Congress caught making false entries in Wikipedia
According to CNET's Politics Blog, "the trusty editors at Wikipedia got together and compiled a list of over 1,000 edits made by Internet addresses allocated to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives."
It goes on, "This juvenalia is, of course, thoroughly bipartisan. Another change to the Iraq invasion entry shows that the anonymous congressional editor played up the dubious connections between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein."
I call on both sides to stop this foolishness. Unless you have something both meaningful and true to add to an article, you shouldn't be editing it. Unless the content is unfactual, you shouldn't be mad about it. If you can't prove something about an issue one way or another, don't delete the side you don't support. If your side isn't in the article, add it without changing the other view listed. Remember, America is a democracy and the Bill of Rights applies to Wikipedia just like everything else here.
