F.A. program …" And he changed the cause of Hannah's death from "natural causes" to "alcoholism." But Hannah's obituaries stated that he had died of a heart attack and been clean and sober for years before his death, while his role as a mentor was testified to in numerous memorials. (Another editor later removed the alcoholism edit.)
Taken all together, the edits strongly suggest a focused attempt to diminish Hannah's legacy. But why? Who was Qworty and what axe did he have to grind with Hannah?

Qworty & vandalism/revenge edits

This entry needs substantial cleaning after it was publicly revealed in an article for Salon that user Qworty promotes his fiction and disparages other authors using his Wikipedia account^[1]. The article notes several references to interviews and articles and related links that Qworty deleted, but also misinformation & libel. The awards section has been readmitted to the entry. Hannah is a Guggenheim fellow, among the recipient of other prominent awards, and these should be noted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Muddbrixx (talk • contribs) 20:25, 17 May 2013‎
