Does Jimmy Wales edit with a NPOV when it comes to pretty brunettes?

There seems to be a pattern with the Wikipedia edits of co-founder Jimmy Wales, when he decides to monkey with the article biographies of attractive, dark-headed women:

What gives?

    Turns out that the Georgian-born brunette in question had in fact lived in Canada in the years prior to her rise to power in the Georgian government. So perhaps Jimbo thinks he has a chance with her. Who appointed such an inexperienced woman to the Cabinet? Saakashvili, a man after Jimbo's heart.

    I have no problem with Wales so blatantly flouting Wikipedia policies. I just wish he'd come out and admit that Wikipedia policies don't apply to him.

    Of course not. That's like asking if an Israeli editing articles about Palestine is being completely objective. Either Jimmy Wales hopes to have sex with these women, or he already has. But I'm sure some Wikipediots will step up and come up with a tortured explanation as to how their holy Führer is actually complying with NPOV and COI policies.

    The only users that truly obey the NPOV policy are bots. Unless maybe the POV of the human who programmed the bot...

    Anyhoo, once a man hits 30 (sooner for some men), he needs all the advantages he can get. I would do exactly the same thing if I was in his shoes. Maybe I'd be a little more discreet, but you get the idea.
