WASHINGTON — Sen. Norm Coleman's staff made revisions to his biography in an online encyclopedia, putting a different spin on his record.

Wikipedia, an encyclopedia that relies on volunteers to post information, featured Coleman's biography as one of a half-dozen that had been edited by Senate employees. Although the Web site did not specify who edited them, Coleman's chief of staff, Erich Mische, confirmed that the senator's staff had done so.

He said the editing was done to correct inaccuracies and delete information that was not reflective of Coleman, a Minnesota Republican.

"They've got an edit provision on there for the sake of editing when things are not accurate," Mische said. "I presume if they did not want people to edit, they wouldn't allow you to edit."
