How could it be unknown? Don’t they record who makes each edit?

Big whoop. Wikipedia is as reliable a source of info as my wife’s beauty shop. Right up there with Snopes.

A bunch of Freepers should make it their goal to rewrite a lot of Wikipedia

It could at least keep their censors busy.

Sometimes peace is had by knowing that a given source is dedicated to being slanted. Like grinding the fool in a mortar why bother. Better to let it display ignorance publicly then rebuke it in other forums.

The same people who pull this crap think they can create their own reality with mere words. That’s why the treat the Constitution with such contempt.
