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."

Disclaimer: I certainly don't want to turn the CIA as an entity into a bunch of nice guys, but

have you checked out there Factbook?

It's arguably one of the best country resources for years, alas with an US slant (i.e. illicit drugs are very mymy in just about every country).

Nevertheless, it would be a shame if such a resource was to be pulled for "security reasons").
