See Who Is Whitewashing Wikipedia
Decius6i5 writes "Caltech grad student Virgil Griffith has launched a search tool that uncovers whitewashing and other self-interested editing of Wikipedia. Users can generate lists of every edit to Wikipedia which has been made from a particular IP address range. The tool has already uncovered a number of interesting edits, such as one from the corporate offices of Diebold which removed large sections of content critical of their electronic voting machines. A Wired story provides more detail and Threat Level is running a contest to see who can come up with the most interesting Wikipedia spin job."
I'm sick and tired of you far left nutcases and your consipiracy theories. I bet you think we should just go out and change every aspect of how we live to protect against the boogeymen, right?
"Don't worry, we're not changing everything like the communists would! We're changing things in a completely different way! The state doesn't doesn't own and control everything, it just controls everything, and it's all for your protection against the capitalist pigdog -- erm, I meant to say the terrorists."
It's been a long time.
