Wikipedia and other Wiki sites can be inaccurate, and seemingly agenda driven. If there is some kind of official logo and they are putting up bad information, then why would you want your logo associated with bad information?
Specifically Wikipedia is notorious for maintaining bad information if they don't like the accurate data. Families and Estates complain all the time about going in to correct information, with data and sources, only to have Wikipedia monitors or admin or whatever, go in and replace it with their own, inaccurate info. It happens all the time. So not only do I think it's a good move, I hope it's a trend.
I have not seen the page, and I have no idea whether any of it is accurate or not, it might be good info for all I know, but I have heard of, and have been on the bad end of Wikipedia using their site to smear people, or seemingly purposely mislead people.
Most people tend to believe things they see on their TV or in a source they think is going to be accurate. So just to be on the safe side, making sure you are not associated with bad info is a good idea. I applaud this.
I don't blame them
