[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 232345, member: 9859"] This no doubt cheapens the authenticity of the wikipedia service. Especially when Gov't, Politcal and Private agencies are able to tap in, an edit at will. Entities such as the Dem Nat'l Headquarter editing Rush Limbaugh(which I find very amusing and true..lol**see bottum) and Apple editing Microsoft and Oprah getting a makeover seems to easy and expected. However "Wikipedia is self-correcting," meaning misleading entries can be quickly revised by another editor. Although when we start having official Gov't Agencies such as CIA and FBI intruding in a Privately owned Information Service where do you draw the line. Next will they dictate the History and Education cirriculum and texts books of our school systems ? Who does this ultimately hurt besides Wikipedia's reputation? The general public's trust in their leadership no matter which political machine is running the show. Wkmac asks"who shall we blame"?(should I take the bait?) I think we shall blame nobody but ourselves for thinking that Wikipedia is foolproof and not banning together and voting in a leadership most likely to minimize the intrusions of our personal freedoms and historical content. I'm sure were gonna hear "Wikipedia is Liberal Media" from some. Or is Kmac insinuating "Does Wikipedia has an agenda"? Uhm..thought provoking.:confused1 I'm hoping they dont revised this editited-entry** [/QUOTE]
