Wikipedia Blocks Suspicious Edits From DoJ

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the watching-the-watchers dept.

kylehase writes "The release of Wikiscanner last year brought much attention to white-washing of controversial pages on the community-generated encyclopedia. Apparently Wikipedia is very serious in fighting such behavior as they've temporarily blocked the US Department of Justice from editing pages for suspicious edits."

    Haven't you heard? If you don't speak of the Jews in a glowingly positive manner, you're anti-semitic.

    The Jewish Defense League has done more to make people dislike Jews in the last 30 years than it has to help in any form. Seriously. It's like a whole league broadcasting Al Sharpton-esque reactionary sensitivity to anything even remotely unkind said to /about anyone even remotely Jewish-like.

    Thinnest skins in the land.
