Wikipedia Strikes Back

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 @ 1:27 pm | Culture, MISC

wikipedia-logo-en-big-244x300.pngWikipedia is the most frequented website on the net for popular subject searches. Hard to believe based on the fact that pretty much anyone can write anything about any subject and it will most likely be published. However, recently Wikipedia decided to strike back against a series of entries authored by scientologists attempting to manipulate information regarding their religion. These authors have been banned by the site’s arbitration council in a 10-1 vote, overturning some vital wikiprinciples in the process. But will this ruling work in their favor? Or will this merely encourage others to continue in the scientologist’s footsteps, in a fight against censorship? http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/05/wikipedia-bans-church-of-scientology /Users/gabrielr/Desktop/wikipedia-logo-en-big-244×300.png
