Silly government ;-)

Trusting anything that is on wiki is becoming foolish.
Seems like many companies are doing the same such as Sony editing the pages to beef up or boost their products...
Its quite ridiculous if you ask me.
Something should be done.

that is outragous... but then again its a WIKI. what can you say>? the principle of the wiki allows them to do as they please. even though wikipedia has rules against this. its openly editable!

We will just have to see if the owners of wiki will do something about it or not.
If they don't then they have no balls and wikipedia will become a free target for fake info edited by the companies to beef up their stuff or whatever.
